Schedule Saturday afternoon at European Darts Open 2024 including Bunting, Heta, Chisnall and Dobey

Saturday afternoon the second round at the European Darts Open 2024 in Leverkusen will begin. During the afternoon session, no fewer than three Dutch players will compete for a spot in the last sixteen of this Euro Tour tournament.

The afternoon session kicks off with an interesting affair between Gian van Veen and Andy Baetens. After that, reigning Masters champion Stephen Bunting faces Kevin Trappmann in the second round.

Third seed Damon Heta will face of with Dom Taylor. The fourth match of the afternoon will be a cracker between Ryan Searle and two-time major winner Daryl Gurney. Chris Dobey is in the fifth match of the afternoon. He faces Jeffrey de Graaf. Dave Chisnall will face Luke Woodhouse as his opponent.

At the end of the afternoon, Ross Smith will play against Callan Rydz. The latter did not have to play on Friday night because Nico Kurz called in sick. The final match is between Ricardo Pietreczko and Kevin Doets.

The tournament will be broadcast by PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the European Darts Open consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12 p.m., while the evening sessions start at 6 p.m.

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 the quarter-finals, semifinals and finals will follow.

At the European Darts Open, a total of 175,000 pounds 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 this tournament from the second round will get 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.
