Format
Group Matches - Best of nine legs
Second Round - Best of 19 legs
Quarter-Finals - Best of 31 legs
Semi-Finals - Best of 31 legs
Final - Best of 31 legs
There is no tie-break in any game.
The top two players from each Group will progress to the knockout phase from the Second Round onwards.
In the Group Stage, two points are awarded for a win. Any ties for places in each Group will be split by Points Won and then Leg Difference, with the potential for a Nine-Dart Shoot-Out should two or more players be tied for Points and Leg Difference.
Full Format
* The First Round will be a round-robin stage where the 32 players are drawn into eight groups of four players.
* Players will play three First Round games. The second set of matches will see the two winners from the first games meet each other, and the two losers also play each other. The third set of matches will consist of the pairings which have not previously met.
* Two points are awarded for a win and no points will be awarded for a loss. Each game is the best of nine legs, with the winner being the first player to win five legs. There will be no Tie-Break.
* After the First Round has been completed, the top two players in each group will progress to the knockout phase.
* Should there be a two-way points tie for first place in any group, the the player with the best leg difference will be deemed to have won the group. If both players have the same leg difference, then the player who won the group match between the two players will be deemed to have won the group.
* Should there be a three-way points tie for first place in any group, then leg difference will be the first deciding factor as to which players progress to the next stage. If there are clear leg differences between each of the three players, then those leg differences will determine the final places in the group.
If one player has superior leg difference to the other two players who have identical leg differences, then the player with superior leg difference will be deemed to have won the group. In this instance, the two players who are tied for second and third places will play a 'Nine-Dart Shoot-Out' following the completion of all group matches to determine the final order of the group, with the player having the highest aggregate score over nine darts being deemed to have finished second in the group.
Should a three-way points tie for first place in any group result in two players having identical superior leg differences to the third player, then those two players will progress to the next stage, with the winner of the group being deemed to be the player who won the group match between the two.
Should a three-way points tie for first place in any group result in all three players having identical leg differences, then all three players will contest a 'Nine-Dart Shoot-Out' as detailed above.
* In the event a 'Nine-Dart Shoot-Out' finishes level between two or three players, those players who have tied on the most points will continue to throw three darts each, in the same order, until one player scores more points than the other player(s) with their three darts.
* Should a three-way points tie for second place occur in any group, then the procedures above will be used to determine the second, third and fourth placed finishers.
* From the Second Round onwards, the tournament will be in a knockout format. There will be no tie-break rule employed in any match.
