The UK Open Qualifiers will once again take place at the Riley's Sports Bars across the country to find the best amateur players to take part in the Minehead tournament known to many as the FA Cup of Darts.
The qualifiers feature a mix of amateurs as well as some of the more established names from the past with the likes of Paul Hogan, Alex Roy qualifying usually with the likes of Lionel Sams and Chris Mason attempting them as well.
Hogan of course is probably the most well known recently due to his run at this year's tournament which included beating the likes of Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson in a run to the last 16 and also previously unearthed the talent that is Rob Cross who is lighting up the PDC tour in his first full year.
Next year's knockouts will be held from January 20 through to February 18, with 28 individual events being held which include four where two players will qualify.
Entry costs £7 per player per event, with the entry fee including a free drink. Entry can be made via www.rileys.co.uk/tournaments, or in person at the Rileys Sports Bars, with entries for each event closing at 5pm on the day before that specific knockout.
Players are permitted to enter more than one tournament. Players must be aged 16 or above to enter, and entry is not open to players who compete in the 2018 PDC Qualifying Schools. Full tourmament rules can be seen at www.rileys.co.uk/tournaments.
