During this event, not only will you have a chance to play in The World - Stage 7, but there are several other events to fill up the darting weekend. Go here for more information on the rules and how to enter.
I just returned from playing in The World - Stage 3 in Hong Kong. Every player that I spoke to in Hong Kong told me that they are going to Las Vegas for The World - Stage 7. This doesn't surprise me as Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and everybody wants to goto Las Vegas.
It's great that many international players are coming to America for the DARTSLIVE USA Open. When you combine the international players with the large number American players who will play in this tournament, it is quite possible that this event could reach its maximum player limit before the entry period expires.
