The reigning champion finally gets his campaign going at the Lakeside as carpenter Scott Waites, probably the sport's greatest part-timer, aims to match Martin Adams' 3 BDO world titles. Scotty 2 Hotty is in the final match of the evening with the incredibly slow barge named "S.S Dennis Harbour" in his way. If Scotty starts dreaming about repairing doors in Todmorden and Batley while waiting for Harbour to leave the oche, he could be back to the hammer and chisel quicker than he expected.
The afternoon has a trio of Dutchmen as Lakeside first timer Danny Noppert, best remembered for his excellent Grand Slam performance where he took then-PDC World Champion Gary Anderson to a last leg shootout, plays Canada's David Cameron. 2016 semifinalist Richard Veenstra aims to send enraged Scottish midget Ross Montgomery out in round 1 for the seventh time in 10 appearances, and the BDO's longest serving Dutch jobber Wesley Harms is against Krzysztof Ratajski.
In the women's draw, three time champion Anastasia Dobromyslova and three time final choker Deta Hedman start their tournaments against Wales' Rhian Griffiths and slurper Casey Gallagher respectively.
Coverage starts at 12:05pm on Channel 4 before switching to BT Sport 1 at 6:45pm.
All matches are best of 5 sets except women's matches (best of 3 sets). Women's matches are in greentext.

Jesus christ. The one tournament in the whole year that you could potentially profit from and you lose first round and you are out of pocket from travel costs alone

Because anyone with an ounce of talent moves to the PDC as you can earn a fuckload more money.
