Usually there is no darts on during this period in the run-up to the PDC World Darts Championship and after the Players Championship Finals but going forward, it will be the slot held by the WDF at Lakeside.
The 48 men and 24 women who have already qualified will be invited to play at the home of World Darts between 2-10 December, 2023 with the 2024 edition also already confirmed for 30th November - 8 December.
Seeding for the 2023 edition will be based on the Main Rankings as of 30th October 2023 with the draw set to take play in early November and with the implementation of a two year ranking system also announced, the 2024 field will be based off the 2023 and 2024 ranking tournaments.
The 2023 field will be the current qualifiers invited plus any replacements either due to the invite being declined or any players playing on the PDC Tour.
