I was just about to create the thread but you beat me to it.
The likes of Kurt Maflin, Robin Hull and Kristján Helgason didn't take part so the best of the best were absent but I think the name of the tournament is still justified. Last year there were no Finns, Rune Kampe from Norway won. This is the second year the tournament is held - before the tournament was created there had been Nordic Invitational events, though, which were pro-am events.

the list is up-to-date).
McCabe earned 1,200 euros for his victory. Kampe won 600 euros plus 100 euros for the highest break and the losing semi-finalists won 300 euros each.
The tournament took four days: the group stage was played on Wednesday and Thursday, the first two rounds of the knock-out stage on Friday and the semi-finals and the final on Saturday.
