What is the Grand Slam of Darts format?
The players are split into eight groups, with the top two from each group progressing.
In the group stage, players receive two points for a win in a best-of-nine-legs contest. The second round is best-of-19 legs, with the quarters, semi-finals and final best-of-31 legs.
To split a two-way points tie for any position within a group, the following process will be used:
– Leg difference
– Group match winner
To split a three-way points tie for positions within a group, the following process will be used:
– Leg difference
– Legs won
– Legs won against throw
– Tournament average
– If still a tie for one or more places, there will be a nine-dart shoot-out between the relevant players to determine final standings, with the highest aggregate score over nine darts being used to separate the players.
In the event a nine-dart shoot-out finishes level between two or more 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.
From the second round onwards, the tournament will be played in a knockout format, using the following bracket:
- Winner Group A vs Runner-Up Group B
- Winner Group B vs Runner-Up Group A
- Winner Group C vs Runner-Up Group D
- Winner Group D vs Runner-Up Group C
- Winner Group E vs Runner-Up Group F
- Winner Group F vs Runner-Up Group E
- Winner Group G vs Runner-Up Group H
- Winner Group H vs Runner-Up Group G

The semi-finalists then get £50,000, the quarter-finalists £25,000, then those who get through to the last 16 walk away with £12,250.
If you come third in the group stage, it is an £8,000 payday, fourth in your group is £5,000. If you win the group, it is an extra £3,500 to take home.
