The ranking tournament is expected to attract all the cream de la cream of Uganda's pool and defending champions Mansul Bwanika and Rashida Mutesi should expect stiff opposition.
"This is going to be a tough event since it's a ranking event we expect all top players in the male and female categories to participate," Peter Kyobe the association publicity noted.
