The first tournament was played as a round-robin in 1984, with Terry Griffiths winning the tournament by topping the group.[2] The tournament was not played the following season, but returned in a knockout format in 1986, with Jimmy White winning by defeating Dennis Taylor 2–1 in the final.[3] A third tournament was held in 1996 for lower-ranked players; Dominic Dale won the first professional tournament of his career by defeating Drew Henry 8–3 in the final.[4]
