ENTRIES for the 2015 PDC Qualifying School are now available ahead of next year's event, which will be held at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan from January 14-17.
The PDC Qualifying School gives ANY darts player the chance to win a Tour Card to join the PDC's £7 million-plus circuit.
Play is held across four successive days in Wigan, with the last four players on each day winning an automatic Tour Card.
In addition, ranking points are awarded throughout Qualifying School, with further Tour Cards allocated to players based on their position on the Q School Order of Merit.
Players who do not win a Tour Card become PDPA Associate Members, entitling them to play on the PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour in 2015, as well as in UK Open Qualifiers and, if space within the 128-player limit allows in Players Championship events, with places allocated in ranking order.
Entry for the 2015 PDC Qualifying School costs £250 and will be available through the PDC Online Entry System, through either of these two links:
- New Players who have never previously played in PDC events need to register via http://pdclive.servasport.com/register.html.
- Players who have previously played in PDC events will enter via http://pdclive.servasport.com/login.html using their existing login details. If you have forgotten your login details, please call 08712 501 180, do not attempt to re-register!
Entries will close at 2pm GMT on Monday January 12. Entry is open to ANY darts player aged 16 or above.
After a player has entered through the PDC Online Entry System, they will be emailed a PDPA Membership Pack which will need to be read, completed and returned in advance of Qualifying School.
