The six players above that won a qualifying tournament all finished in the Top 32 in the merit table and thus entered the main tournament at the third round stage.

The tournament featured 172 players. As in previous years, eight UK Open qualifiers were staged across the north of England, where players' winnings were collated into the UK Open Order of Merit. The top 32 players in the Order of Merit, who played a minimum of two events, received a place in the third round of the final tournament. In addition, the next 76 players in the Order of Merit qualified for the tournament, but needed to start in the earlier rounds played on the Thursday.[2] A further 64 players qualified via regional qualifying tournaments.

32 players qualified from Rileys qualifiers held in Rileys Dart Zones across Britain.[3]

32 players qualified from Speedy qualifiers held at four venues across Britain from 12 to 15 April.[4]
