Competition at the event will be hotly contested so tournament director Martin Hodds has formed a strong head referee group with himself, Chris Thomas and Christian Short who will be on hand to cast judgement over any match issues that may arise though out the event.
The ESA are hoping that the Grand Prix will be a competitive but fun event that will be enjoyed by all players and spectators.
