THE draw for Saturday's Players Championship in Dinslaken, Germany.
The £20,000 tournament is the last before the qualifiers for the European Championship are determined, from the top eight non-qualified players in the Players Championship Order of Merit and the top four non-qualified players in the European Order of Merit.
Mark Dudbridge and Andy Smith will need good days if they are to jump back into the qualifying places, while Michael van Gerwen is also outside the qualifying spots.
Tony Eccles withdrew from the tournament on Thursday due to his elbow injury.
The tournament will begin at 12pm local time, and the format is the best of five sets, best of three legs per set throughout.
Note: On seven-man boards, the game involving the top seed will be played in the preliminary round but will be the third game in the board's order of play.
Update: Friday October 24
The following players have also withdrawn from the event: Roland Scholten, Wayne Atwood, Andreas Muller, Johannes Koch.
Selected games will be played on stage in the Stadthalle. The first five will be:
Qualifier Two v Jamie Caven
Tomas Seyler v Jacko Barry
Wayne Mardle v Ralf Schmelz/Chris Kotal
Peter Manley v Stephan Wusch
Alex Roy v Michael Rosenauer/Qualifier Five
