Qualification

[2] [3]

The tournament will feature 64 players. The top 46 players in the PDC Development Tour Order of Merit automatically qualify for the tournament, with the top eight players being seeded. They were originally joined by 17 international qualifiers, but the Gibraltar qualifier Clayton Otton withdrew. Participation would also be possible for any age-qualified players from the top 32 of the main PDC Order of Merit, but the eligible player Benito van de Pas turned down his place, so the remaining two qualifying places were granted to the Junior Darts Corporation's European Champion, Jim Moston, and their number one ranked player, John Brown.

Should an international qualifier also be ranked high enough in the Development Tour Order of Merit to qualify, further places would be allocated from the Development Tour Order of Merit.

The participants are:
