Prizes as follows: £10,000 winner, £5,000 runner-up, £2,500 semi-finalists, £1,250 quarter-finalists, £625 last 16.

In addition, the two finalists will also receive Grand Slam of Darts and ProTour card invitations.

Neither of the finalists will be required to sign a PDC contract, although should either of the finalists wish to play in the Grand Slam or take up their ProTour Card, they must then sign a contract

VAN GERWEN & MONK TO CONTEST UNDER-21 DECIDER
MICHAEL VAN GERWEN and Arron Monk will contest the final of the PDC Unicorn Under-21 World Championship after winning through Saturday's qualifying stages in Barnsley.
Dutchman van Gerwen, the 21-year-old who burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old by winning a host of senior tournaments, will challenge 20-year-old Monk at Alexandra Palace on stage during the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship in the New Year for the £10,000 title.
The pair also qualify to compete in the Daily Mirror Grand Slam of Darts, which begins at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall next weekend, and are guaranteed a PDC ProTour card in 2011.
While van Gerwen has plenty of experience on the big stage, Monk's only previous appearances in front of the television cameras have come at the UK Open and in the New Kids On The Oche programme in 2008, which he won to earn a place on the PDC ProTour the following year.
Monk, the son of veteran professional Colin, was narrowly defeated in last year's ITV Wildcard Qualifier to win a place in the Grand Slam of Darts, but will finally have his chance in Wolverhampton next week.
"I lost in the final of the ITV Wildcard Qualifier last year to Steve Maish and was gutted about that, but now I'm there," Monk said. "I'll be on TV three times in the round-robin and hopefully more, and I can't wait.
Van Gerwen, meanwhile, defeated fellow Dutchman Benito van de Pas in his semi-final game with a 4-1 win, having earlier defeated Manchester's top young talent Shaun Griffiths in a deciding leg in the quarter-finals.
