Kevin Painter edged out Michael Mansell 6-5 before defeating John Bowles to qualify, while Ronnie Baxter was pushed hard by both James Hubbard and Jason Lovett.
Dean Winstanley's strong form this year continued as he whitewashed Kirk Shepherd and then defeated Ireland's Connie Finnan, with Darren Webster also in strong form as he whitewashed Adam Hunt in his decider.
Scotland's Gary Stone knocked out Paul Nicholson 6-3 in their decider, and another 2014 Tour Card winner, Gerwyn Price, defeated Jim Walker and Andrew Gilding to qualify.
Colin Lloyd edged past Ricky Evans and Tony Newell in two 11-leg battles as he qualified, with Jay Foreman also going the full distance in his wins over Stuart Kellett and Shaun Griffiths.
Swindon duo Dennis Smith and Johnny Haines won through to compete in Dusseldorf, while Mark Dudbridge knocked out Australian star Kyle Anderson, Darren Johnson swept past Mark Walsh and Ross Smith, William O'Connor defeated Steve Brown and Matthew Dennant and Andy Smith defeated Campbell Jackson and Pete Dyos to qualify.
