One of the leading professional tournaments after World War II, the event was sponsored by the Sunday newspaper ''News of the World'' and carried a £1,500 prize money. The event was first held at the Leicester Square Hall in London, where it remained until the venue closed in January 1955. The event was played on a round-robin basis. All tournaments used a handicap system, as Joe Davis was deemed superior and his opponents were given points per .

The highest break of the tournament was four times higher than 140, which was unusual at that time.〔
