The Gordon Lewis sees a new "Matchplay" format introduced for 2025, this will alternate with the previous format each season and will be as follows:

Group Stages will comprise of 4 games of 100up in which all games are played, it will be 3 points for either a 4-0 or 3-1 victory and 1 point for a 2-2 draw, in the event of a tie then the frame scores decide the league position. The competition then splits into the main competition and the challenge cup as per normal.

The next rounds of the main competition will be the best of 5 frames (100up) including the Quarter Final, the Semi Final and Final will be the best of 7 frames (100up).

The Challenge Cup will be the best of 3 (100up) for all rounds except the final which may be best of 5 (100up)

It will be played using the "Official Matchplay Rules" which means there is no double baulking, meaning if when you come to the table after your opponents visit you can play behind the baulk line (except after the break off then standard rules apply), once your break has started you can no longer play behind the baulk line so its still possible to double baulk yourself in that instance.
