West also qualified for the fifth European Tour Event of the year, the Dutch Darts Masters, and was narrowly beaten 5–6 by Brendan Dolan in the first round. West lost 5–3 to Jake Pennington in the first round of the 2013 United Kingdom Open. He only played in six more events in the rest of the year and finished it outside the top 64 meaning he needed to enter Q School to regain his place.

He entered three qualifiers and failed to reach the main event in all of them. BDO International
