The Qualifying events have been announced for the 2020 US Darts Masters & North American Darts Championship which is set to take place at Madison Square Garden between June 5-6.
Eight spots will be on offer for North American players alongside the PDC representatives which will now include World Championship history maker Fallon Sherrock
who will compete in the two events in New York.
Danny Lauby who has previously competed in both events is already in as well due to his victory in the CDC Continental Cup in October.
Four qualifying events will be held in March and May next year meaning we will have multiple names confirmed before June's event already. These will be two double headers ahead of CDC weekends in both Chicago and Toronto.
The leading player in the CDC in that point will also claim a spot; which then will leave it up to two places left in qualifiers on Thursday June 4 before the event. It represents the latest step between the PDC and CDC which will likely be welcomed.
