THE dates and venues for the 32 Rileys Qualifiers, which will be held during February to produce amateur qualifiers for the Coral UK Open, have been confirmed.
The Rileys Amateur Qualifiers will see one player from each of 32 individual knockouts win through to compete in front of the ITV4 cameras at the Butlins Minehead Resort from March 7-9 in the Coral UK Open Televised Finals.
The events, open to any amateur players and costing £5 to enter, will be held during February at 29 Rileys Sports Bars in England, Scotland and Wales, with three venues - Derby, Wolverhampton and London Victoria - each hosting two Qualifiers.
Each knockout's winner will progress to play in the UK Open in March, while players who lose in a qualifier will be allowed to enter for subsequent events should they wish.
The 32 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers will join the top 96 professionals (plus ties) following the six UK Open Qualifiers to be held for PDPA Members during February in progressing to play in the Televised Finals, where a £250,000 prize fund is on offer.
