Who are the favorites, what are the German expectations in “Eli Pauly”? The Darts pageant starting on Tuesday is slightly different from previous years.
Last year champion: “Snakebite” Peter Wright.

Biggest Christmas Party Party! The Darts World Championship, to which costumed fans prefer to appear as Homer Simpson or Queen Elizabeth, has recently been repeatedly titled at Alexandra Palace. Due to Corona, the darts tournament, which has been established as a collective event, will have to be different from this year.
Are the audience allowed in the “collaborative rally”?
Should 1000 viewers per season appear in Eli Pauly, ticket allocation was strictly regulated. Tickets were only given to people from homes in less badly affected areas in Great Britain. Discs and loud spells, which are part of the Darts World Championship appearance, like arrow tips, are not allowed. The initial “no” for the period from 16 to 23 December came on Monday.
What are the chances of German participants?
So far, Germany is still waiting for its first participant in World Cup 16. As in 2020, the trio Gabriel Clemens, Max Hope and Nico Kurz qualified this time. Clemens and Kurz could meet in Round Two if Kurz mastered his work against former World Cup finalist Andy Hamilton. This is the first time for Hope against unknown Australian Gordon Mathers. All German starters have firmly determined their place in the third round, and are likely to advance every step in view of strong competition.
Who are your favorites?
On top of a trio around Scotland’s defending winner Peter Wright, who are being challenged by Dominar Michael van Geren (Netherlands) and former Wales rugby professional Jerwin Price. Wright and Price can also ensure that “Mighty Mike” loses its top spot in the world rankings for the first time in seven years. Behind the favorite trio, a surprise is expected for Belgium’s Dimitri van Ber Berg and Portuguese Jose de Susa. As former world champions, Rob Cross and Adrian Lewis (both of England), as well as Gary Anderson (Scotland) are on debut. The latter is currently in corona quarantine, participation is possible only in the event of negative corona tests.
Is Fallen Sherlock eligible again?
No. The 26-year-old Englishwoman barely qualified this year. Last year he made history with two wins over Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic. Instead of Sherlock, his compatriots Lisa Ashton and Data Hedman qualified for the 2021 World Cup.
