Regions in Tier 1 in the United Kingdom are where the infections are at their lowest also known as medium with risk still there but it will be like when the country first started to remove Lockdown restrictions.
This includes the rule of six, pubs and restaurants shutting at 11pm but with the added caveat of spectators being allowed at live events. This is the same with tier two but no household mixing is allowed.
But with Tier 3 being the only one which will not allowed live events, the announcement that London will be in Tier 2 gives the hope for the showpiece event to have fans.
In order to get fans admitted to the tournament, the PDC and Alexandra Palace are currently working in collaboration to set up a plan for safety rules.
Fans must still social distance and comply but compared to other sports, darts has experience of running these events already with events in Austria and Germany potentially providing a roadmap in terms of fans attending.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
