Players across Asia will have a chance to qualify for the William Hill World Darts Championship in four knockouts to be held later in November.
In recent years, four players have qualified to compete in the World Championship from the PDC Asian Tour, which has been unable to take place in 2020 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Those four places will now be taken by qualifiers to come from events to be staged in China, Philippines, Japan and Hong Kong later in November.
The PDC Asia China Qualifier will be held on Sunday November 22 at the Cuesoul Darts Club in Xiamen City.
The following weekend will see the event in the Philippines held on Saturday November 28 in Tacloban City, subject to local government approval, with events on Sunday November 29 being held in Japan at the Darts Stadium Ikebukuro in Tokyo and in Hong Kong at the Regal Oriental Hotel in Kowloon.
