See the draw for PDC West Europe World Championship Qualifier right here!

Saturday at 10:00 am local time, the PDC West Europe World Championship Qualifier gets underway in Kalkar. At this tournament, one qualifying spot for the World Darts Championship at the Alexandra Palace can be earned.

The event is open to players from Andorra, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Italy, Monaco, the Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Spain and Switzerland, but in reality, only Dutchmen, Belgians, Germans and a few players from Switzerland have registered. PDC players who have had a PDC Tour Card for more than two years are not eligible to play in the qualifying tournament. That is why Vincent van der Voort and Jose de Sousa are missing from the list of participants.

Among the participants are fifty Dutchmen. Among others, Berry van Peer, Jurjen van der Velde, Jimmy van Schie, Danny van Trijp, Gino Vos, Jeffrey Sparidaans, Jeffrey de Zwaan, Maik Kuivenhoven, Ron Meulenkamp, Martijn Kleermaker, Jelle Klaasen, Danny Jansen, Jerry Hendriks, Jarno Bottenberg, Moreno Blom, Owen Roelofs and Jitse van der Wal are competing for World Championship qualification.

There are also 14 Belgian players on the list of participants. Andy Baetens, Robbie Knops, Ronny Huybrechts, Brian Ramen and Mario Vandenbogaerde are among the Belgian participants.

The annual qualifying tournament almost always produces a Dutch or Belgian winner. Last year was a rare exception, when Thibault Tricole ran away with the World Championship ticket. In 2012, the qualifying tournament had a Spanish winner when Carlos Rodriguez won the qualifier.
