On Sunday, the German darts players will have to get back to work during the second day of the PDC Europe Super League, formerly known as the German Super League. After today eight of the worst performing players will be eliminated.
The likes of Nico Kurz, Martin Schindler, Max Hopp and Christian Bunse are among the total of 24 Germans who are hunting for a spot at the PDC World Darts Championship. They played their first five group matches on Saturday and will play the other players in their group again on Sunday.
Format
The 24 participants are divided into four groups of six darts. In each group, the players will play each other twice in a format of best of 11 legs on April 17-18. Each victory earns one point for the ranking.
Four players from each group will go through to the next round, which therefore consists of sixteen players. These will then be split into two groups of eight players. On April 19-20 they will play twice against the other players in their group. The four best players of both groups will go through to the final phase of the PDC Europe Super League.
From this stage onwards, all matches are knockout competitions. The quarter-finals will be played over best of 17 legs on April 21. The four remaining players will throw their semi-finals over best of 19 legs on April 22, followed by the final over best of 21 legs.
