The Cazoo Masters is snooker's most high-profile invitational tournament and a key part of the game's Triple Crown Series. The event sees snooker's top 16 players invited to compete in a knockout competition over the course of a week. All matches up to and including the Semi-Finals are decided on a best-of-11-frames basis, while the Final will be best-of-19-frames. The winner of the event takes home the Paul Hunter Trophy and more than £250,000 in prize money.
Palm Court, on the west side of Alexandra Palace, operates as the venue's main entrance. For most events, doors open one hour before the start time.
