[1] David Cameron became the inaugural champion after defeating Phil Taylor 6–3 in the final.
Cameron's victory was even more remarkable, as he had to win a qualifier to enter this event, and if he had won his first match at the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship (incidentally held at the same venue), he wouldn't have been able to take part in the qualifier.
The prize fund of £31,000 was announced in January, but that was before the tournament expanded to 20 players.
[3] On 13 February, the numbers of entrants was increased to 20, and an extra day was added to tournament,[4] with two players qualifying via qualifiers at Reading on 9–10 April, along with the highest non-qualified player on the World Series Tour Order of Merit, with the final player being decided by a fans vote on the WSDT's social media channels.
BT Sport aired the tournament in the United Kingdom, and Sport1 broadcast it in Germany.
