A TOTAL of 11 players, led by Corey Cadby, Stephen Bunting, Jermaine Wattimena, Chris Dobey and Justin Pipe, enjoyed a double qualification success in Friday's European Tour UK Qualifiers.
Places in this month's inaugural Czech Darts Open and the forthcoming Austrian Darts Championship were on offer for players in the qualifiers at Wigan's Robin Park Tennis Centre.
Australian star Cadby, the former World Youth Champion and 2018 UK Open finalist, will make his European Tour debut in the Czech Darts Open, and also secured a spot in Vienna in August.
Last weekend's Danish Darts Open finalist Chris Dobey was another player to enjoy a double qualification success, alongside World Cup finalsit William O'Connor, former European Tour event winner Justin Pipe and former World Youth Champion Keegan Brown.
Stephen Bunting, Ted Evetts, Jamie Hughes and Brendan Dolan also won through to compete in both events.
The European Tour Card Holder's Qualifiers saw both Wattimena and Austrian ace Rowby-John Rodriguez enjoy double success to begin their weekend in Wigan in style.
Former European Tour winners Mervyn King and Robert Thornton were amongst the Czech Darts Open qualifiers, alongside three-time Lakeside Champion Glen Durrant, John Henderson, Andrew Gilding, Steve West, Devon Petersen, Kevin Garcia and William Borland.
The European Tour Card Holders who joined Wattimena and Rodriguez included Madars Razma, the Latvian ace who landed a nine-dart finish during his decider against Cristo Reyes.
Krzysztof Ratajski, Danny Noppert and Ron Meulenkamp also secured places in next weekend's event in Prague.
Mark Webster and James Wilson secured qualification for the Austrian Darts Championship with whitewash wins, while Gavin Carlin, Kirk Shepherd, Ross Smith, Cameron Menzies, Josh Payne and Luke Humphries also won spots in Vienna.
Ratajski was denied a qualification double by Dimitri Van den Bergh as the World Youth Champion booked his spot in the Austrian Darts Championship.
Former Austrian Darts Open winner Vincent van der Voort, World Matchplay semi-finalist Jeffrey de Zwaan and Christian Bunse were the other players to qualify for the Vienna event, which takes place from August 30-September 2.
