The qualifiers take place from 24th – 27th February ahead of the full tournament which begins on March 28th. The event is hosted at the Beijing University Students Gymnasium in Beijing, China. It is the last ranking event before the World Championship and was won in 2010 by Welshman Mark Williams who beat Ding Junhui 10-6. The only year it was won by a Chinese player was in 2005 when Ding Junhui beat Stephen Hendry 9-5.
The bookmakers Stan James are one of the only bookmakers (if that the only major bookie that is doing so) that are currently offering odds on the China Open Qualifiers. A spokesperson for the bookmakers said that as these qualifiers are featuring some of the future stars of snooker that punters should be given the opportunity to bet on these rising stars before they become household names.
