THE first UK-based Players Championships of 2011 will be held at the Moorways Centre in Derby this weekend, as 128 players battle for £70,000 prize money on February 19 and 20.
Two £35,000 Players Championships will be held in Derby, which will feature both Tour Card holders and players from the Qualifying School Order of Merit, who make up the field to 128 players.
Mervyn King and Ronnie Baxter will be hoping to continue their successful starts to the year on the PDC ProTour, having won the two Players Championships held in Halle, Germany last month.
PDC Unicorn Women's World Champion Stacy Bromberg will make her first UK-based PDC ProTour appearance after winning a Tour Card last year, although Tricia Wright is sidelined as she recovers from a shoulder operation.
The event will begin at 12pm, and all games will be the best of 11 legs. Players must register at the event before 11am, when the draw is conducted.
