STEFFEN Siepmann will take part in the 2022 Interwetten PDC Europe Super League after being granted a wild card spot.
The event will be broadcast live on PDCTV from November 7-11, as Germany’s top stars battle it out for a place in the 2022/23 Cazoo World Darts Championship.
The tournament will return to the screens of darts fans for a third successive year, as 24 of Germany’s hottest talents compete across five days at the H+ Hotel in Niedernhausen.
The top 16 players of the 2021 PDC Europe Super League return for this year’s event, including European Tour winner Max Hopp, 2020 champion Nico Kurz and last year’s runner-up Florian Hempel.
2021 champion Martin Schindler will not be taking part as the German number two has already secured qualification for the World Championship via the PDC ProTour Order of Merit.
A further nine players have been invited to the tournament as PDC Europe wild cards, including recent Players Championship semi-finalist Ricardo Pietreczko and former PDC Tour Card Holder Steffen Siepmann.
The tournament will be played on up to four boards simultaneously with selected matches broadcast live on Sport1 in Germany (online live stream) and on PDCTV where English commentary will be available on Finals Day, which will see all matches broadcast live.

The first two days of action will see players compete in four groups of six over the best of 11 legs. Players will be awarded one point per win, with any ties being split by the following criteria:
1. Leg-difference
2. Legs won
3. Head-to-head
4. DartConnect average
5. Tie-break match (best of 11 legs)
When all players within the preliminary round groups have played each other twice, the bottom two players in each group will be eliminated.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the 16 remaining players will be drawn into two groups of eight in the same round-robin format, with all players playing each other twice before the top four players in each group qualify for the quarter-finals.
The quarter-finals, semi-finals and will be played on Friday November 11 as the race to Ally Pally reaches its climax.
