The world's top darts players will take part in a 32-night competition from within their homes to entertain fans starved of live sports during the Covid-19 pandemic. All players with a Professional Darts Corp tour card can participate in the event, which will be launched tomorrow and made available to fans via video calls from competitors' homes. "It gives me great satisfaction that we are able to deliver live darts to fans in these unprecedented times," PDC chairman Barry Hearn said. "The event will give players a chance to play competitive darts in this down period in preparation for the return to normal action." The competition will be live-streamed on PDC Television to all registered users without any charge as well as on several bookmakers' websites.
