1-AS A PDC TOUR CARD HOLDER, YOU ARE NOW IN THE UK OPEN FINALS.

These details will be announced when available, your position in the draw will be dependant on your OoM ranking on the cut-off date, and due to testing make sure you arrive the day prior to the event, but the full and final details will be confirmed shortly.

2-PDC PLAYERS CONTRACT.

This will be sent to you direct via email as soon as your Tour Card is won, and MUST be signed before you can play in any PDC event. So if you need to seek legal advice you need to get this done early.

This is for players who won a Tour Card at Q-School only, if you won a Tour Card via the DT / CT you need only pay the DRA Fee.
