The 2009 United Kingdom Championship took place at the May Fair Hotel in London on May 26, 2009. John Broomfield was the victor. Three one-hour preliminary rounds were held, followed by a final round. The speed die was used with $1500 starting cash.
To determine who would compete at the national championship, regionals were held in Bournemouth (Sep 4, 2008), Birmingham (Aug 16, 2008), Skegness (Oct 28, 2008), and Blackpool (Oct 30, 2008). The four players at each regional with the highest scores were invited to particpate. 2004 Champion Adrian Prince was given an automatic entry to the 2009 championship, as well as a few additional players who were invited to participate by Hasbro (see below).
