Legends Enter World Championship Qualifiers

ERIC BRISTOW, John Lowe and Keith Deller are among the 169 entrants for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship PDPA Qualifier on Friday 16 November.

The three former World Champions will be looking to win one of the eight places on offer at Alexandra Palace next month when they compete at the Aldersley Leisure Village.

Bristow and Lowe hold eight World Championship titles between them over three decades, while Deller and Wales' Richie Burnett both claimed the Embassy title once.

Those four legends are joined by Cliff Lazarenko in the field, as well as 1996 World Matchplay winner Peter Evison.

American duo John Kuczynski and Isen Veljic are heading across the Atlantic in a bid to claim a place in the World Championship.

This weekend's two Players Championship tournaments in Lisse will be the final events for players to win a place in the world's top 32.

Additionally, the top eight players (from outside the top 32) on the Players Championship Order of Merit following the two tournaments will win the other eight PDPA places.

The draw for the PDPA Qualifiers will be made on Monday.
