PDC 2012 North American Tour

The 2012 PDC North American Pro Tour

It's official! The PDC has launched a North American Pro Tour (NAPT) that is designed to grow each year and sustain itself after the first 3 years. Each NAPT event will be held over a weekend with the Pro Event being held on the Sunday. An associated tournament or warm-up event would precede the Pro Event on the Friday and Saturday.
The program is designed to sustain itself after the first three years meaning that there would be at least 8 Pro Events in 2015 and subsequent years. Success of the program will mean additional growth in year 4 (2015) in terms of increased prize money per event and/or an increase in the number of Pro Events throughout North America in 2015.
The following details outline the PDC NAPT program for the first three years. At the present time, the 3 NAPT Championship Events to be held in 2012 have been confirmed. The schedule for the 3 NAPT Championships are shown below.  Complete flyers detailing the warm-up events and the NAPT Championships are posted on the Bull's-Eye News website:  See right hand column on this page.

1. The PDC NA Pro Tour would be open only to North American residents.
2. Each Pro Event in the PDC North America Pro Tour would consist of a guaranteed $10,000
   singles event with the PDC Players Championship format.
   
     1st        2nd         T-4        T-8       T16       T32*

3. Each event would take place over a weekend with the Pro Event scheduled on the Sunday
   with a 12:00 noon start. Entered players must check in no later than 11:00 am on the Sunday
   of the event or suffer disqualification.
4. The PDC dress code and general rules would be in effect.
5. A North American Professional Darts Players Association (NAPDPA) would be launched in
   year 2 with an annual membership fee ($50 US). Membership Benefits would include the
   ability to accept PDC invites to PDC main events as a result of their NAOoM ranking and
   other criteria, waiver of the day membership fee that will commence in year 2, and waiver of
   annual NAPDPA membership fee for all PDC PDPA members.
6. Pre-registration would be required for entry into the Pro Events. Entry fee would be $100 for
   the first year and $90 with a $10 day membership fee in the 2nd and subsequent years.
   Members of the NAPDPA would not be required to pay the day membership fee.
7. The North American Order of Merit
   (NAOoM) would include the results from the NAPT Pro Events only. It would include results on a 2 year running total basis with the results from Pro Events in the 1st year being eliminated on the anniversary of the 3rd year of those Pro Events.
8. The NAOoM would be used to select
   North American players to attend PDC Main Events such as the World Championship, the US and Canada PDC World Cup Teams, and possible other PDC Main Championship Events. Invites to North American players using the NAOoM would commence in year 2 (2013) with the NAOoM rankings including all 8 Pro Event results from years 2012 and 2013. Most important, the North American player at the top of the NAOoM after the first three NAPT Events in 2012 who is not already invited will be invited to participate in the 2013 Ladbrokes World Championship commencing in December of 2012!
