The main feature of this tournament is its new format. The competition is now divided into two stages: the main stage (essentially a preliminary round) and the final. Billiard players invited by the organizing committee will enter the competition by skipping the initial stage of the competition. Their opponents in the first round of the main playoffs will be the 32 and 16 winners of the qualifying rounds, respectively.

The tournament prize fund is 2.5 million rubles.
