Taking place at the BOK Gerevich Aladár Nemzeti Sportcsarnok in Budapest between Wednesday 9th October and Sunday 13th October, the World Masters carries a total prize fund of more than €50,000.
Hotel bookings and entries can now be made through the dedicated booking website that has been created in conjunction with the Hungarian Darts Federation and their travel partners, Festival Travel.
Hotel Packages
Festival Travel has provided several great hotels to choose from on the website. These are the major partner hotels of the tournament where most players will stay and will therefore provide a great social hub for visitors to Hungary.
By default, the packages and prices available for each hotel are for five days, checking in on Tuesday, October 8th and checking out on Sunday, October 13th. Incorporated into the costs (which start at €90 per person, per night), are transfers to and from the airport to your selected hotel, and transfers between the hotel and the playing venue for each day of the tournament.
Should you need to book additional days at your hotel, you will have the ability to do this during the booking process or should you need a more bespoke package, this can be requested and customised directly with Festival Travel using the form at the bottom of the website homepage.
Lunch and dinner packages are also available to book through the website.
Tournament Entries
The website also allows all players to enter the tournaments they wish to enter. Entries for all three tournaments detailed below will close on Monday, September 30th.
The World Masters is only open to invited players.
Before entering the World Masters, please ensure you are on the list of qualified players. A full list is available on the WDF website and this list will be regularly updated until entries close on Monday, September 30th.
For administrative purposes, the WDF has introduced a small entry fee of €10 for all players that enter the World Masters.
The World Masters is not the only tournament being run during what should be five fantastic days of tungsten action in Budapest.
The World Open is now a Gold-ranked tournament, offering automatic spots at the 2024 WDF World Championships to the adult winners, and valuable points for the ranking tables.
The World Championship Qualifiers, which will see 12 players seal their places at Lakeside across the Men’s, Women’s, Boys and Girls tournaments, are also scheduled to take place between October 9th-13th.
Entries to both the World Open (€40 for Adults, €20 for Youth) and World Championship Qualifiers (€40 for Adults, €20 for Youth) are also now open and will remain so until Monday, September 30th.
