The common European Tour darts marketing campaign concludes this weekend with the Elten Security Sneakers German Darts Championship.
The highest 32 gamers within the season-long rankings will qualify for the European Championship in Dortmund from October 23-26, with Joe Cullen – at present thirty fifth within the standings – needing to succeed in not less than the last-16 in Hildesheim to have any likelihood of constructing the finale.
Peter Wright received the German Darts Championship in 2024 after beating Luke Littler 8-5 within the closing and begins his title defence towards both Ricardo Pietreczko or Radek Szaganski in spherical two on Saturday afternoon.
Newly-crowned World Grand Prix champion Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson have opted out of this weekend’s event.
