Plenty of quality Darts was on show including some very high ton plus scoring, including 180's and 177's.
With no seeded draw bracket, and the draw after every round, this is a very hard format to win, as any of the top ranked players can draw each other at any given time.
Again, this year’s event providing some very hard ties, especially in round one, & then all the way to the semi-finals.
