The tournament started in 2011 and was staged at the Capital Venue[2] in Gloucester, England. Mark Allen was the last champion.

The tournament was named in memory of Capital Venue owner Paul Mount's late sister, who had died of breast cancer. The players wore pink shirts to raise awareness of the disease.[3] The Pink Ribbon tournament was also held at the venue under a similar premise.
