Results from the first stage of the PDC Qualifying Schools from January 9-11, where over 850 players were vying for the chance to compete for a Tour Card.

Over 850 players were competing in the 2023 PDC Qualifying Schools at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes and the Wunderland in Kalkar from January 9-15, with 27 Tour Cards on offer for players to secure a spot on the PDC circuit.

Stage One (January 9-11)

Of the 850+ players who have entered Q School, only 128 at each venue will progress to the Final Stage from January 12-15.

However, a total of 24 players are already exempt to the Final Stage at UK Qualifying School, with 15 players exempt to the Final Stage of European Q School. This is based on the players who lost their Tour Card at the end of 2022, along with a series of stars from the 2022 Challenge and Development Tour Orders of Merit.

The last eight players standing at the end of each day will progress to the Final Stage, with all further places going to players from a First Stage Order of Merit in each region, with one ranking point awarded per match from the first full round onwards.

Any ties in the respective Q School Orders of Merit will be split as follows based on all match results: Leg Difference, Legs Won, then DartConnect average. If players still cannot be split, a play-off would be organised.
