More than half of all seeds (nine out of 16) did lose their first match, thus resulting in the most seeds crashed out in a European Tour Event after the second round (since the adaption of 16 seeds in the second round in 2014) till the 2019 Czech Darts Open which then saw 11 out of 16 seeds lost in their opening match.
