The
European Tour rolls into Mannheim for the
German Darts Grand Prix, the tenth event out of 12 for this year. Dave Chisnall will return to the Euro Tour after missing out in Holland but there is still no Gary Anderson and of course no Adrian Lewis, Phil Taylor or Raymond van Barneveld.
Of the UK Qualifiers, Robert Owen, Steve Beaton and Nathan Aspinall will be aiming to carry on their form from Maastricht while we get the returns to the Euro Tour of Keegan Brown, Andrew Gilding, Mickey Mansell, Mick McGowan and Jamie Caven to name a few.
Of the West/South Qualifiers, there was no real surprises with the strongest players on paper getting through with returns for Dirk van Duijvenbode, Zoran Lerchbacher, Vincent van der Voort, Jermaine Wattimena & Jan Dekker with a debut for Tony Martinez.
The Host Nation Qualifiers will be decided on Thursday with Krzysztof Ratajski as has been the case this season getting the Eastern European spot.
