The Knockout 2024 Round 2 (the last 8 – the Quarter-Finals) player pairings have been drawn by tournament organiser Steve Dunleavy. The Preliminary Round whittled the field of players down to 16. Round 1 determined who goes through to the Quarter Finals: the last 8.

The results will be shown on the Knockout 2024 Page in due course, but will appear sooner on the appropriate LMS tournament page sooner, as the results will be used for player ECF rating via LMS.
