Ten of the 16 players that will be at the event have now been announced, as well as the precise location and time. Moody Theater in Austin, Texas, will be home to the tournament from May 25th to 27th. The winner will take home $15,000, but prizes are handed out to even the last place.
The confirmed list of players is as follows:

The round robin group play will be played on Saturday, with the top players of each group progressing to the play-offs on Sunday. All matches will be best of 3 except for 3rd, 4th and grand final, which will be best of 5.
