UK Open Order of Merit

The UK Open Order of Merit is made up of the prize money won at the regional finals. Following completion of the 8 regional finals, the top 128 players in the order of merit will qualify for the televised finals at The Reebok, Bolton on 7th-10th June.
All UK Open Regional Finals will be awarded PDC prize money down to 64 players regardless of the number of entries. There are 8 regional finals (5 in England plus Wales, Scotland & Ireland) open to all players with a £55 entry fee.
The top 96 players on the Budweiser UK Open Order of Merit, plus ties, will be invited to take part in the televised finals at The Reebok Stadium. These players must have played in at least three of the eight Regional Finals, with the place going to the next player in the Order of Merit if this requirement is not met.
This list will then be divided into three groups - those players finishing 1-32; those players finishing 33-64; and those finishing 65-96. In the case of any ties, the count back rule will apply.
The prize fund breakdown at each Regional Final will be as follows; Winner £4000; Runner-up £2000; 3-4 £1000; 5-8 £500; 9-16 £250; 17-32 £100; 33-64 £50.
