Tiebreak rule returns in deciding sets at PDC World Darts Championship

A deciding set must be won again at this year’s PDC World Darts Championship with two legs difference needed from the second round, with a maximum of eleven legs in a set.

Only when a score of 5-5 is reached in the deciding leg, a sudden-death leg is involved. The bull is not thrown again to determine who will start the last leg.
