Twenty-seven points are awarded to the champion of each its three Major Events - The Lakeside World Professional Championship, The Bavaria World Darts Trophy and the Winmau World Masters. Lower points are awarded for each round of the tournament reached. Other events are placed into Category A+, A, B, C and D based on the prize-pool and number of payouts, with points for placings slowly decreasing.[2] Only the best 12 placings are added for the players ranking that define seedings and qualification for events it stages.
