In the third year of the Euro Tour there are eight tournaments in the series. Gibraltar, The Netherlands and Austria each get one stop and Germany is visited no less than five times. The format is changed this year, all games are played on one stage and only 48 players compete in the main event. In the first round 32 qualifiers play against each other. Twenty from Britain and the rest of the world, eight from mainland Europe and four from the host country. In the second round, the best 16 players from the Players Championship Order of Merit join the tournament.
The European Darts Grand Prix 2014 was played from 5 to 7 September. The tournament name is new, but the venue certainly is not. In the previous two years Sindelfingen has hosted three EuroTour events. After three lost Euro Tour finals Mervyn King finally wins one. He beats Michael Smith in the final and grabs his first Euro Tour title. Seven EuroTour tournaments this year have produced seven different winners.
