It's time for the second round of the men's and women's tournaments at Lakeside. Four matches are scheduled on both Monday afternoon and Monday evening at the WDF World Championship in Frimley Green.
The afternoon session opens with a meeting between Peter Machin and James Richardson. After that, Anca Zijlstra takes the stage for her match against Paula Murphy. Next, Mark Barilli plays against Jim Widmayer, before Gary Stone and Ricky Nauman close out the afternoon.
The evening's program gets underway with an underdog bout between Barry Copeland and Jonny Tata. Then it's time for reigning women's world champion Beau Greaves, who faces off with Lorraine Hyde. Belgian fans can then turn on to see Andy Baetens at work. The Belgian number one in the WDF rankings will meet Sebastian Bialecki. The final match of the day is between James Hurrell and Dennis Nilsson.
This year's tournament is mainly shown online with streams through the channels of the WDF, Winmau and Tungsten Tales the live streams will be made available as well as Ayozat TV on Sky and their website.
The total prize pool for the WDF Lakeside World Championship includes £257,000 in prize money. That is a lot less than in 2022, when £300,000 was paid out.
The main prize for the winner of the men's and women's tournament did remain the same. The winner in the men's will take home 50,000 pounds in prize money. The winner in the women's will receive a check for 25,000 pounds.
