The Champion of Champions gets underway on Monday with most of the world’s best players lining up at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in Bolton.
Tournament winners over the last year have booked their places at the prestigious non-ranking event, which Mark Allen won last year as he beat Judd Trump in the final.
It is a hugely busy time on the snooker calendar as the International Championship comes to an end on Sunday in Nanjing, China and the Champion of Champions begins in Lancashire, England just hours later.
The winner of the International Championship will take the last spot in Bolton, with Ding Junhui and Chris Wakelin battling it out for the chance to play Judd Trump on Wednesday.
