The schedule of play has been confirmed for the first round of the 2024 Machineseeker European Championship! Five PDC World Champions will be in action on a star-studded opening night in Dortmund! 🔥 👉 bit.ly/24ECSchedule
Participants at the 2024 European Darts Championship may split a total of 600,000 pounds in prize money. The seventeenth edition of this tournament will take place in Dortmund from Thursday, Oct. 24 to Sunday, Oct. 27.
The tournament was first scheduled in 2008. Back then, the prize pool contained £200,000, of which £50,000 went to the winner. Meanwhile, the prize pool is three times higher, while the winner receives more than two and a half times as much.
Compared to 2023, the prize fund has been increased by £100,000. The amount for the winner and runner-up has remained the same, so the extra money flows to the players who do not make it to the final.
All 32 participants are guaranteed a starting premium of 7,500 pounds, which is 25 percent more than last year. A win in the first round increases the earnings to 15,000 pounds. A quarterfinal spot earns £25,000.
The semifinalists go home with a minimum of 40,000 pounds. The losing finalist will receive £60,000, while the winner of the European Darts Championship will receive a check for £120,000.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
