Main draw

[edit | edit source]

The draw for the last 16 was made on the evening of 1 September 2011 at the Guildford Spectrum during the Premier League. The draw for quarter-finals and semi-finals were made on a random basis.[2] All matches were best of 3 frames. Matches were played on a roll on/roll off basis. Play started at the allocated time each day with a 15-minute interval between matches, except the final after a 20-minute interval. The evening session didn't start before the time indicated on the format. All frames were subjected to a 30-second shot clock after ten minutes of play and the miss rule was altered so "ball-in-hand" anywhere on the table was awarded after the third miss.[2][8] All times are GMT.[9][10]
