A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.[3]

Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 26 July automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 2 August), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 28 August), as Gibraltar has no players on the Order of Merit, four places will come from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 13 October), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 30 July), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 26 June).

Two additional places were made available in the Host Nation Qualifier following the withdrawals of Tour Card Qualifier Krzysztof Kciuk and East European Qualifier Karel Sedláček.[4] Gibraltarian qualifier Justin Hewitt withdrew after the draw through illness, giving his first round opponent a first round bye.
