Please note all times could be subject to change.

Please note that the WDF Meeting will start at 13.00 and not 14.00 as previously advised. The Team Managers Meeting will start immediately after the WDF Meeting has finished.

It is important for the smooth running of the tournament that ALL Team Managers attend the Team Managers Meeting which is scheduled after the conclusion of the WDF General Meeting.

There are will be new procedures at this World Cup and it is important that ALL Team Managers are informed and that they pass this information on to their players.

Teams which do not have a Team Manager are advised to send at least one player to the meeting.

Live streaming from the event is under negotiation. Details will be announced shortly.

The Japan Sports Federation of Darts website at: http://worldcup-darts.jp will provide additional information as we approach the start of the World Cup.

As usual the WDF website www.dartswdf.com will be updating constantly throughout the duration of the cup.

I look forward to seeing you all in Kobe.

Kind regards

Roy Price WDF Tournament Director
