The field and contents of the pots ahead of the draw have been confirmed ahead of this weekends' Grand Slam of Darts at the Wolves Civic in Wolverhampton. The yearly tournament sees the best on both sides of the darting divide with PDC and BDO facing off. Michael van Gerwen comes to the Civic the heavy favourite to win 3 in a row but Phil Taylor is back and it is his final major before the World Championship so he will be out to stop the World Number One being really unchallenged at the European Championship and WSOD Finals.
There are 8 seeds involved who are listed below and correspond to the World Rankings of the players. 1 player will be taken out of this pot to start of the group and this will continue until there are 8 groups.
The line up includes mostly experienced players alongside some of the best youth talents such as Berry van Peer, Corey Cadby, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Steve Lennon as well as of course Cameron Menzies, Danny Noppert, Glen Durrant, Jamie Hughes, Mark McGeeney, Peter Machin, Ross Montgomery & Scott Mitchell on the BDO side vying to become only the second BDO player to win the tournament after Scott Waites in 2010.

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
- It’s filling the Sky schedule and generating the revenue. Tournament goes on to long could easily shave a couple of days off with more matches each day. I agree that perhaps all first round matches should be played first.Mysstree12-12-2024
- Wright deserved to be selected for the premier league last year. He was the only player besides Humphries to win a major (European Championships) in the back half of the year. And he was still ranked in the top 8. Plus he's a draw for fans, let's face it that's a big factor.Matilda6212-12-2024
- The game needs Lewis,he's a top bloke. If they put wright in the premier league last year,they can give Lewis a tour card. He has nothing to proverick6710-12-2024
