On Saturday, PDC Tour Card holders will have the chance to qualify for the Hungarian Darts Trophy through a qualifying tournament. Ten spots are available here for the 11th Euro Tour tournament of the season.
As is known by now, the qualification system is different from last year. This season there are only ten starting spots to be distributed instead of 24. That is because in addition to the top-16 of the Pro Tour rankings, the top-16 of the world rankings are also automatically qualified for the Euro Tours.
As a result, 32 players are therefore already qualified for the Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest (Sept. 20-22). Among others, Michael van Gerwen, Dave Chisnall, Ross Smith, Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Josh Rock, Rob Cross, Luke Littler, Michael Smith, Peter Wright, James Wade, Dimitri van den Bergh and Nathan Aspinall don't need to qualify.
Andy Baetens, Steve Beaton, Mike de Decker, Jeffrey de Zwaan, Ricky Evans, Kim Huybrechts, Mervyn King, Jelle Klaasen, Cameron Menzies, Mensur Suljovic, Vincent van der Voort, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Simon Whitlock, among others, are competing in the qualifying tournament.
Most players have received byes, with the remaining Last 80 clashes to be set with the winners of the Last 160 games. 10 winners will join the field in Budapest.
