1999 World Grand Prix

Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **1999 World Grand Prix** was the second staging of the World Grand Prix darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and held at the Casino Rooms in Rochester, England between 20–24 October 1999.

The format changed to feature four groups of four players. As in the previous year, players had to start each leg by hitting a double - in addition to the traditional double to finish. The tournament was played in the format of best of five legs per set, rather than the best of three legs which had been adopted in 1998.

Phil Taylor was the defending champion after defeating Rod Harrington 13-8 in the final of the inaugural competition, and he retained the title by beating Shayne Burgess 6-1 in the final.

## Format

All matches were played as double in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, beginning with as well as finishing on either a double or the bullseye. Matches were played to set format, with each set being the best of five legs (first to three).

This is the only "double in" tournament on the PDC circuit, and along with the World Championship the only tournament which uses the set format.

The matches got longer as the tournament progressed:

 Semi-finals
 Final

### Group stage format

The format employed for this tournament meant that players could still qualify for the quarter-finals even if they lost either of their first two matches. The format was thus.

* Match 1: Player A v Player B
* Match 2: Player C v Player D
* Match 3: Winner of Match 1 v Winner of Match 2 (winner goes into quarter-finals)
* Match 4: Loser of Match 1 v Loser of Match 2 (loser eliminated)
* Match 5: Winner of Match 4 v Loser of Match 3 (winner goes into quarter-finals)

## Prize money

The prize fund remained at £38,000, with the winner earning £9,000.

 **Last 16 losers** | (4) | £1,000

## Qualifiers

As with the previous year, in this tournament, there were only 4 seeds out of the 16 players who participated.

1998 World Grand Prix

Darts tournamentTemplate:SHORTDESC:Darts tournament
The **1998 World Grand Prix** was the inaugural edition of the World Grand Prix darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and held at the Casino Rooms in Rochester, England between 14–18 October 1998. It was the first year of the tournament and replaced the World Pairs tournament, which ran from 1995–7.

The tournament featured an unusual format in that players must start each leg by hitting a double - in addition to the traditional double to finish. It also featured a format of the best of three legs per set (rather than five) for the only time in the tournament history, a format usually associated with BDO events such as the World Masters.

Phil Taylor took the inaugural title, beating world number one Rod Harrington 13–8 in the final.

## Format

All matches were played as double in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, beginning with as well as finishing on either a double or the bullseye. Matches were played to set format, with each set being the best of three legs (first to two). This would be the only time that a best of three legs format would be used.

This is the only "double in" tournament on the PDC circuit, and along with the World Championship the only tournament which uses the set format.

The matches remained the same length, until they were extended for the final:
