The order by which seedings were determined is not known. However, it is thought likely that seeds 2 to 8 were ranked first on how far they reached, followed by their highest score in a preliminary game. Mark Nyman may have been "wildcarded" to number 1 seed, based on his overall performance, having won more games than any other player (10), and achieved the highest outright score (79), albeit in his quarter final rather than a preliminary game.
