The BDO World Championship heads to Indigo at The O2 for the first time, and you can follow the latest results and fixtures from both competitions here.
After 33 consecutive years at Lakeside, the BDO’s show-piece tournament has been relocated to within London’s O2 Arena complex as the elite men and women battle to claim the BDO’s most prestigious prize.
The men’s competition sees the top 16 players from the BDO ranking list seeded in the First Round draw and joined by the players ranked 17-24, while regional table qualifiers and those ranked 25-27 enter in the Preliminary Round.
Glen Durrant picked up his third consecutive BDO world title at Lakeside last January but will not be present to defend his title following his switch to the PDC.
Wesley Harms is seeded number one ahead of World Trophy winner Jim Williams, while former champions Scott Mitchell and Scott Waites and former PDC world finalist Andy Hamilton are also among the seeds.
Thirteen year-old Leighton Bennett, the reigning BDO World Youth Champion, will make his senior debut as the number 18 in the rankings, while three-time champion Martin Adams returns to the line-up aged 63.
The Ladies draw sees four-time World Champion Lisa Ashton seeded number one ahead of reigning World Champion Mikuru Suzuki.
Last year’s beaten finalist Lorraine Winstanley is aiming to go one set further, while Russia’s Anastasia Dobromyslova eyes a fourth world title.
Emerging star Beau Greaves will make her debut aged 15, while world number two Fallon Sherrock’s late withdrawal from the competition means she is replaced by Sweden’s Vicky Pruim.
The tournament runs from January 4-12 at Indigo at The O2 Arena in London.
Men’s Preliminary Round and First Round matches are to be contested over the best of five sets, with Second Round ties best of seven, Quarter-Finals best of nine, Semi-Finals best of 11 and the final best of 13.
All women’s matches up to and including the Semi-Finals are to be contested over the best of three sets, while the final is best of five sets. All sets are the best of five legs.
