Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no events were held on the World Series of Darts between the 2019 and 2020 finals.[5] Instead of the standard rules of the top 8 players on the World Series Order of Merit being seeded, the PDC invited the eight top-ranked players in the PDC Order of Merit to make up the seeds. Twelve more players were invited unseeded (consisting of the next 4 players on the Order of Merit, plus players representing the regions of the world where the events were due to take place), with the final four players being determined by a qualifier for Tour Card holders held on 11 September at H+ Hotel, Niedernhausen, Germany.[1]
Kyle Anderson was originally invited, but withdrew for personal reasons. Glen Durrant replaced him.[6] Gary Anderson was originally invited as the eighth seed, but also withdrew, with James Wade moving into the seeded places and Krzysztof Ratajski receiving an invitation.[7]
