TEENAGER Max Hopp was amongst the Home Nations Qualifiers for the European Darts Trophy on Friday night.
The young prospect was one of five German players, alongside Michael Kiebel, Tomas Seyler, Jyhan Artut and debutant Mario Gaisbauer, to win a place in this weekend's European Tour event at the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen.
Kiebel will take on number 12 seed Peter Wright, Seyler faces McCoy's Premier League Dart star Wes Newton and Gaisbauer meets Kevin Painter, while Artut will meet Nick Fullwell as he replaces James Wade.
Hopp will face European Qualifier Dragutin Horvath in the first round, with the Croatian replacing Simon Whitlock in the draw as the ninth of the European Qualifiers - with their match being the first game of the evening session, rather than the final game as previously planned, with the 16-year-old not allowed in the venue after 10pm due to German law
Ronny Huybrechts - the brother of Kim - qualified to face Paul Nicholson, while fellow Belgians Kurt Van De Rijck and Davyd Venken will play Darren Webster and Colin Lloyd respectively.
Number two seed Michael van Gerwen will face Dutch qualifier Leo Hendriks, while Co Stompe's qualification earned him a clash with Justin Pipe.
Austria's Mensur Suljovic now meets Scott Rand, Leon De Geus faces Mervyn Kin and Magnus Caris plays Andy Smith.
