New professional players

James Wattana, Barry Pinches, Duncan Campbell, Stephen Murphy, Andrew Cairns, Nick Dyson, Brian Morgan, Brady Gollan, Nigel Bond and Ian Brumby became professionals. All had earnt the right to play off against the lowest-10 ranked existing professionals, through the pro-ticket series.
