Lakeside 2024 sees both Men’s and Women’s first round completes on Monday, 2nd December, with Tonight seeing the return of the legendary Paul Lim to Lakeside for the first time in more than thirty years.
Singapore’s 70-year-old icon will be looking to recap his nine-dart magic from 1990 against Moreno Blom at the start of a session that will also feature Deta Hedman and Australian duo Brandon Weening and Peter Machin.
Beau Greaves will begin her title defence on Tuesday evening against either Amanda Loch or Kirsi Viinikainen. That game is part of a stellar session also set to feature 2022 Men’s World Champion Neil Duff and the new Men’s WDF World No.1, Jimmy van Schie.
Quarter-Final action in the Boys tournament begins on Thursday, with the semi-final lineups for all four World Championships being confirmed on a bumper Friday.
Saturday, 7th December, the first of two days broadcast live and uninterrupted on BLAZE, will be ‘Semi-Final Saturday’, with the finalists in the Girls’, Boys’, Women’s and Men’s tournaments being determined ahead of four World Champions being crowned on Sunday, 8th December.
