The field of 32 players was mostly made up from the top 16 in the
PDC Order of Merit on September 20, following the two Players Championships in
Nuland,
Netherlands. The top 8 from these rankings were also the
seeded players. The remaining 16 places went to the top 12 non-qualified players from the Players Championship Order of Merit, and then to the top 4 non-qualified residents of the
Republic of Ireland and
Northern Ireland from the 2010 Players Championship Order of Merit who have competed in at least six Players Championship events. ==Television coverage and sponsorship==
