HAVE you ever dreamed of playing alongside Phil Taylor in a major televised darts tournament? ITV are giving any darts player the chance to win a place in the 2007 Grand Slam of Darts.

An ITV Wildcard Qualifier for the tournament will take place on Sunday 30 September at Wolverhampton's Aldersley Leisure Village, and allow any darts player to enter.

The winner will be awarded a place in November's inaugural ITV-televised Grand Slam of Darts at the nearby Wolverhampton Civic, guaranteeing a minimum prize of £4,000 for qualifying.

"This is exciting news for the Grand Slam of Darts," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

"The tournament will see champions from major tournaments around the world travel to Wolverhampton, and this is a chance for one ambitious player to join them in the event.

"We're not only inviting professional players to come along and attempt to qualify; this knockout is open to any player with the dream of sharing a stage with the likes of Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld in November.

"The welcome mat is there for anybody to enter and come along to live out that dream!

"You only have to think back to the excitement when Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon as a wildcard to realise that miracles and the unexpected happen so often in sport.

"We are working with ITV to hopefully achieve the same in the Grand Slam of Darts."

Entry will be £25 per player and can be made via the PDC Online Entry System or on 08712 501 180.
*Players must be aged 18 or over on 30 September 2007.

Tickets for the Grand Slam of Darts are on sale now from the Midlands Box Office on 0870 320 7000 or via www.wolvescivic.co.uk.
