Players are permitted one, non-transferable guest per player (Excluding DRA Registered Managers). Guests must be aged 16 or above (ID may be required) and be genuinely linked to the player who they are a guest of.
All guest names should be submitted to the security desk on your arrival.
Players are reminded that under DRA rules, they are responsible for the conduct of their guest at all times. Going forward, if the above is not observed we may revert to DRA Managers only.
Incentives:
- The World Youth Championship starts at the Last 128 round and is comprised of a maximum of 32 invitations, plus any players who under rule 6.2 have qualified by virtue of holding a Tour Card with all remaining places up to 128 being taken from the final 2025 Development Tour Order of Merit, using count-back as per rule 3.2 if required to determine positions.
The World Youth Championship is played over the best of nine legs for group stage matches and the best of 11 legs for the knockout stage. The group stage will consist of four players per group. The full format will be confirmed in due course.
The World Youth Championship will include 32 seeds, being based on the Main Order of Merit with the remaining positions based on the final 2025 Development Order of Merit, and will be played down to a Final. The Final will then be scheduled during a PDC Premier or Invitational Event at a later date (expected to be at the 2025 Players Championship Finals).
