Field of participants
Only players who were not in the top 16 of the world rankings were allowed to take part in the tournament. A total of 26 players took part in the tournament, three of whom were amateur players at the time. Twenty of these players started the tournament with a first round, with three players giving up their games without a fight and thus advancing their opponents to the second round. There the winners of the first round met either one of the same or one of the remaining players and henceforth played the tournament winner in the knockout system . The first round and the subsequent game for third place were played in the best of 3 frames mode , while the round of 16, the quarter-finals and the semifinals lasted a maximum of five frames and the final lasted a maximum of seven frames.
final
With Rex Williams and Ray Edmonds two Englishmen and at the same time two former world champions in English billiards reached the final of the tournament . Williams had first defeated George Scott on his way to the final, which began with a bye for the first round , before reaching the final with a victory over the more famous Jackie Rea and the young Eugene Hughes . Edmonds had also had a bye and moved into the semifinals with two wins over Clive Everton , who mostly appeared as a snooker journalist rather than a snooker player, and Paul Medati , where he was a white-wash over the later in the decade in sixth place placed Mike Hallett had succeeded. There are no exact frame results from the final itself, but all in all Williams defeated Edmonds 4: 1.
