Among those involved include the likes of Raymond van Barneveld aiming to make a final Grand Slam in his last competitive year. Steve Beaton, Chris Dobey, Max Hopp and Jermaine Wattimena are also part of the line-up.
Ian White currently is but will know when the weekend ends whether he has to play or not or whether he will have to take part.
Mensur Suljovic, Robert Marijanovic, Corey Cadby, Mervyn King and Christian Kist are also not involved. The former in particular like White has already secured pre qualification and will hope that will be enough to see him compete at the Aldersley Leisure Village.
Eight players will move through from the Tour Card Holders and will make up the remaining line-up for the event.
