If you were handed 400 dollars, what would you spend it on? A holiday? Some home improvements? Or even a deposit on a new car?

Or how about the chance to realise a sporting ambition?

That's what more than 400 darts players have paid to take part in one of the qualifying events to secure a Professional Darts Corporation tour card.

If successful there'll be the chance to play in televised events around the globe, earning a slice of the ten million dollar prize fund.

But first it's the less glamorous surroundings of a large hall in Wigan in the north west of England, lined with darts boards where up to 32 matches take place at any one time.
