The tournament featured eight exclusively Scottish professional players.

The quarter-final and semi-final matches were contested over the best of 9 frames, and the final as best of seventeen.

Defending champion Stephen Hendry did not enter; his manager Ian Doyle said that this was because Hendry was "in a different class" to the other Scottish professional players.

John Rea won the event, beating Murdo MacLeod 9–7 in the final.

In his earlier match against Ian Black, Rea compiled a 147 maximum break.
