Due to the number of entrants I have decided to put in a group stage, this will consist of either 4 groups of 4, or 4 groups of 5; with the top two going through. Then the normal KO system will resume.

Each group game will play out 9 frames (Each player playing 3) and alternating between the opponents from the other team so that everyone plays everyone. The winner of the group will play the runner-up from another group and visa-versa.

The KO stage will stay at best of 9's for the quarter final, although the distance will extend in the semis to best of 12 will the possibility of a 1 man play off. And the final the same.
