The draw has been released ahead of the round robin phase in the
World Youth Championship which starts off with the Last 96 later today with the final set to be confirmed at the end of proceedings.
This comes after the final Development Tour weekend of the season which saw
Keane Barry,
Berry van Peer and
Ryan Meikle finish as the top players with the former two claiming PDC Tour Cards.
All three are in action today hoping to make it to the World Youth final at the Players Championship Finals in November at a yet to be confirmed location behind closed doors.
Also the likes of Jeffrey de Zwaan,
Ted Evetts, Callan Rydz and
Geert Nentjes are among the seeds with one per board. They played a round robin before going through to the knockout phase where the field will get whittled down.
Last year's champion Luke Humphries is not involved due to him now being too old to play on both the Development Tour and World Youth qualifiers so there will be a new winner.
