The eight players were initially divided into two groups of four, in which a simple round- robin tournament was played. At the end, a final table was drawn up based on the frames won or lost, and the first-placed winner advanced to the final. In this the tournament winner was then decided. While the group games went over five frames each, the final was played in the best of 17 frames mode .
