Important North American Pro Tour Notes:
PDC US Open
Non PDPA (Professional Darts Players Association) members may enter the
PDC US Open main event directly or enter the PDC US Open Friday Night Madness Qualifier, but not both.
Las Vegas Desert Classic / PDPA Player’s Championship
Non PDPA members residing in North America may enter both the PDPA
Player's Championship and the Las Vegas Desert Classic VI for $250, for a savings of $20.
All PDC North American Pro Tour Events
Non PDPA members who reside in North America are invited to participate.
Non PDPA members residing outside of North America may not participate in North American Pro Tour events.
"When must a non PDPA member become a member before he/she may
continue competing in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) dart tournament events?" The answer is simply this: After the non PDPA member has played
on stage in his/her first televised tournament, and before he/she plays in their second televised tournament. A televised tournament is one where all
matches are played on stage and filmed for television. The Las Vegas Desert Classic (LVDC) is the only tournament in North America that meets this
qualification at this time. Simply entering the LVDC does not mean the player has played in a televised tournament either. That player must reach
the final 32 before televised, stage matches become a factor. The qualifiers, themselves, do not count as having played in a televised tournament.
Additionally, the PDPA Championship in Las Vegas, and the Atlanta, Chicago, and US Open Pro Tour events are not considered televised
tournaments, and are —thereby— not relevant for the purposes of determining who must join the PDPA. In other words, playing in them does
not require PDPA membership prior to competing in them.
The five 2007 North American PDC Pro Tour Events will comprise a PDC
North American Order of Merit Ranking. The two Canadians and two Americans who rank highest on the PDC North American Order of Merit
Ranking after the Windy City Open Pro Tour 501 Singles Event will be invited to participate in the 2008 PDC World Championship.
Where applicable, entry deadlines apply only to the PDC Pro Tour 501
Singles Events. All other events at these tournaments are ‘enter on the day’ events. See tournament ads for more details.
All funds indicated in this ad are shown in approximate US Dollars. Actual
prize money at these events are based on £ pounds sterling and are specified on the tournament fliers.
