THE schedule of play for Saturday's evening session at the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship has been amended following a request from Sky Sports.
The second night of first round action at Alexandra Palace had been due to open with Robert Thornton's clash with Max Hopp, before the preliminary round game between Julio Barbero and Andree Welge took place.
However, with Sky Sports' opening hour of coverage being behind the interactive Red Button, the opening two games have been switched, with the preliminary round contest now kicking the evening off.
The order of play for the session's final three first round games remains as originally announced.
