Format of the 2024 Darts World Championship

If the number to complete is odd, hitting an odd number before the double is enough.

The first player to reach zero wins a leg, and the player who wins three legs wins a set. The best of five sets will be played in the first and second-round matches. The third round and round of 16, the best of seven sets will be played. The quarterfinal matches will be the best of nine sets. The semifinals will be played in the best of eleven sets.
