The event was a 9 rounds blitz tournament with time control 10 mins + 5 sec, with a hefty prize fund of 11 000 EUR, of which 2000 EUR for the winner.

A total of 229 players from 11 different countries participated in the main event – from Bosna and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Russia, and Ukraine. Parallel to the open tournament, there was a simultaneous exhibition, given by the V.I.P. guest – the former world chess champion Alexandra Kosteniuk.
