00:17players in the game will be competing here at Aldersley Stadium. They'll be

00:22playing three group games each and then each the top two from that group

00:26will head through to knockout stages. By next Sunday the 17th there'll be one

00:30person who will walk away with the winner's check and the Eric Bristow

00:33trophy. It's a big week in the darts calendar here in Wolverhampton. It's also

00:37a big week for the city of Wolverhampton because it brings lots of people in from
