The first stage of action begins on Sunday at PDC UK
Q-School with spots in the Final Stage up for grabs in Milton Keynes from January 9-15.
Compared to the European equivalent, the UK edition is only one First Stage with no groups and the last eight everyday will reach the Final Stage.
If that doesn't work, players have to make sure that as many points as possible are won. Each win in a full round (without byes) is worth a point.
Registration concludes everyday at 10am and the draw is made soon after. Among those aiming to make the final stage include
Fallon Sherrock,
John Part,
Robert Thornton,
Leighton Bennett, Ross Montgomery, Deta Hedman and Trina Gulliver MBE.
