The 2024 World Seniors Darts Matchplay will be the third World Seniors Darts Matchplay organised by the World Seniors Darts Tour and will be held at the York Barbican in York, England, between 4–5 October 2024.
Leonard Gates is the defending champion after defeating Jim McEwan 9–6 in the 2023 final.[1]
As with the World Matchplay tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation, the Matchplay used the leg format, and the winner needing to be two legs clear at the winning post, with a game being extended if necessary for a maximum of six extra legs before a tie-break leg is required. For example, in a first to 8 legs first round match, if the score reaches 10–10 then the 21st leg will be the decider.
The first round and the quarter-finals were the best of 15 legs (or first to 8 legs), and the semi-finals and final were the best of 17 legs (or first to 9).
Prize money
The prize fund is expected to remain at £31,000, with the winner earning £10,000.[2]
