There was particularly strong throwing in the second round of the World Cup of Darts. Never was the tournament average with the current format so high at the last 64 of the
World Darts Championship.
Since the 2019 edition, the field of participants of the World Darts Championship consists of 96 players. In the first round, a Pro Tour player takes on one of the international qualifiers. The winner of that duel plays against a top-32 seeded player, who has a bye in the first round.
The tournament average in the second round this year ended at 92.95. That is more than two points higher than last season, when the tournament average was 90.58. The old record was set during the 2021 edition. Then the average in the second round was 92.86.
