ONLY 12 places now remain up for grabs at the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship in December.
The field for the tournament is now nearing completion, following the confirmation of the 32 automatic qualifiers from the PDC Order of Merit.
They are joined by eight PDPA members from the Players Championship Order of Merit, and the final eight players who won the PDPA qualifying places at the knockout event in Wolverhampton on Friday 16 November.
This year will see 20 International Representatives compete, including eight in the Preliminary Round at Alexandra Palace next month.
Holland's Erwin Extercatte has been awarded the SBS6 Wildcard as a reward for his displays in the Players Championship events staged in Holland and Belgium this year, seeing him make a second World Championship appearance.
Extercatte - a quarter-finalist in April's Open Holland Masters - narrowly missed out on an automatic place in the World Championship last weekend, when Toon Greebe's run to the last 16 of Sunday's Players Championship saw him leapfrog the 26-year-old in the standings.
Greebe and Leroy Kwadijk were the two best-placed players behind the already qualified Roland Scholten and Jelle Klaasen in the standings.
The Danish qualification series comes to a head this weekend, when Per Laursen and Vladimir Anderson face off in the final two tournaments.
The final place goes to Japanese qualifier Akihiro Nakagawa, who will enter at the Preliminary Round stage.
The draw for the tournament will take place on Monday 26 November at 3.30pm, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports News.
