Because it might get confused with the previous tournament of the same name?

Ha! I liked the Tudor beams. Does Ricoh have the comfy chairs? I haven't looked in on it yet.

its basically practice with a structure if you lose the final you get more practice and win a few more cash.
everything bookies should be against is in this event

It doesn't make sense, but this event exists now purely as a vehicle for the bookies to lay bets.

Should be. But aren't.
If people bet money on it enough for them to make profit, bookies aren't going to worry if it's fair or moral. They only care about that when it's them being screwed.

It's a rubbish event, and we want rid of it.
But, it'll exist for as Long as the bookies say so.

the prize money must be worth entering. Plus best of 5 even Matt Selt has a chance to win. If he qualifies to enter this anyway.
