The first round has started at Players Championship 24 and as is the case with alternate tournaments, the 17-32 seeds begin their campaigns first and the first winners are confirmed.
Among them include Gary Anderson who averaged 97 in taking down Jacques Labre 6-3. There was also victory for Raymond van Barneveld ahead of his World Grand Prix return, he saw off Alan Soutar 6-3 with a 96 average.

Chris Dobey is through too defeating Martijn Kleermaker 6-4, while Steve Beaton defeated Ross Montgomery 6-5. The top averages so far come from Mervyn King who will be missing in Leicester next week and is battling to even play Alexandra Palace. But he defeated Gabriel Clemens 6-4 with a 105 average.
Gian van Veen also continued his superb form with a 103 average to see off Ricky Evans 6-3. This is the final day of action before the World Grand Prix kicks off next Monday and the last chance for form before the double in, double out format.

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
