This tournament is separate to the controversial Macau exhibition event, which was postponed to the prior week after Luca Brecel, Mark Selby, John Higgins, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Ali Carter were threatened with disciplinary action after they planned to skip the Northern Ireland Open to take part.

The World Snooker Tour (WST) wrote in a statement that those players would be in breach of their contract by attending the big-money exhibition, before it was re-arranged for December 22-24.
