Martin Adams and John Scott can strengthen their chances of qualifying for the 2020 BDO World Championship this weekend, after both qualified for the World Trophy earler today.
The World Trophy gets under way in Blackburn tomorrow, and the three-day event offers 49 ranking points to the winner.
First-round winners will pocket 21 ranking points, and Scott (24th) and Adams (27th) have the chance to boost their qualifying hopes for the Indigo at the O2 this weekend.
There could be plenty of moving around among the seeds, with Gary Stone, Ryan Hogarth and Leighton Bennett, three players in provisional seed positions, not in the World Trophy.
