Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.[5]
Qualification and format
In a change from the previous year, the top 16 on the two-year main PDC Order of Merit ranking were now seeded and entered the tournament in the second round, while the 16 qualifiers from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit ranking entered in the first round.[6][7][8]
In another change, the 16 Pro Tour Order of Merit qualifiers will be drawn against one of the 16 other qualifiers in the first round.
The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 May),[10] four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 22 May),[11] one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 9 May),[12] and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 15 February).[13]
