There are eight pots as seen below with eight groups in the
Grand Slam of Darts. One player is picked from each pot to make up a group. For example Michael van Gerwen could end up in the same group as Raymond van Barneveld, Krzysztof Ratajski and Glen Durrant. Who comes out of the pools in the draw is also important as the corresponding group winners will face off in round two.
