The competition was organised over six groups. Five groups of three players each and one group of four players for a total of nineteen players involved.
Due to the recent festivities almost all Table Football events had a small break. This was clearly visible in some players who are still out of their form and some disappointments also took place. The major surprise of the day was Joe Zammit Pavia who managed an unusual group qualification to the next round. However he was immediately sent on the bench after he lost to Mario Camilleri at Barrage stage.
Massimo Cremona, on his way, freshly crowned with the Gold memento by the Malta Olympic Committee did not miss the expectancy and managed to reach the final after some great performances. Mark Gauci had the best of the day. After a bad start by loosing to Kenneth Attard at group stage, he won the following game and obtained the second place in the group. During the barrage he played against Charles Aquilina, 2006 Knock Out finalist, after which he then managed to reach the final.
In the final Gauci met
The U/19 Category was won by Mauro Camilleri beating 4-2 Andrew Abela in the final.
