Indeed. A favoured double of double 14 and recording a nine darter in the Bulls Super League (Eastern Europe) in the unconventional way of T20, T20, Bull, T20, T20, Bull, T20, T17, Bull.
Should be expecting a fine for his performance today.
Round 2 onwards, the final set of a match needs to be won by two clear legs. If it is 5 legs all, the 11th leg will be sudden death.
Examples from the 2022 World Championships:
Second Round: Stephen Bunting VS Ross Smith
2 sets all heading into the fifth set (best of 5 sets)
Final set is won by Ross Smith 4-2.
Third Round: Gerwyn Price VS Kim Huybrechts
3 sets all heading into the final set (best of 7 sets). Gerwyn Pirce wins the last set, 6 legs to 5 legs in sudden death.

Bit of a rush job on this last night in order to get the form out. Going to make some amendments, just working on it again now. Will just amend the original post.
I've only received Kevin's entry, he's generally the quickest to respond anyway so I was never a chance of putting something out and not having anyone reply
Gary Anderson will be defending his runners up prize money from 2021 (£200,000) and will need a deep run to hold onto his position within the top 16. This and the money received as a 2022 Semi Finalist account for 73.04% of his earnings for the last two years.

An extra tool I thought may help. Player averages for the past 1 and 3 months, sorted by groupings amongst each section of the draw. Averages aren't the be all and end all, but it's an indicator of form, which probably helps when working out which of the lesser lights to select.

2019: Third Round

2021: Second Round
2022: First Round
7 wins from 11 matches at the World Championships with wins over World Champions such as Raymond Van Barneveld and Steve Beaton whilst his losses have been against Adrian Lewis, Michael Van Gernwen, Simon Whitlock and Mike De Decker. Qualified as the Nordic and Baltic representative whereas over the past three editions he has qualified via the Pro Tour Order of Merit. Will need to improve on his yearly average and power scoring if he ends up facing Ross Smith, given Ross’s current form over the last few televised events.
