## Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the [PDC ProTour Order of Merit](/source/PDC_Order_of_Merit#Secondary_Orders_of_Merit) on 30 April automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 9 May), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 April), the two highest ProTour ranking Dutch players, two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 26 May), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 20 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 April).

[Luke Humphries](/source/Luke_Humphries) was due to participate as the fifth seed but withdrew due to a personal commitment. As a result, [Chris Dobey](/source/Chris_Dobey) became a seed and an additional place was made available at the Host Nation Qualifier.

[Jim Williams](/source/Jim_Williams_(darts_player)) withdrew on the morning of the first day, as he missed his flight to the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands), so [Ritchie Edhouse](/source/Ritchie_Edhouse) received a bye into the second round.
