history

The tournament was first played in December 2018 in Valencia with 16 participants. There were eight games in the first round, after which the winners went into a winner's round and the losers into a loser's round . The winners of the players in the Winner's Round were then qualified directly for the quarter-finals, while the losers in a second Loser's Round met the winners of the first Loser's Round and the winners of the former also made it to the quarter-finals. From this point on, the normal knockout system was used , with the game being played in the best of 3 frames mode and quarter and semi-finals in the best of 7 frames mode up to the quarter-finals . The final between Francisco Sánchez Ruíz and Aleix Melia finally went over a maximum of nine frames, of which Ruíz only needed seven to win the title.

The next year the tournament took place in Madrid . Again Sánchez Ruíz reached the final, in which he was able to defend the title with a 4-3 win over David Alcaide .
