A field of 156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After 72 holes, the field will be cut to the leading 70 players and those players tied on the final qualifying place score who will then play two further rounds.

Each of these players will be eligible for membership of the EuropeanTour (category details to be confirmed) for the 2019 season and will be subject to any re-rank policy adopted by the Tournament Committee.

Players making the cut and finishing beyond 25th place will be eligible for membership of the EuropeanTour (category details to be confirmed) for the 2019 season. Players failing to make the cut will be eligible for membership of the European ChallengeTour for the 2019 season.
