DARTS star Madars Razma showed up to a European Tour qualifier on Wednesday – only to find out that he wasn't due to play.
The 36-year-old thought he required qualification for events five and six on the calendar, which are due to take place at the end of April and start of May.
However, he arrived at the venue in only to find out that he'd already earned a place.
Razma took to social media to share his error, writing: “Sometimes you need to read the @OfficialPDC news.
“I arrive at venue to play the qualifiers, but I don't find myself in the tournament.
“And then you find out that you are already in Graz.”
The first of the two European Tour events is set to take place in Graz, Austria.
That will be followed by another event in Sindelfingen, Germany, the next week.
Fans were quick to comment on the darts star's mistake, with one person writing: “At least you were already in Leicester from the Players Champ events!
“Can you imagine if you’d travelled from home to find out you’d already qualified?”
Another commented: “Better this way than not attending a qualifier because you believe you're in an event just to find out that you aren't.”
While a third said: “At least you get to spend another day in sunny Leicester, Madars!”
Other fans were baffled as to why Razma was not informed that he'd qualified.
But the Latvian responded: “I don't think they need to do it.. Everyone can open the PDC website and read this.
“And believe me, I don't care. Finally rules changes did something good for me!”
