[thedartingnerd]

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MIX IT WITH THE PROS!

ANYONE CAN ENTER... ONLINE ENTRIES OPEN NOW!

The UK Open Darts Qualifiers are back at Rileys! Once again players can begin their journey to glory in the FA Cup of Darts, at Rileys Sports Bars.

Rileys will be staging a series of knockout tournaments to produce the 32 Amateur Qualifiers for the 2017 tournament - meaning that YOU could qualify for this exciting championship, where play is held simultaneously across eight stages across the Butlins complex.

At the 2016 finals, Rileys Benfleet qualifier Barry Lynn famously progressed to the quarter-finals, where he was eventually defeated by world number one and eventual winner Michael van Gerwen on the main stage at Minehead. Lynn defeated the then world champion Gary Anderson en route to the last eight.

Another notable triumph from Team Rileys included Rob Cross’ run to the last 32 before also succumbing to van Gerwen. In total, five Rileys qualifiers made it to round three. In 2017, it could be you!

Entry costs £6 per Qualifier - including a free drink voucher, or a £3 cashback voucher in Scotland - and players are permitted to compete in more than one of the knockouts.

Many venues will be hosting two events and both the London Victoria and Wolverhampton Rileys Sports Bars each providing two qualifiers from each of their two events.

Other Rileys Sports Bars to be hosting knockouts are listed below, with the Amateur Qualifiers to take place between 20th January and 11th February 2017.

If you fancy yourself as a giant killer, then enter today – either online or in club.

You could find yourself at the Final playing some of the best professional players from the PDC, and winning big cash prizes!

Good luck to you all.
