Wade, Bunting, Gurney and Waites among qualifiers for German Darts Championship

James Wade, Stephen Bunting, Daryl Gurney and Scott Waites can start preparing for participation in the German Darts Championship. They were among the 24 players who managed to get through the Tour Card qualifying tournament on Wednesday.

Wade dealt smoothly with Richie Burnett (6-3) in his final encounter to qualify. Bunting saw off Kevin Burness (6-3), while Gurney was too strong for Rowby-John Rodriguez (6-4) and Waites defeated John O'Shea (6-3).

In addition, Alan Soutar, Chris Dobey, Jeff Smith, Vincent van der Voort and Gian van Veen among others, also managed to qualify for the German Darts Championship.

Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith are automatically invited to the German Darts Championship because they are in the top-16 of the Pro Tour rankings. Big names such as Dave Chisnall, Luke Humphries, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Jonny Clayton, Peter Wright, Danny Noppert and Nathan Aspinall are also in attendance.
