Round-robin Stage
The first round used a round-robin format like last season. The top 32 and the 16 qualifiers were placed in eight groups of six with the top 2 from each group qualifying for the knockout stage. Matches in the round-robins were the best of seven frames.
Tom Ford made a maximum break in his match against Steve Davis. For this feat, he won £24,000.

Famous quotes containing the word stage:
“These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
