Kim Huybrechts has hit out at World Darts Championship organisers days before the main event of the season kicks off, claiming it’s ‘outrageous’ that a player must take to the oche twice on the opening night.

On Sunday, the excitement in north London will be rife when France’s Thibault Tricole faces Joe Comito of Australia to launch the Alexandra Palace action.
The winner of the clash will return to the illustrious stage hours later to meet last year’s champion and world No. 1, Luke Humphries, in the evening session.
Should The Hurricane overcome Barry, a glamorous second-round meeting with Gerwyn Price awaits the following day.

“I think it’s outrageous that they are doing this. Really outrageous, I don’t think that’s acceptable,” Huybrechts told the Double Top podcast.
