Saturday also sees the top 16 on the seeded list enter the German Darts Open. During the afternoon session, the first eight matches of the second round will be played at the Euro Tour tournament in Jena.
The afternoon session kicks off with a meeting between Andrew Gilding and Madars Razma. Then Jose de Sousa faces Mike de Decker, before Krzysztof Ratajski takes on world's fastest darter Ricky Evans.
Jules van Dongen battles Josh Rock next, while Kevin Doets next faces Ryan Searle. A meeting with Dylan Slevin awaits Danny Noppert, and Brian Raman faces Rob Cross. The closing match of the afternoon is between Stephen Bunting and Joe Cullen.
This year, the Euro Tour tournaments will be broadcast by Viaplay for the first time. The afternoon sessions start at 1300 local time, 1200 BST, while the evening sessions start at 1900 local time, 1800 BST
Furthermore, the European Darts Matchplay for British darts fans can be seen via PDCTV. A subscription is required to access this live stream.
During each Euro Tour tournament, £175,000 in prize money is distributed. All qualifiers are guaranteed £1,250, while the top 16 players on the placement list at the German Darts Open will receive £2,500 anyway. However, these 16 players must win their first game in the second round for the prize money to actually count toward the world rankings and other rankings.
Per victory, the prize money earned increases. For example, the finalists already receive a minimum of £12,000. The winner of the tournament goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
