The draw for the last 16 was made on the evening of 1 September 2011 at the Guildford Spectrum during the Premier League. The draw for quarter-finals and semi-finals were made on a random basis. All matches were best of 3 frames. Matches were played on a roll on/roll off basis. Play started at the allocated time each day with a 15-minute interval between matches, except the final after a 20-minute interval. The evening session didn't start before the time indicated on the format. All frames were subjected to a 30-second shot clock after ten minutes of play and the miss rule was altered so "ball-in-hand" anywhere on the table was awarded after the third miss. All times are GMT.
These matches took place on 10 October 2011 at the South West Snooker Academy, Gloucester, England. There was only one century break during the qualifying. Tony Chappel made a 101 break against David Taylor.
