ANTONIO ALCINAS and Bernd Roith will make their televised debuts in the PartyPoker.net European Championship next month as two of the eight European Order of Merit qualifiers for the tournament.
The double-header of Players Championships held in Haarlem over the weekend were the last of eight events staged on the continent this year which count for qualification to the European Championship.
Spanish newcomer Alcinas' run to the quarter-finals of Saturday's event, where he won £1,000, and a last 32 appearance on Sunday helped him jump up to fourth in the European Order of Merit.
Germany's Roith, meanwhile, improved on Saturday's last 32 finish with a last 16 spot the following day to win one of the eight qualifying places for the European Championship, to be held at the Stadthalle in Dinslaken from July 29 to August 1.
Vincent van der Voort, who followed up his victory in Gladbeck with triumph in Saturday's event in Haarlem, currently heads the European Order of Merit with £14,900 prize money won.
However, the Dutch star could still break into the PDC's top 16 should he enjoy a successful New Tropicana World Series of Darts Festival - with Paul Nicholson just £10,000 ahead in the Order of Merit after Saturday's win.
Should van der Voort break into the top 16, Peter Martin would be the next qualifier for the European Championship, based on a count-back of prize money won over the previous four events between the eight players tied on £900 in the European Order of Merit.
The PDC's top 16 and the eight European Order of Merit qualifiers will be joined in the European Championship by the top eight non-qualified players from the Players Championship Order of Merit.
They are currently Gary Anderson, Wayne Jones, Denis Ovens, Andy Smith, Wes Newton, Mark Dudbridge, Jamie Caven and Barrie Bates.
