The 2014 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship is the 37th World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation, and the 29th staging at the Lakeside Country Club at Frimley Green.
Scott Waites is the defending men's champion, having won the title for the first time in the 2013 championship. The defending women's champion is Anastasia Dobromyslova, who won her third title in 2013.
This tournament sees the biggest ever field for a BDO world championships. 56 players - 40 men, up from 32 in 2013, and 16 women - up for 8 in 2013 - will compete for the world titles.
Players from around the globe compete to reach the BBC and ESPN televised finals, which run from 4 to 12 January at Frimley Green.
Format and qualifiers
Men's
The televised stages feature 40 players - an increase from 32 in previous years. The top 16 players in the BDO Invitational Rankings over the 2012/13 season are seeded for the tournament. Players who finish between 17th and 24th in the invitational rankings receive a bye into the last 32. The remaining 16 players enter in the preliminary rounds - this includes recent world champions not in the top 24, a qualifier from each of the eight WDF regions, four players who came through the pre-qualifying knockout tournament, and the Winmau World Masters winner (if not already qualified). Should there be fewer than 40 players qualified after the above process, the next unqualified player from the invitational rankings will be entered until the total reaches 40.[1]
