Schedule final session 2024 European Darts Open: Stephen Bunting, Dave Chisnall and Michael Smith among players to battle for title in Leverkusen

Eight men are still in the race for title at the European Darts Open. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will be played on Sunday evening at the Euro Tour tournament in Leverkusen.

In the first quarter-final Stephen Bunting makes his appearance. 'The Bullet' impressed on Sunday afternoon by scoring an average of 117 in his match against Owen Bates. Heta settled Chris Dobey (6-5) in a cracker for a place in the last eight.

Ryan Searle and Dave Chisnall next vied for a semi-final spot after both won over a Dutchman in the quarter-finals. Searle eliminated Michael van Gerwen, and Chisnall was too strong for Kevin Doets.

The third match of the evening is a meeting between Martin Schindler and Michael Smith. Schindler turned a 1-4 deficit into a 6-4 victory against Dirk van Duijvenbode in his third round match. Smith recorded a 6-4 win over two-time world champion Peter Wright.

Finally, Ross Smith and Gian van Veen will decide between themselves who can call themselves the last semi-finalist. Smith won 6-5 against Josh Rock in the third round, while Van Veen was too strong for compatriot Raymond van Barneveld with a resounding 6-1 victory.

The European Darts Open will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the European Darts Open consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00, UK time.

The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the denouement of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

At this Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least 1250 pounds in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the European Darts Open from the second round will receive 2,500 pounds anyway.

They do - like the 16 Order of Merit qualifiers starting in the first round - have to win their first match in order for the prize money to count toward the world rankings and the other rankings. The winner of the 2024 European Darts Open will ultimately go home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
