THE DartPlayers Australia 2011 circuit will begin this weekend with a double-header at Revesby Workers Club.
The Australian Grand Prix circuit will be played across 17 weekends this year, with qualification for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship on offer for the AGP Order of Merit winner.
Left-hander Shane Tichowitsch represented Australia at the World Championship last month, and he will have four chances to compete in his home state of Queensland this year, with three weekends in Redcliffe and a further weekend being held at Robina on the Gold Coast.
Nine weekends will be staged in New South Wales, with Victoria and South Australia also staging AGP events.
