Qualification and format

[edit]

The top 16 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit Archived 2012-12-05 at archive.today on 22 June automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.[3] The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Barnsley on 1 July), eight from the European Qualifier on 1 September and four from the Host Nation Qualifier on 1 September.

James Wade withdrew from the tournament the day before it began, so seeds 4-16 moved up one space each, and Daryl Gurney became the 16th seed, with an extra space being made for a Host Nation Qualifier.

Michael van Gerwen withdrew due to an ankle injury from the tournament the day it began, quickly followed by Daryl Gurney, who withdrew due to a broken finger in his dart throwing hand. Amazingly, the players they were due to play in round 2 (Ryan Meikle and Yordi Meeuwisse) received byes to play each other in round 3.

The following players took part in the tournament:
