JOHN MICHAEL, Aleksandr Oreshkin and Alex Tagarao have won places in the William Hill World Darts Championship following their victories in the Southern Europe, Russian and Philippines qualifiers last weekend.
Greek ace Michael won through from a field of 229 players, including hopefuls from Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Italy, as he secured a place at Alexandra Palace for a second successive year.
The former European Championship qualifier defeated Spain's Antonio Alcinas 6-4 in the final, and saw off former Ally Pally qualifier Julio Barbero in the semi-finals.
Michael enjoyed a preliminary round victory over Finland's Jani Haavisto at Alexandra Palace in this year's event, before losing to Ian White 3-1 in the first round.
Oreshkin, a two-time finalist in the EADC events in Russia this year, won through to represent his country with his televised debut in the World Championship in December.
The Russian qualifier, which included leading female star Anastasia Dobromyslova and last year's winner Boris Koltsov, saw Oreshkin defeat Anton Kolesov 3-1 in sets in the final.
Tagarao, from Cagayan de Oro, won through the final stages of the annual Philippines' qualifier as he edged out Lourence Ilagan 3-2 in his final.
Tagarao also overcame another former World Championship qualifier, Juanito Gionson, in a five-set semi-final following earlier wins over D.A. Doctolero, Elmer Maranan and Prussian Arsenio in the last 32.
Further International Qualifiers will be held throughout November ahead of the William Hill World Darts Championship, which will be held from December 17-January 3 at Alexandra Palace in London.
Should Nathan Aspinall win the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship final on November 29, he would receive a place in the preliminary round, with the winner of the 2015 Oceanic Masters also then participating into the preliminary round to make 18 players.
Should Max Hopp (who has qualified for the World Championship through the ProTour Order of Merit) win the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship final, no further place would be awarded to the runner-up, and the Oceanic Masters winner would retain a first round place at Alexandra Palace.
