World champion Luke Littler surprisingly lost in the round of 16 on Saturday, missing the chance to reach the number one spot in the PDC Order of Merit. Littler lost to James Wade 7-10.
The tournament takes place from October 23 to 26 at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund. The top 32 players from the European Tour, as listed in the European Tour Order of Merit, are participating.
It is only unofficially called the “European Championship” because players from other continents are also allowed. In 2012, Australian Simon Whitlock won the major.
