The seeded players have started their campaigns at Players Championship 22 with early wins for Gerwyn Price, Luke Humphries and Michael Smith among others.
Price saw off Alan Soutar 6-4 with a 96 average, while Smith eased past Adam Gawlas 6-1 with a 98 average. It was the same scoreline for Humphries as he averaged just under 100 in seeing off Glen Durrant.
While there were also wins for Rob Cross, Joe Cullen, Jose de Sousa, Nathan Aspinall and Danny Noppert. But for Peter Wright and Dirk van Duijvenbode, they are the main seeds so far to fall.
Wright averaged 107 but lost to in-form ace Dave Pallett who won a Challenge Tour and WDF title recently as he looks to return to the PDC and averaged 102 in taking out the World Number Two.
While for Van Duijvenbode, it was a 103 average but he lost 6-5 to Stephen Burton as the first round continues in Barnsley.
