its going to be a 56 player, one week event, like Monte Carlo. Non mandatory. 

Date to be confirmed but February seems likely. Speculation that other parts of the tour will move around creating a Middle East swing (Doha, Dubai, Riyadh) and a Latin American swing, with the European indoor events in Marseille, Montpellier and Rotterdam pushed back. Also that the whole season will end one week earlier. Not sure where those European events will land - obviously October would make sense for indoors in Europe but not sure there is room to accommodate another 3 events including a 500 like Rotterdam; and that is a well supported event, so not sure theyd want to lose it?
