Schedule Saturday afternoon at Dutch Darts Championship 2024 including Bunting, Chisnall, Clayton and Wade

Saturday afternoon the second round at the Dutch Darts Championship 2024 in Rosmalen will begin. It is the day in which the seeded names come into the fray in Holland.

Stephen Bunting, the current Masters champion kicks it off when he faces Jeffrey de Graaf who is originally Dutch. He defected to play for Sweden after living there for a considerable number of years attaining citizenship. Daryl Gurney will then face Luke Woodhouse with the World Cup of Darts spot very much at the forefront for 'Superchin'.

Damon Heta is then in a tie which could be the best of the session as the top ranked Australian faces one of the most in-form players in darts somewhat unexpectedly in Ritchie Edhouse. Dave Chisnall who is defending champion then attempts to jostle with the Rosmalen faithful as he faces Niels Zonneveld. The same can be said for Jonny Clayton against Marvin van Velzen.

Whilst Ricardo Pietreczko who is usually used to fans singing his name on the European Tour will likely get the opposite when he faces Jermaine Wattimena. Andrew Gilding facing Danny Noppert and Ryan Searle taking on James Wade completes the session.

TV and live stream

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

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.

Distribution of prize money

At the Dutch Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least £1250 in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the Dutch Darts Championship 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 Dutch Darts Championship 2024 will ultimately go home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
