Ryan Searle plays Saturday afternoon against one of the two Swiss qualifiers who made it through the first round. Roger Hertig surprisingly beat Ryan Meikle 6-5.
Former world champion Rob Cross will face off fwith Andrew Gilding for a spot in the last sixteen at this tournament. Gilding can play himself into the virtual field of participants for the World Grand Prix with a victory over Cross. Josh Rock then takes on Jermaine Wattimena.
Damon Heta starts his tournament against Madars Razma, who was too strong for Alex Fehlmann in the first round on Friday, 6-3. Ross Smith faces Mike de Decker in a potential quality affair.
The penultimate match of the afternoon pits Daryl Gurney against Karel Sedlacek, before Danny Noppert and Cameron Menzies close out the afternoon. For Noppert, it will be his first match at this tournament, while Menzies dealt with Jonny Clayton in the first round.
TV and live stream
The Swiss Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Swiss Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start on Friday and Saturday at 12:00, while the evening sessions then start at 18:00. On Sunday, the sessions start at 11:00 and 17:00.
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 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 Swiss 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 Swiss Darts Trophy ultimately goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
