Ted Evetts, Kai Gotthardt and David Cameron were among the latest 16 players to progress to the Final Stage of PDC Qualifying Schools on Tuesday.
Day Two of the 2025 PDC Qualifying Schools saw First Stage continue in Milton Keynes and Kalkar, as a field of over 800 players compete across the week for the chance to secure two-year PDC Tour Cards.
First Stage, taking place from January 6-8, sees players from across the globe attempting to qualify to compete in the Final Stage, where a total of 29 PDC Tour Cards will be on offer from January 9-12.
Former World Youth Champion Evetts was among the eight players to automatically qualify for Final Stage on Day Two at UK Qualifying School, conceding just seven legs in his five matches.
The 27-year-old dispatched Jim McEwan in the pair's last 16 shoot-out, having averaged 98 in an earlier win over Kevin Lane.
Former Tour Card Holder John O’Shea was another high-profile name to progress to Final Stage, courtesy of his 5-3 victory against Fallon Sherrock in the last 16.
O’Shea won through alongside his compatriot Michael Flynn, while Scottish duo Nathan Girvan and Scott Campbell advanced with Jamie Atkins, Jim Moston and Kelvin O’Keefe.
Reigning PDC Europe Super League champion Gotthardt was one of three Germans to secure their automatic qualification at European Qualifying School, courtesy of a trio of deciding-leg victories in Kalkar.
Gotthardt - who reached the second round at the recent World Darts Championship - advanced with his countrymen Jannis Barkhausen and Patrick Klingelhoefer, with Dutch duo Stefan Schroder and Ricardo Ulrich also making the last eight.
Canadian veteran Cameron will also feature in Final Stage in Wunderland, with Switzerland's former World Cup star Marco Walpen and emerging Swede Viktor Tingstrom completing the list of eight automatic qualifiers.
First Stage of UK and European Qualifying Schools will conclude on Wednesday, where a further 16 players will automatically progress to Final Stage.
The remaining places will be allocated to players from a First Stage Order of Merit in each region, with one ranking point awarded per match from the first full round onwards.
