The eyes of the darting world will descend on the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes and the H+ Hotel in Niedernhausen as players from across the globe bid to win PDC Tour Cards for 2022\/23.<\/p>\n
Qualifying School will again feature concurrent events being staged in the UK and Germany, and is split into First Stage and Final Stage.<\/p>\n
A total of 32 players are exempt to Final Stage in the UK and 19 players are exempt to Final Stage in Europe, based on the players who lost their Tour Card at the end of 2021 and the top eight players from each of the respective 2021 UK and European Challenge and Development Tour Orders of Merit.<\/p>\n
First Stage, being held from January 9-11, will see further players up to a total of 128 in the UK and Europe respectively qualifying to compete in Final Stage.<\/p>\n
Eight players per day will progress from First Stage, with all further places going to players from a First Stage Order of Merit in each region, with one ranking point awarded per match from the first full round onwards.<\/p>\n
Due to regulations in Germany, First Stage will be played as two groups per day to reduce the number of active players inside the venue at any time, meaning that four players from each group will progress to Final Stage.<\/p>\n
A total of 32 PDC Tour Cards will be on offer in Final Stage from January 12-15, with each of the daily winners in the UK and Europe receiving an automatic Tour Card.<\/p>\n
The remaining 24 Tour Cards will be allocated to players from the UK and European Q School Final Stage Orders of Merit, and split on a pro-rata basis of total participants in each region.<\/p>\n
Any ties in the respective Q School Orders of Merit will be split as follows based on all match results: Leg Difference, Legs Won, then DartConnect average. If players still cannot be split, a play-off would be organised.<\/p>\n
The UK Qualifying School First Stage will feature former World Champion John Part and Robert Thornton, a former UK Open and World Grand Prix winner.<\/p>\n
Ben Robb, Danny Lauby, Nitin Kumar and Diogo Portela are amongst the recent World Championship competitors in action, alongside JDC Junior World Championship finalist Leighton Bennett as the talented teenager steps onto the senior circuit.<\/p>\n
Fallon Sherrock headlines the female stars in action in First Stage, alongside Deta Hedman, Trina Gulliver MBE and Corinne Hammond, with Lisa Ashton entering in Final Stage after losing her Tour Card at the end of last year.<\/p>\n
World Youth Champion Ted Evetts, former Grand Slam of Darts winner Scott Waites, 2012 World Championship finalist Andy Hamilton and World Youth Championship runner-up Nathan Rafferty also enter at Final Stage.<\/p>\n
Three-time PDC ranking event winner Jelle Klaasen headlines the competitors in the European Qualifying School, as the Dutchman bids to win back his PDC Tour Card.<\/p>\n
German teenager Fabian Schmutzler is also in action after starring on the Development Tour in 2021, while Austria’s Rowby-John Rodriguez, Spain’s Cristo Reyes and Toni Alcinas are also in the Final Stage field.<\/p>\n
First Stage in Niedernhausen will feature the likes of recent World Championship qualifier Chris Landman, and his fellow Dutchmen Benito van de Pas, Christian Kist and Jerry Hendriks, as well as Belgium’s Ronny Huybrechts.<\/p>\n
Roxy-James Rodriguez – the eldest of the Austrian darting brothers – will be bidding to join Rowby-John in Final Stage as they seek to join 2021 European Development Tour champion Rusty-Jake on the PDC ProTour this year.<\/p>\n
Five-time ranking event winner Justin Pipe will not be competing in Qualifying School as he continues his recovery from an arm injury, after losing his Tour Card at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kirk Shepherd and Robert Marijanovic have relinquished their PDC Tour Card following Year One, meaning that two further places were allocated to Qualifying School.<\/p>\n
All competing players will be sent a Players’ Brief by email to the address used for their entry, and must read this to familiarise themselves with all event information ahead of Qualifying School.<\/p>\n
