The final PDC European Tour event of the year is set to take place in Prague from October 18-20, where top darts players will compete for glory in the Czech capital.
This year, there has been a change to the qualifying format for the European Tour events. The top 16 players from the PDC Order of Merit automatically qualify for each event. They will be joined by the top 16 non-qualified players from the ProTour Order of Merit at the entry deadline.
In each event, the top 16 players from the ProTour Order of Merit will be seeded for the draw, entering in the second round. The remaining 32 players will be drawn at random in the first round.
Invited players who are exempt to the last 32 and lose in their first match will not receive prize money credit on the Order of Merit, ProTour Order of Merit, or European Tour Order of Merit. However, they will still receive full prize money payment.
The 16 seeded players for the Czech Darts Open (ET13) have been announced, alongside the 16 pre-qualified players. The ET13 Tour Card Holder Qualifier is scheduled to take place at Milton Keynes’ Marshall Arena on Friday August 23.
Next week’s Tour Card Holder Qualifier will see ten players advance, while the 48-player fields on the European Tour will include four Host Nation Qualifiers, a Nordic & Baltic Qualifier, and an East Europe Qualifier.
The Czech Darts Open (ET13) will be held at PVA EXPO in Prague from October 18-20, 2024. The seeded players for the event are as follows:
1. Dave Chisnall
2. Ross Smith
3. Luke Humphries
