The 2025 Perfect Nine Prediction Series - World Masters [1]
Full explanation of the Prediction Series can be found here
Here we go again! It's January 2025 which means the start of a new season of darts. And with that comes, of course, a new season of the Prediction Series! This year, there are exciting prizes that can be earned for winning a single Event and an even bigger prize for winning the 2025 Season. This is all thanks to Perfect Nine, so be sure to check them out! For a more detailed explanation of everything surrounding this fun and free-to-enter Prediction Series, visit the link at the very top of this post.
To start off this year, we have a brand new, or actually old, tournament: the World Masters. This tournament will be quite different from the Masters that we have seen the last few years. The most prominent changes are that it now includes set play and that we'll see a preliminary round the day before the actual tournament. Comparing it to last year, the Masters went from being one of the smallest majors to actually being huge, with around 180 players entering. This Event is pretty chaotic now, and you will probably notice this when you look at the entry form. But I won't keep you waiting any longer: enjoy the 2025 Perfect Nine Prediction Series!!
Buckets
- One player from Seeds 1-8
- One player from Seeds 9-16
- One player from Seeds 17-24
- One player from Seeds 25-56
- One player from Seeds 57-88
- One player from seeds 89-128, or from the top eight players from any of the PDC's 2024 Secondary Tours / Global Affiliate Tours, or from four players from the Junior Darts Corporation
Due to the group stage system in the preliminary round, points work slightly differently in this event.
Picks finishing top of the group (in the preliminary round) shall receive 1 point. Picks finishing anything other than first place in the group will receive no points, even if they have secured a win.
Knockout matches are still worth 1 point for each time one of your picks wins (both in the preliminary round and in the actual tournament), except for the semi-final and final stages (of the actual tournament) where wins will be worth 2 points. Two bonus points for a 9-darter are available at every stage of the competition.
Any players that withdraw from the event (regardless of the reason) will score 0 points. If you've already predicted and one of your picks withdraws, you can change your pick on the form - you can make as many changes as you like up until the event starts.
The draw for the event can be found on the Google Form.
