Qualification
The top 32 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit Archived 2013-11-27 at archive.today on the 29 April 2013 automatically qualified for the event.[3] The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Wigan on 3 May),[4] eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Host Nation Qualifier (both held at the venue in Wiener Neustadt on 30 May).[5]
Simon Whitlock, Adrian Lewis and Phil Taylor all withdrew before the event started. Two additional places were therefore available in the European Qualifier and one extra place was available in the Home Nation Qualifier.[6]
