As with any World Series tournament, the field of participants consists of 16 players. In the first round, the eight PDC players will take on eight local darters.
Michael Smith, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross, Luke Humphries, Dimitri van den Bergh and Nathan Aspinall are the players who received a wildcard from the PDC. For Noppert it will be his first World Series tournament outside the Netherlands, after receiving invitations for several World Series tournaments in Amsterdam in the past.

The total prize pool for this tournament includes 60,000 pounds, in addition to the fact that regular PDC players will also receive additional compensation for their appearance at the tournament.

So on top of that comes the prize money, which starts at £1,250. This can eventually go up to a sum of £20,000 for the winner of the tournament.
In addition to prize money, there are also points to be earned for the World Series Order of Merit. Through this ranking, the top eight qualify for the World Series Finals later this year in Amsterdam.
World Series tournaments are PDC international events organized to promote the sport beyond its (Western) European borders.
