Fallon Sherrock and Beau Greaves were among the high-profile names who failed to earn a PDC Tour Card at Q-School in Milton Keynes on Sunday.
Sherrock fell to a second-round 6-1 defeat at the hands of James Beeton as her final opportunity to secure access to PDC tournaments for the next two years passed her by.
Greaves fared a little better than Sherrock, thrashing Ted Evetts 6-0 in the second round, before a tightly contested 6-5 defeat to Carl Sneyd saw her eliminated.

Simon Whitlock, World Championship runner-up in 2010, suffered a similar fate, with his hopes of securing a Tour Card dashed by a 6-3 defeat to Tom Sykes in the first round.
Former world No 4 Mervyn King and three-time world senior darts major winner John Henderson also failed to secure Tour Cards.
Jim Long and Maik Kuivenhoven secured their Tour Cards as outright winners on Sunday, with a further 21 cards secured on points as 2025 Q-School came to a close.
Alongside Long and the already confirmed winners of Tom Bissell, Justin Hood and Tavis Dudeney, nine more players joined the quartet from the UK Q School Order of Merit in Bradley Brooks, Darryl Pilgrim, Greg Ritchie, Adam Lipscombe, Adam Paxton, Cam Crabtree, Adam Warner, Andy Boulton and Thomas Lovely.
In Germany, 13 cards were distributed to those on the Order of Merit, with Cor Dekker, Per Ljubic, Karel Sedlacek, Oskar Lukasiak, Tytus Kanik, Rusty-Jake Rodriguez, Dominik Gruellich, Stefaan Henderyck, Max Czerwinski, Max Hopp, Leon Weber and Marvin van Velzen joining the outright winners of Kuivenhoven, Viktor Tingstrom, Kai Gotthardt, Dennie Olde Kalter.
Despite a number of returning faces, Sunday's results mean 20 of the 29 cards distributed have gone to brand new names on the professional circuit.
