2011 PDC Pro Tour
The 2011 PDC Pro Tour was a series of non-televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). They were the Professional Dart Players Association (PDPA) Players Championships and the UK Open Qualifiers. This year there were 39 PDC Pro Tour events – 31 Players Championships and 8 UK Open Qualifiers.
Prize money
[edit]Prize money for each Players Championship and UK Open Qualifier increased from £31,200 in 2010 to £34,600 in 2011.
| Stage | PC/UKQ | YT |
|---|---|---|
| Winner | £6,000 | £600 |
| Runner-up | £3,000 | £400 |
| Semi-finalists | £2,000 | £200 |
| Quarter-finalists | £1,000 | £100 |
| Last 16 | £600 | £25 |
| Last 32 | £400 | N/A |
| Last 64 | £200 | N/A |
| Total | £34,600 | £2,000 |
In addition, £400 per Pro Tour event was reserved for a nine-dart finish. Should this not be won in an event, it was carried over to the next event, and so on until a nine-dart finish was achieved. Once the prize fund was won, it reverted to £400 for the next event.
PDC Pro Tour Card
[edit]From 2011, the PDC Pro Tour operates a Tour Card system. 128 players are granted Tour Cards, which enables them to participate in all Players Championships and UK Open Qualifiers.
Tour cards
[edit]The 2011 Tour Cards were awarded to:
- 101 players from the PDC Order of Merit after the 2011 World Championship
- 2 finalists from the 2010 PDC Women's World Championship
- 25 qualifiers from a four-day Qualifying School in Wigan (4 semi-finalists from each day, plus the top 9 players from the Q School Order of Merit)
Tour Cards were also offered to the four semi-finalists from the 2011 BDO World Championship, although none of the players took up the offer.
Q School
[edit]The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School took place at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan from January 13–16.
| January 13[1] | January 14[2] | January 15[3] | January 16[4] |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A Q School Order of Merit was also created by using the following points system:
| Stage | Points |
|---|---|
| Last 8 | 9 |
| Last 16 | 5 |
| Last 32 | 3 |
| Last 64 | 2 |
| Last 128 | 1 |
To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Qualifying School Order of Merit. The following players picked up Tour Cards as a result:[4]
