With a wide open field throughout the latter half of the tournament, the
Dutch Darts Championship in Zwolle this past weekend set a new
European Tour record.
The Quarter-Finals saw no fewer than six players who were not seeded involved. Never before has there been so few seeded players left at this point of the tournament.
Only Michael Smith and Dirk van Duijvenbode managed to live up to their seeded status. Mervyn King, Andrew Gilding, Callan Rydz, Simon Whitlock, Danny Noppert and Boris Krcmar were the six unseeded players.
