Patrick Tringler leads the European Q-School Order of Merit after the second day of play in Kalkar. The Austrian collected eight points during the first two days of play. This puts him slightly ahead of runner-up Ryuta Arihara (7 points) and Joerg Mitterlehner (6 points).

Behind them follow Jeroen Mioch, Jelle Klaasen, Jamai van den Herik, Jeffrey Bekema, John Michael, Jesus Noguera and Michael Unterbuchner, among others, on five points.

Jitse van der Wal, Michael Stoeten, Gilbert van der Meijden, Loek van den Berg, Jeffrey de Graaf and Davy Verkooijen are among the group with four points. Behind them, Tytus Kanik, Ben Robb, Ryan de Vreede and Nico Kurz, among others, are on three points.

Qualification for the finals is possible by reaching the last eight on one of the three playing days (Jan. 8-10). Should that fail, players must ensure that as many games as possible are won.

Each win in a full round (without byes) earns one point. Through the European Q-School Order of Merit of the first stage, 83 players advance to the final stage. Only during the final stage will the available PDC Tour Cards actually be distributed.
