208 participants entered the men's event held from 8 to 11 May.[6] Mike Massey, the 72-year-old World Trickshot Champion competed at his first Euro Tour event.[7] Massey lost both of his games to Bruno Ernst and Juan Antonio Pina-Hidalgo.[7] Albin Ouschan lost his initial match 9–4 against Casper Matikainen.

In the single-elimination round, six-time winner Mark Gray defeated Sebastian Staab 9–8 in the last-32 stage.[9] Gray led 4–2, but Staab won four consecutive racks to lead 6–4.[9] The pair shared the next four racks with Staab leading 8–6.[9][10] Gray won the next three racks to win the match. Post-match, Gray commented he was mystified as to how he won the game.[9] Francisco Sánchez Ruíz and Mario He also finished on a deciding rack. Sánchez Ruíz won the match, despite not leading before that point.[11]

Polish player Konrad Juszczyszyn reached his second Tour final, defeating Alexander Kazakis, Casper Matikainen, and Pijus Labutis.[8] His opponent was Ivar Saris, who was playing in his first Euro Tour final, after defeating David Alcaide, Ruslan Chinachov, and Mateusz Śniegocki.[8] Neither player had won a Tour event prior.[12] The final was played, and had an increased number of jump shots, with Juszczyszyn leading throughout.[12][13] He led at 4–3 and 6–4 before Saris won the next two to tie the match at 6–6. Juszczyszyn won the next three racks to win his first Euro Tour event 9–6.[12][13][14]

A total of 44 participants played in the women's event between 9 and 11 May.[15][16] This was the first event of the 2019 season for the women, as the Leende Open had no women's division.[15] Number one ranked Kristina Tkach defeated Sara Rocha 7–2 and Veronika Ivanovskaia to progress to the single-elimination round.[17][18][19] Second ranked Jasmin Ouschan had to win two deciding racks to progress, after defeating both Kristina Jaeger and Veronika Hubrtová 7–6. Euro Tour third ranked player Marharyta Fefilava completed a whitewash of Nathalie Seichter, before a 7–4 win over Poland's Iza Lacka.[18][19] Ana Gradišnik played Turkey's Eylul Kibaroglu in the qualification round. Kibaroglu led 6–3, and had two balls to pot to win the match.[18] She accidentally snookered herself behind the 9-ball. Gradišnik took advantage and won the following four racks to claim a victory and progress to the single-elimination rounds.[18]

In the last-16 stage, Ouschan lost to Ivanovskaia 7–4, resulting in Tkach being guaranteed to remain as the highest ranked player after the event.[19][20] The 2018 runner-up Oliwia Czuprynska also lost at this stage, being defeated by Natalia Seroshtan 7–4.[19] The semi-final lineup was made up of Tkach, Gradišnik, Fefilava and Kateryna Polovinchuk.[19] The first semi-final had Gradišnik leading 6–5 over Tkach; she made errors in both the 12th and 13th racks to allow Tkach to win 6–7.[20] Fefilava defeated Polovinchuk 7–1.[19] The final was contested between the first and third ranked players on the Tour, with Tkach taking an early 5–1 lead. Fefilava took four of the next five racks to trail at 6–5, before Tkach won the next rack to retain the championship.[21]
