Grand Slam of Darts Update

A total of 22 players have now qualified for the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts, with three events remaining for players to win a spot in the tournament.

The Grand Slam of Darts will take place from November 13-21 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, featuring 32 players from the PDC and BDO.

The majority of players qualify by reaching major finals over a two-year period building up to the Grand Slam, and are joined by a number of international qualifiers and previous Grand Slam and World Championship semi-finalists.

So far, 22 players have booked their spots at Wolverhampton, including three-time Grand Slam of Darts champion Phil Taylor, as well as former finalists Terry Jenkins and Scott Waites, the 2009 runner-up.

Wayne Jones was the most recent player to earn his place, having reached the final of the PartyPoker.net European Championship last weekend, alongside last month's PDC Unicorn Women's World Championship finalists, Stacy Bromberg and Tricia Wright.

The finalists from the World Grand Prix and Championship League Darts in October will also be invited to compete in Wolverhampton, alongside four players from the ITV Wildcard Qualifier, which will be held on Friday November 5 at the Barnsley Metrodome.

Any player can enter the ITV Wildcard Qualifier, with entry costing £25. Entry details will be confirmed shortly.

The finalists of the PDC Unicorn Under-21 World Championship will also be invited to play in Wolverhampton, with the event playing down to the last two in Barnsley on November 6.

Any remaining places in the tournament to complete the 32-player field will be allocated as follows:
Highest non-qualified player from PDC Order of Merit (at October 25)
Highest non-qualified player from Players Championship Order of Merit (at October 25)
Highest non-qualified player from European Order of Merit (at October 25)
Highest non-qualified player from North American Order of Merit (at October 25)
