Session times, not fixed match times
Kenny’s match is second in Friday’s afternoon programme, which starts at noon BST. Saturday’s evening session begins at 6pm BST; Price is listed first and Clayton sixth. Those are running orders, not guaranteed individual start times. The PDC says the schedule is subject to change, and the host-nation opponent in Clayton’s path has not yet been named.
The final European Tour stop
The event runs at MECC Maastricht from 16 to 18 October. It is the last European Tour tournament before the top 32 on that tour’s rankings qualify for the European Championship in Dortmund. Sunday has the last 16 in the afternoon, followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in the evening. No tournament legs have been played, so current-event averages, 180s and checkout figures are not yet available.
