Format

Preliminary Round – Best of seven legs (no tie-break)
First Round – Best of five sets
Second Round – Best of seven sets
Third Round – Best of seven sets
Quarter-Finals – Best of nine sets
Semi-Finals – Best of 11 sets
Final – Best of 13 sets

All sets are the best of five legs.

All matches using the sets format will have a tie-break situation in the deciding set only, where the final set must be won by two clear legs until the score in that set reaches 5-5. Should that situation occur, then a sudden-death leg will be played, before which the players will throw for the bull to determine who throws first in the sudden-death leg.

Prize Fund

In addition, should any player hit a nine-dart finish during the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship, he would receive a £10,000 bonus. If more than one nine-dart finish is hit, the £10,000 is shared on a pro-rata basis.
