It's snooker's equivalent of the FA Cup, with 20 winners from club competitions to go through to the professional qualifying rounds in August. They will then have the chance to get through to the televised stages in Glasgow in September, when the world's top players will be competing for the title.
Rileys has 10 places up for grabs and the knockouts will take place at Rileys clubs throughout the UK on the 10th and 11th of July, with the winners going forward to regional finals on the 31st July and 1st August.
Maurice Kelly, CEO of Rileys, said: "We are delighted with the response so far. We have some very talented players in our clubs and the World Open offers a fantastic opportunity for ten Rileys qualifiers to play against the best."
