How the players qualified and seedings

The 32-player field for the European Championship was finalised on Sunday following the International Darts Open, which was the fourth European Tour event in a shortened 2020 season.

Victory in Riesa for Cullen, as he picked up the second European Tour win of his career, means that he will be the top seed for the European Championship as the winner of the 2020 European Tour Order of Merit.

The Bradford ace will take on William O'Connor in Thursday's first round, with the Irish star - a former World Cup finalist - qualifying as 33rd on the European Tour Order of Merit, with Glen Durrant absent following his positive Covid-19 test last week.

Cross will be the 13th seed as he defends the title he claimed in 2019 while four-time European Champion Michael van Gerwen is the fifth seed having reached two of the four finals.

Gerwyn Price, who won the season-opening Belgian Darts Championship, was pipped to top seeding by Cullen and although he's in the opposite half of the draw to MVG, he could meet 15th seed Peter Wright in round two!
