The 2022 Lakeside WDF World Championship will be the first World Championship organised by the World Darts Federation. The tournament will be held at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey, which hosted the now-defunct BDO World Darts Championship from 1986 to 2019.

The WDF made the decision to postpone the tournament by three months, due to growing concerns and potential government restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.[1]

Format and qualifiers

Qualifying criteria is as follows (cut-off date 4 December 2021):

  • 1) Top 16 players in WDF World Rankings (seeded)
  • 2) Latest winners of the eleven Platinum/Gold ranked tournaments (World Championship, World Masters (later cancelled), Dutch Open, Scottish Open, England Open, Denmark Open, British Open, Welsh Open, Seacoast Open, Irish Open, World Open (later cancelled))
  • 3) First and second ranked players from each of eight regional tables (Australia, Canada, East Europe, New Zealand, North Europe, UK/Ireland, USA, West Europe)
  • 4) Next highest ranked players in the WDF World Rankings to bring the total entry list to 44
  • 5) Two qualifiers from the final qualification tournament in Assen, Netherlands on 5 December 2021
  • 6) Two qualifiers from the final qualification tournament in Frimley Green, England on 5 December 2021

Seeded players begin the competition in the second round. The remaining 32 qualifiers will start in the first round.[6][7]

The top 16 men in the world rankings that accept their invitations will be seeded into the second round. The provisional list of seeds and invited players is as follows:[8]

  1. ^ a b c d e Jim Williams (WDF ranked 2, UK/Ireland ranked 2) and Chris Landman (WDF ranked 16) withdrew to play in the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship. Aleksei Kadochnikov (WDF ranked 17) and Antony Allen (WDF ranked 18) replaced them as seeds, while their places in the tournament were filled by the next highest ranked unqualified players from the WDF rankings, Ian Jones and Jim McEwan
  2. ^ Aleksei Kadochnikov is Russian, but will compete as a neutral competitor after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a ban on Russia competing at World Championships. The ban was implemented by the World Anti-Doping Agency in response to state-sponsored doping program of Russian athletes.[9][8]
  3. ^ Australia region No.1 ranked Raymond Smith withdrew to play in 2022 PDC World Darts Championship. His place was offered to number 3 ranked Donovan Lottering, who also declined his invite, thus he was replaced by 4th ranked Justin Thompson
  4. ^ a b c Shawn Burt, Rory Hansen and Matt Campbell finished joint second in the Canada regional table. The WDF decided to invite all three players to the championships, a total of four from the table.[10][7] Campbell later withdrew to play in the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship. As players ranked below 4 in the regional tables could not be invited, he was replaced by the next highest ranked unqualified player from the WDF rankings, Dave Prins.
  5. ^ New Zealand region number 1 ranked Ben Robb withdrew to play in the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship. Second ranked player Warren Parry also declined his invitation. They were replaced by Haupai Puha and Landon Gardiner, ranked 3 and 4 in the New Zealand table respectively[8]
  6. ^ a b c Having initially accepted invitations to compete, North Europe number 1 Roman Obukhov, Australia number 2 Jeremy Fagg and New Zealand number 4 Landon Gardiner withdrew. They were replaced by alternates based on the WDF world rankings: WDF 38 Kevin Luke, 40 Jordan Brooks and 41 Shaun McDonald. 37th ranked Ben Robb and number 39 Raymond Smith had already rejected their invitations.[11]
