Fallon Sherrock and Beau Greaves were among the high-profile names who failed to secure a PDC Tour card at Q-School in Milton Keynes on Sunday.
Sherrock fell to a 6–1 defeat at the hands of James Beaton in the second round as she missed her last chance to secure access to the PDC Championships for the next two years.
Greaves fared little better than Sherrock, crushing Ted Evetts 6-0 in the second round, before a hotly contested 6-5 defeat to Carl Snead resulted in her elimination.
Simon Whitlock, runner-up at the World Championship in 2010, suffered a similar fate, as his hopes of obtaining a ticket to the tour were dashed after his 6-3 defeat to Tom Sykes in the first round.
Former world No. 4 Mervyn King and three-time world darts major winner John Henderson also failed to secure tour cards.
