Schedule Saturday afternoon at Hungarian Darts Trophy 2024 with Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey, James Wade and Josh Rock

Saturday afternoon marks the start of the second round at the Hungarian Darts Trophy 2024 in Budapest. During the afternoon session, players will compete for a spot in the last sixteen of this European Tour tournament.

The Hungarian Darts Trophy is scheduled to take place for the fourth time. In 2021, Gerwyn Price managed to win the very first edition by beating Michael Smith 8-2 in the final. A year later, the title went to Joe Cullen, who was too strong for William O'Connor in a surprising 8-2 final. In 2023, Dave Chisnall took the title by beating Luke Humphries in the final.

The afternoon session opens with an encounter between Ricardo Pietreczko and Niels Zonneveld. After that Gian van Veen enters the oche for his match against Keane Barry.

Alberto Bezjian, the only Hungarian to qualify for the second round, faces Ryan Searle in Saturday afternoon's second match. For Daryl Gurney, a duel with Florian Hempel awaits, while Cor Dekker takes on reigning Masters champion Stephen Bunting.

An interesting tie in the second round is the clash between Chris Dobey and Scott Williams, while Martin Schindler and Jim Williams also do battle also. At the end of the afternoon, Josh Rock and James Wade also face each other.

The Hungarian Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Hungarian Darts Trophy 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.

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 Hungarian Darts Trophy 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 Hungarian Darts Trophy eventually goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
