Darryl Fitton er blandt de over 600 dartspillere som fra den 18.-21. januar kæmper om ét af i alt 33 eftertragtede Tour Cards som sikrer deltagelse på PDC’s Pro-Tour de næste to år frem.
Modsat sidste år hvor der kun var 24 Tour Cards at spiller om, er der i år hele 33 af slagsen. Til gengæld er der tale om et rekord stort antal af tilmeldte spillere, hvilket ovenikøbet tegner til at blive den hårdeste Q-school til dato, hvoraf en lang række af BDO’s topprofiler i år jagter et skifte til PDC, alt imens også en gruppe af tidligere PDC-spillere håber på at lave et comeback.
Blandt de mest prominente navne af de tidligere BDO-spillere er blandt andre Daryl Fitton, Tony O’Shea, Jeff Smith, Martin Atkins, Cameron Menzies og Jamie Hughes, hvoraf de to sidstnævnte er henholdsvis nummer seks og fire på BDO’s rangliste. BDO kan dog trøste sig ved, at hverken Glen Durrant, Scott Mitchell eller Jim Williams deltager ved Q-school, hvilket der ellers havde været en lang række rygter om op til tilmeldingens deadline.
Blandt tidligere PDC-profiler som jagter comeback til det fine selskab er den tidligere verdensetter Colin Lloyd. Den dobbelte major-vinder bliver ledsaget af spillere som Wes Newton og Dean Winstanley, mens også den tidligere U21-verdensmester, James Hubbard, for tredje år i træk prøver lykken ved Q-school.
En anden tidligere U21-verdensmester som jagter er Tour Card er australske Corey Cadby, mens også tidligere Matchplay-vinder, Peter Evison, forsøger at gøre comeback.
Q-school er i år struktureret således, at alle Storbritanniens (plus Irland) og den øvrige verdens spillere er delt op for sig.
Blandt de mest prominente navne ved den europæiske Q-school er tidligere Lakeside-finalist Danny Noppert samt brasilianske Diogo Portela som i år deltog ved PDC’s VM. Blandt andre nævneværdige spillere er en lang række unge talenter såsom Kenny Neyens, Mike de Decker og Dawson Murschell, mens også Jeffrey de Zwaan håber at kunne vinde et Tour Card, efter at have mistet sit eget ved årsskiftet.
Også polske Krzysztof Ratajski gør sig et forsøg på den europæiske Q-school, ligesom en række skandinaviske profiler gør det samme, heriblandt finlands Kim Viljanen og Ulf Ceder, mens også svenske Dennis Nilsson håber at kunne kalde sig fuldgyldigt PDC-medlem efter den 21. januar. Ingen danske spillere har i år tilmeldt sig PDC’s Q-school.
Den komplette liste over spillere som er tilmeldt Q-school kan ses her nedenfor.
