What is the format?
The World Grand Prix is an annual PDC tournament which was founded in 1998. It is the fourth of the seven majors classified during the year and the longest television event on the calendar.
This is the only double start tournament of the PDC calendar, by which players must both start and finish on a double (or Bullseye). A player will only start scoring points in one leg only once he hit a double, with the value of the dots of the double count as the first dart.
It is a direct elimination tournament with a game format, where each set is challenged on the best of five legs.

Was there a new darter?
Brendan Dolan was the first player to launch a leg of nine plans at the World Grand Prix in 2011 in double start -up format.
The Northern Irishman, who adopted the nickname “The History Maker” after the tournament, struck the double 20, followed by six triples 20, Triple 17 and Bullseye to finish the perfect leg.
More history was made in 2014 when James Wade and Robert Thornton both launched nine eyeshadows in their second round confrontation.
