A note on the entry list
The PPA Asia 125 series excludes players ranked inside the top 20 of the PPA Rankings, so the field here is not the main-tour field. Some names in this draw are shared with better-known players on the main PPA Tour Asia calendar, and the ratings recorded against them on the bracket differ, so they should not be read as the same people.
