Nearly 400 players will attempt to earn a PDC Tour Card at the UK
Q-School in Milton Keynes. The number of entrants is down from 2023, when the number of entries was just over 400 names.
As in the past two years, the Q-School is divided into two phases. The first phase will take place from Jan. 8 through Jan. 10, followed by the final phase from Jan. 11 through Jan. 14.
Players who lost their PDC Tour Card last season or finished in the top eight on the Challenge Tour and Development Tour are immediately qualified for the final stage.
The remaining participants must start in the first stage. Placement for the final stage is possible by reaching the last eight in Milton Keynes on one of the three playing days. Should that fail, players must make sure to win as many pots as possible. Each win in a full round (without byes) earns one point. Through the Q-School Order of Merit of the first stage, players also advance to the final stage.
Tour Card distribution during final stage
During the final stage, Tour Cards are actually distributed. Of the 30 available Tour Cards, eight will be distributed immediately. At both the British and European Q-School, four days of play will be completed during the final phase. The eight direct cards go to all daily winners at the tournaments.
The remaining 22 Tour Cards can be earned through the Q-School Order of Merit. At both events, points can be earned per win (not counting preliminaries, ed.).
With multiple consistent results, this way players can still get a Tour Card without achieving daily success.
