Qualification

The top 32 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on the 5 March 2013 automatically qualified for the event.[4] The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Wigan on 15 March),[5] [6] eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Host Nation Qualifier (both held at the venue in Sindelfingen on 29 March).[7] [8]

Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson and Raymond van Barneveld opted to not play in the event. James Wade withdrew the day before the tournament started due to illness, as did Simon Whitlock in order to focus on the Premier League. An additional place in the draw was therefore available in the European Qualifier and the Host Nation Qualifier.[9]
