With the
European Tour season starting at the end of February, the attention has turned this weekend before the ProTour to qualifiers which are currently ongoing for
German Darts Championship (ET2) and
German Darts Grand Prix (ET3).
Seeded players have been confirmed for those events with ET1 taking into account the previous line-up for the final cancelled event from 2021 on the European Tour.
These players have been confirmed off the basis of the ProTour Order of Merit with Gerwyn Price leading the way. This is followed by Jose de Sousa, Michael Smith, Peter Wright, Jonny Clayton and Joe Cullen.
Michael van Gerwen is down in seventh, while many of the most consistent players in floor tournaments are also on the list such as Brendan Dolan, Ryan Searle, Damon Heta, Callan Rydz, Luke Humphries and Krzysztof Ratajski.
Also on the seeded list features Rob Cross, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Dimitri van den Bergh, with James Wade, Adrian Lewis, Raymond van Barneveld, Simon Whitlock, Daryl Gurney and Stephen Bunting having to head to today's qualifiers.
