BIG time darts continues TONIGHT as Premier League Darts heads to Glasgow for night two.
The likes of Luke Littler, Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen will all be vying to win Premier League Darts in May.
But first, they’ve got to get past 17 nights of action across the UK and Europe before heading to London in May.
Like most of the tour calendar, you have to win a certain number of legs to win the match.
Unlike the PDC World Championship, it is impossible that you could win more legs than your opponent, but still exit the tournament by losing more sets.
SunSport have the lowdown on all things format, tiebreaks and sudden death legs.
What is the Premier League Darts format?
The first 16 rounds of the tournament will see seven matches per night, with each match being best-of-11 legs, or first to six legs.
The number of legs needed to win increases as the tournament reaches its conclusion where the first person to win the most legs out of 21 (first to 11) will win the entire tournament.
- Nights one to 16: Best of 11 legs (first to six)
- Semi-final: Best of 19 legs (first to 10)
- Final: Best of 21 legs (first to 11)
When is there a tiebreak and sudden death?
During Premier League Darts, there are no tiebreaks or sudden death legs.
Whoever reaches six legs first is the victor.
We saw a great example of this during Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler’s clash last week, as Mighty Mike edged out a close contest 6-5 against the teenage sensation.
