The 19.com Scottish Open in 2019 were a world ranking tournament at the Snooker - season 2019/20 . For the fourth time in a row they found in the Emirates Arena in Scottish Glasgow instead, they began on 9 and ended on 15 December. As in previous years, the Scottish Open was the third tournament in the Home Nations series after the English Open and the Northern Ireland Open .

Defending champion was the Northern Irishman Mark Allen , who, however, failed in the semifinals just 5: 6 to Jack Lisowski . Lisowski, who also managed the highest break of the tournament, faced Mark Selby in the final , to whom he lost 6-9. Selby was also the first player to win more than one Home Nations series within a season .

Prize money

The prize pool for all four Home Nations series tournaments increased for the first time, by £ 39,000 . This benefited only the weaker players, who got £ 500 more in the first two rounds and £ 1,500 more in the round of 16. Nothing changed in the front seats. For the fourth time, no player had succeeded in winning the two previous Home Nations tournaments, so that the 1 million bonus for the quadruple victory in one season was no longer achievable this year.
