The WDF have confirmed the schedule for the 2022 Lakeside World Championship which was rescheduled to take place between April 2-10.
Also some PDC Tour Card holders will play at Lakeside. The PDC has given them a one-off exemption to take part in the WDF tournament. Normally PDC players are not allowed by their contract to participate in tournaments organised by other organisations.
The tournament will start on Saturday April 2 with a clash between three-time Lakeside champion Martin Adams and Jarred Cole. The likes of Haupai Puha, Paul Hogan, Ryan de Vreede, Mikuru Suzuki and James Richardson will enter the Lakeside stage during the opening weekend, which will see the first round matches of the men's and ladies event being played.
From Monday April 4 the seeds enter the tournament. Monday's line-up features 14-year-old Luke Littler, Richard Veenstra and Brian Raman for their second round match. Cameron Menzies, Jules van Dongen and Wayne Warren make their appearance on Tuesday April 5.
The last matches of the second round of the men's tournament will be played on Wednesday April 6. The third round will start on Wednesday evening, while the last games of the second round of the ladies tournament are scheduled for Thursday April 7. The third round of the men's tournament will be completed on this day as well.
The quarter-finals take place on Friday April 8, followed by the semi-finals on Saturday April 9. The finals of all four events (men, women, boys and girls) are scheduled for Sunday April 10.
