The list of entries for the 2022 Grand Slam of Darts qualifier has been confirmed, with Gary Anderson having opted out of competing.

More than 100 players will battle it out in Barnsley on Sunday November 6 for the final eight places in the £650,000 ranking event.

This year’s Grand Slam of Darts will take place from November 12-20 at the Aldersley Leisure Village, with 23 of the 32 available places having already been confirmed.

The final place among the 16 automatic qualifiers will be decided following this weekend’s Players Championship double-header in Barnsley, with Rob Cross currently occupying the last provisional qualification spot following two tournament wins this season.

A further eight places will be up for grabs in the last-chance qualifier on Sunday, with notable entrants including former Grand Slam champions Jose De Sousa, Raymond van Barneveld and Scott Waites.

Three-time runner-up James Wade is bidding to preserve his ever-present record in the event since its inception in 2007, but two-time World Champion Anderson will see his 100 per cent appearance record come to an end after opting not to enter the qualifier.

Dimitri van den Bergh, Adrian Lewis, Stephen Bunting, Krzysztof Ratajski and Daryl Gurney are among the other high-profile entries.
