The tournaments final featured the numbers one and two in the world, which was only for the second time in the history of the World Championship this had happened.

On his way to the finale Lowe defeated Bobby George, Dave Lee, Cliff Lazarenko and Jocky Wilson only loosing one set in the process. Bristow also only lost one set in his journey to the final in wins over Tony Payne, Rick Ney, Lars Erik Karlsson and Alan Evans, proving that these two players were the best in darts this year.
