All the info on 2023 PDC Q-School: How to get a PDC Tour Card and what can be done with it?

From January 9 to 15, the European and UK Q-School will be held. Divided between the two venues, 27 new PDC Tour Cards are ready for the 2023-24 PDC seasons.

The number of Tour Cards per venue has been determined based on the number of entries. Fourteen Tour Cards will be distributed at the European Q-School, while there's thirteen Tour Cards on offer at the UK Q-School.

The Return of the King as Corey Cadby aims to return to PDC Tour in 2023, enters European Q-School in January

Q-School divided into two phases

As in the past two years, the Q-School is divided into two phases. The first phase will take place from Jan. 9 through Jan. 11, followed by the final phase from Jan. 12 through Jan. 15.

Players who lost their PDC Tour Card last season or finished in the top eight on the Challenge Tour and Development Tour are immediately qualified for the final phase.

Other participants must start in the first stage. A spot for the final stage can be achieved by reaching the last four in Kalkar on one of the three playing days, or the last eight in Milton Keynes. Should that fail, players must make sure to win as many points as possible. Each win in a full round (without byes) earns one point. Through the Q-School Order of Merit of the first stage, players also advance to the final stage.

Tour Card distribution during final stage

The Tour Cards are only actually distributed during the final stage. Of the 27 available Tour Cards, eight are distributed immediately. On both the British and European Q-School, four days of play will be completed during the final phase. The eight direct cards will go to all daily winners at the tournaments.

The remaining 19 Tour Cards can be earned through the Q-School Order of Merit. At both events, points can be earned per win (not counting preliminaries), these go 10 for EU and 9 for UK due to entry numbers.

With several consistent results, players can still get a Tour Card this way, without having a daily win.

What can you do with a Tour Card?

Players in possession of a Tour Card can participate in the Pro Tour tournaments. In addition, you may participate in the qualifying tournaments for the Euro Tour events, the qualifiers for the Grand Slam of Darts and World Series of Darts Finals and the very last World Championship qualifying tournament.

Can you still play on the PDC circuit without a Tour Card?

Especially for players who have missed out on a Tour Card, the PDC Challenge Tour has been set up. That's 24 tournaments, each with a top prize of 2,500 pounds. Players can also participate in Associate Qualifiers for the Euro Tours and, in addition, there is a Development Tour for players under the age of 24.

2024 NEO.bet German Darts Grand Prix draw & schedule

Michael Smith will begin his defence of the NEO.bet German Darts Grand Prix against Cameron Menzies or Mike De Decker, with the draw and schedule for the Easter event confirmed.

Munich will play host to the second PDC European Tour event of 2024 over the Easter weekend, as 48 players battle it out for the £30,000 top prize from March 30-April 1.

This weekend’s action will see reigning champion Smith bidding to retain the title, with world number one Luke Humphries and Dutch superstar Michael van Gerwen among the other high-profile names in action.

Saturday’s first round - which will be broadcast through PDCTV , Viaplay and DAZN - will feature 16 matches across two sessions, as Germany's number one Gabriel Clemens takes on newly crowned UK Open champion Dimitri Van den Bergh in a headline tie.

Clemens' World Cup partner Martin Schindler will face Czech qualifier Vitezslav Sedlak, while Lukas Wenig will star on home soil against Ireland's former World Cup finalist Steve Lennon.

European Champion Peter Wright plays former Grand Slam winner Jose de Sousa, as five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld goes head-to-head with World Youth Championship runner-up Gian van Veen in an all-Dutch affair.

Former Masters champions Joe Cullen and Chris Dobey will also feature in Saturday's first round, with Cullen up against 2023 UK Open champion Andrew Gilding, while Dobey faces Sweden's Viktor Tingstrom.

Host Nation Qualifiers Michael Unterbuchner, Franz Roetzsch, Oliver Mueller and Matthias Ehlers will also be in first round action, with Unterbuchner pitted against World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall - a runner-up at this event in 2023.

The 16 seeded players will then enter the fray in Sunday’s second round, as Smith begins his title defence against Scottish star Menzies or in-form De Decker.

Top seed Dave Chisnall - a winner of three European Tour titles in 2023 - will face either Van den Bergh or Clemens, before Niels Zonneveld or Luke Woodhouse await Humphries, who lifted the title in 2022.

Third seed Gerwyn Price will play his Premier League rival Wright or De Sousa for a place in the last 16, while Australia's premier player Damon Heta has been handed a potential showdown against home hero Schindler.

Van Gerwen will also headline Sunday's action in Munich, and the world number two will open his bid for a fourth German Darts Grand Prix crown against his countryman Jeffrey de Zwaan or German hopeful Ehlers.

Van Gerwen's compatriot Dirk van Duijvenbode will kick off his campaign against Aspinall or Unterbuchner, with tenth seed Danny Noppert guaranteed a Dutch opponent in the shape of Van Barneveld or Van Veen.

James Wade and Daryl Gurney will battle it out for the right to play two-time European Champion Rob Cross, as Germany’s Ricardo Pietreczko prepares to take on either Ryan Joyce or Kevin Doets for a spot in Easter Monday's Finals Day.

Two-time World Champion Gary Anderson has withdrawn from the event due to an ongoing shoulder injury, and has been replaced by Luke Woodhouse from the Reserve List.

As a result, reigning Masters champion Stephen Bunting becomes the 16th seed, and his reward is a second round assignment against Roetzsch or Jermaine Wattimena.

Following Sunday’s second round, the last 16 will take place on Monday afternoon, before the tournament concludes with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in a bumper evening session.

Live coverage of all 2024 European Tour events will be streamed through Viaplay, and through DAZN for viewers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Coverage will also be shown on PDCTV (excluding Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and through bookmakers' worldwide.
