ALL four Betway Premier League matches on the final night of the regular season in Aberdeen on Thursday could impact on the Play-Offs as players jostle for final league positions.
Following 14 league nights across the UK, Ireland and Netherlands since February, Thursday's visit to the GE Oil & Gas Arena will culminate in the top four players progressing to next week's Play-Offs.
Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson have secured their top four spots to ensure that they will be in the semi-finals, with Phil Taylor and Dave Chisnall battling for the final Play-Off place.
Van Gerwen and Wright, meanwhile, are battling to claim the £25,000 League Leader's Bonus for the player who tops the final league table.
Thursday's fixtures are:
Dave Chisnall v James Wade
Phil Taylor v Adrian Lewis
Peter Wright v Raymond van Barneveld
Michael van Gerwen v Gary Anderson
The relevant permutations are:
Dave Chisnall
Must win to go level on 17 points with Phil Taylor, and then hope that Taylor loses by enough legs to give Chisnall a better Leg Difference.
Phil Taylor
Qualifies for the Play-Offs if Chisnall does not win.
If Chisnall wins, Taylor qualifies for the Play-Offs with a win or a draw.
Will qualify with a 7-4 or 7-5 defeat.
Any other defeat would bring Leg Difference between Taylor and Chisnall into the equation.
Only Points or Leg Difference will be used to split, as Chisnall cannot Level with or overtake Taylor on Legs Won Against Throw, which would be the third differentiating factor (32-25).
Peter Wright
A draw puts him level on 22 points with Michael van Gerwen. He would then require Van Gerwen to lose 7-1 to leave Wright top.
A win puts him one point ahead of Van Gerwen.
Michael van Gerwen
Finishes top with a win.
If Wright wins 7-2, 7-3, 7-4 or 7-5, Van Gerwen only needs a draw to finish top.
If Wright wins 7-5 with six Legs Won Against Throw, Van Gerwen would need to draw with at least one Leg Won Against Throw.
If Wright draws, Van Gerwen only needs two legs to finish top (or three legs if Wright won all six legs against throw).
In addition, the places from fifth to eight - featuring Chisnall, Raymond van Barneveld, Adrian Lewis and James Wade - can also see movement on Thursday, with prize money for players not reaching the Play-Offs based on final finishing positions.
