THE 2014 PDC Qualifying School has seen a record number of entries, with 360 players set to do battle for PDC Tour Cards from January 15-18 at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan.
The fourth staging of Qualifying School will see four days of action held, with each day seeing the last four players from an open draw win an automatic two-year Tour Card, giving them full professional status on the PDC ProTour.
In addition, further Tour Cards will be available to players from the Qualifying School Order of Merit, which sees ranking points awarded to players' finishing positions on each day of play.
All players who do not win a Tour Card will assume PDPA Associate Member status, guaranteeing them entry to all 16 PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour events to be staged in 2014, with each offering £10,000 in prize money to total £160,000 available on the PDC's new second-tier tour.
The field of stars who have entered the 2014 PDC Qualifying School includes Australian ace Kyle Anderson, who hit a nine-dart finish in the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship last month.
Other stars from the World Championship who will compete in Qualifying School include German teenager Max Hopp, Austria's Zoran Lerchbacher, English ace Ian Moss and Holland's Mareno Michels.
Former PDC major winners Peter Manley and Peter Evison are also bidding to win back their status on the circuit, alongside 2005 UK Open runner-up Barrie Bates.
Previous Tour Card Holders looking to win back their place on the PDC ProTour include Alan Tabern, Alex Roy, Matt Clark, Nigel Heydon, Adrian Gray, Mark Hylton, Antonio Alcinas, Richie Howson, Andrew Gilding, Brian Woods, Mark Lawrence and Terry Temple,
Former Lakeside Champion Christian Kist has also entered Qualifying School, and is joined in moving onto the PDC circuit by fellow Dutchmen Ron Meulenkamp and Benito van de Pas.
However, the field does not include Ted Hankey or Colin McGarry, who have both withdrawn following their previous entry, while Co Stompe, Ian Walters, Steve Coote and Edwin Max have resigned their Tour Cards for 2014, making an additional four Tour Cards available.
