A total of 460 matches were scheduled for the weekend, with umpires (both qualified and in training) umpiring 42% of them. A total of 108 trophies were awarded, with $10,000 in Prize Money distributed to Open Winners, Runners-up and Semi-finalists. Winners of the WheelChair, Masters and Graded Events shared $2,520 in Prize Money.

Bernice is the first West Australian to win the title since 2010, when Leisha Cooper last won this event.
