Over 100 players travelled to Villa Park on Saturday to play off for the eight places in the Preliminary Round of the IDL, to be held in Holland next month.
Dudbridge, Mason and Alan Tabern were the only seeded players to progress from the event.
Dudbridge had a narrow 5-4 win over Dave Honey in his deciding match, while Mason won 5-3 against Alan Caves and Tabern was a 5-2 victor against Lionel Sams.
Wayne Jones whitewashed David Platt 5-0 in his final game, while Richie Burnett knocked out Mark Robinson, Steve Smith, Mick McGowan and Wes Newton in his successful run - with three matches going all the way to a ninth leg.
Kevin McDine, a semi-finalist in the Blue Square UK Open Midlands Regional Final three weeks ago, defeated Dennis Smith 5-2 to progress, with Robbie Green winning by the same scoreline against Garry Spedding.
Matt Clark, who competed in the IDL before joining the PDC, ended the hopes of Colin Osborne early on and won 5-2 against Paul Knighton in his decider.
