The World Matchplay starts shortly and the format has remained unchanged for the 2018 edition.
The PDC initially changed the format which was released yesterday but this has been amended meaning that for the second round it will still be the best of 21 legs.
This is like in 2016 and 2017 when the same format was used at the World Matchplay so for this year at least there is no change.
The eyes of the darting world will be on the Winter Gardens as Michael van Gerwen searches for a third title and the 31 other players will be chasing the out and out World Number One.
Format:
First Round - Best of 19 legs
Second Round - Best of 21 legs
Quarter-Finals - Best of 31 legs
Semi-Finals - Best of 33 legs
Final - Best of 35 legs
