# 2020 PDC Home Tour 2

The 2020 Home Tour Event 2 was the second staging of the Home Tour tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation for players to play indoor tournaments at their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It began on 31 August 2020 and concluded on 20 October 2020. The tournament was open to the 70 lowest-ranked PDC Tour Card holders who entered, although the tournament also featured Top-32 players like Krzysztof Ratajski, Chris Dobey, Jonny Clayton, Stephen Bunting, Jermaine Wattimena, Jeffrey de Zwaan, Steve Beaton and Ricky Evans.
Future World Champion and the future world number one Luke Humphries won his first professional title in winning the 2020 Home Tour Event 2, as he won the final Championship Group. In a high-class and tight affair he won ahead of Jonny Clayton on leg-difference, with five wins each. Damon Heta, who hit an 118.96 average during the Championship Group matches, the highest in both PDC Home Tours, finished third in the Championship Group.

## Format

Beginning on 31 August 2020, seven Tour Card players would play against each other over the course of a day, with the top three from each day and the five best fourth-best players going into a last 35 stage, beginning on 30 September 2020.
In the second phase, the 35 players will again be put into groups of seven, where all players will play each other over one day. The top four in each group and the best fifth-placed player in the second phase will then move into a semi-final group stage taking place from 12 to 14 October, with the top two in each group and the best third-placed player moving forward to the Championship Group stage on 20 October, where the winner will become the champion.
In all phases, each match will be a best of 9 legs match, with the winner of each match getting two points on the table. Should there be a tie on points after all the matches, the leg difference will determine positions, should that also be equal, the result between the two players is taken into account. Should there be a three-way tie or more, the overall average of the players will then be taken into account.

## Phase One

NB: P = Played; W = Won; L = Lost; LF = Legs for; LA = Legs against; +/− = Plus/minus record, in relation to legs; Avg = Three-dart average in group matches; Pts = Group points
