qualification

In contrast to other tournaments, the qualification criteria were not based on rankings, but on victories, finals and semi-finals at the major PDC tournaments and the BDO World Championship in previous years. Due to three consecutive cancellations in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the PDC decided not to invite BDO world champion Martin Adams any more.

Group stage

The game was played in the best-of-nine- legs mode.
