The Order of Merit winner from the 2024 PDC Asian Tour, PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour, Championship Darts Corporation Tour, DartPlayers Australia Tour and DartPlayers New Zealand Tour shall receive an exemption to the final stage of 2025 Q School. For clarity, players eligible for exemptions or entries under this criteria must still enter via the online registration system and, where relevant, pay their entry fee.
Players who qualify for this exemption may choose which Q School to enter and must inform the Tournament Director in advance of the entry deadline, other than the representative from the PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour, who would play in the European Qualifying School. If any eligible player rejects this invitation or is otherwise not eligible, the runner-up in the Order of Merit shall be invited. If they reject the invitation or are otherwise not eligible, the invitation shall be withdrawn.
The First Stage of Q School will be played across three days, with the eight quarter-finalists from each day qualifying automatically for the Final Stage and the remaining places being decided by a Points List with one point being awarded per win from the first full round drawn without byes
