The eight participants will play sixteen tournaments. It will be arranged so that a player meets the other participants twice in a quarterfinal. During two weeks of play, in the eighth and sixteenth weeks of play, the draw will be based on the points standings.

Points can be scored with results during the sixteen tournaments. A semifinal earns two points, a second place three points and a tournament win five points and a £10,000 bonus.

Based on these points, the new Premier League Darts rankings are formed. The top four players will advance to the Premier League Darts playoffs.
