Top 12 Book Topic IDL Spots

THE 12 automatic PDC qualifiers for the Topic International Darts League in May are now confirmed.

The tournament will see the top 12 players in the Order of Merit following this coming weekend's Blue Square UK Open Midlands Regional Final qualify by right.

However, Andy Hamilton's run to the last eight at Saturday's PartyPoker.net Players Championship means that he cannot now be overtaken by Ronnie Baxter - who reached the final in Frankfurt but is still over £5,000 behind.

The seedings amongst these 12 players could still change between places 5-9 and 10-12.

Four PDPA members will join those 12 players in the IDL, and will be the four players - outside of those who have already qualified - who perform best in the Antwerp Darts Trophy on Sunday 15 April.

Mervyn King, Michael van Gerwen, Jelle Klaasen and Vincent van der Voort will also be included in the tournament after being given Promotor's Wildcards.
