Open in a competition context usually means that all skills and ages can compete, so in a cubing context i would guess it means all skill levels welcome.

Edit:

UK Open used to be the name of the UK's national championship, 12 years ago. When cubing got larger though, the Championship started to have qualifying times - as do all championships nowadays. The point of this UK Open is to be similar to the older UK Opens - a big, open comp with prestige to it.

Not really, all levels are able to compete as long as they make the time limit, like in other countries.

Yes, the UK nationals have only been open in 3x3, 2x2, pyra and skewb for the past few years and even then you still need a comp average for those events
