KEN MOIR, Clinton Bridge and Bernie Smith are the first three of four DPNZ Qualifiers for the Auckland Darts Masters, presented by TAB and Burger King.
The trio have won through the opening three days of the DPNZ Qualifier at the Swanson Memorial RSA in Henderson, with the final player to win through Tuesday's fourth knockout to complete the field for the forthcoming PDC World Series of Darts event.
New Zealand's Moir, from Auckland, will make his first appearance in front of the TV cameras at the Trusts Arena on Friday night, after winning through Qualifier One on Saturday.
Moir overcame former Sydney Darts Masters qualifier Monty Tuhua in the last 16, whitewashed Cyndric Joyce in the quarter-finals and then defeated Casey Matthews before edging out Mark Cleaver - a qualifier for last year's event in Auckland - in a deciding leg in the final.
Australian left-hander Bridge - nicknamed "Tic" - won through Sunday's Qualifier Two to earn his third World Series of Darts appearance, having previously competed in the 2013 and 2015 Sydney Darts Masters.
Bridge also had to overcome Cleaver, in the quarter-finals, before defeating Mike Day in the semi-finals and Stuart Leach in the final, where a 6-3 scoreline secured his qualification.
Monday's Qualifier Three was won by New Zealand's experienced Bernie Smith, who will also be making his World Series of Darts debut in Friday's first round at the Trusts Arena.
Smith would condemn Leach to a defeat in the final for a second successive day with a 6-2 win, which followed his earlier defeats of Cleaver, Deon Toki, Mark Drew and Australia's Pat Orreal.
The final DPNZ Qualifier will take place on Tuesday. For results, see www.dartplayers.co.nz.
