From the introduction of the tournament as the Jiangsu Classic in 2008, until 2011, it was an invitation-only tournament with no points for the world rankings . Nevertheless, it was part of the Snooker Main Tour at the beginning of each season .
From 2008 to 2011 twelve players took part in the tournament, who played the four semi-finalists in two groups of six.
