The eleventh tournament of the CDC season was a triumph for Alex Spellman. For the American dart player it is his first title of the season, so he can still dream of participating in the World Darts Championship. Spellman did win three CDC titles last year, bringing his total to four.

The best American darter and best Canadian player on the CDC circuit will compete at the PDC World Darts Championship in December. The virtual spots are currently held by Leonard Gates and David Cameron.

Spellman grabbed the title at CDC Tour 11 by winning over Daniel Inman (5-2), Jack Robinson (5-0), Steve Warnock (6-0), Jacob Taylor (6-4), Adam Sevada (7-5) and Stowe Buntz (7-4) in succession.

With three CDC tournaments remaining, Gates is the top-ranked American player with 101 points. Behind him follow Stowe Buntz (82 points) and Alex Spellman (75). The winner of a CDC tournament receives eighteen points, meaning Buntz and Spellman still have a lot of catching up to do to qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship. Cameron holds the Canadian World Cup spot with 83 points. His biggest competitors are Jim Long (78 points) and Jacob Taylor (69 points).
