Eight spots were up for grabs at the Grand Slam of Darts with the Qualifier opening proceedings up ahead of a week of action in Coventry and those have been confirmed.
They include Simon Whitlock, Krzysztof Ratajski and Dave Chisnall who all came through Last 16 ties to book their places.
Whitlock battled it out with Matthew Edgar but produced a stunning final leg on his throw to deny 'Prime Time' a return to the TV stage in a 5-3 win. Ricky Evans followed soon afterwards defeating Steve Beaton 5-2 to book his return to the Grand Slam for the first time since 2013.
Speaking of returns after a long time away, it has been seven years since Justin Pipe has played in this tournament but he booked his return with a 5-1 win over Ryan Searle.
Gabriel Clemens similar to Whitlock continued his form from the World Cup of Darts by defeating Rowby-John Rodriguez 5-0 with a 100.2 average.
From returns to debuts, Adam Hunt and Ryan Joyce will make their debuts with victories over Peter Jacques and Jason Lowe respectively.
While like alluded to Chisnall and Ratajski also made it through with the former taking out 100 in a deciding leg to see off Brendan Dolan 5-4, while it was a 5-2 success for 'The Polish Eagle' who was provisionally qualified but made sure of his place.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
