Prize money The prize money was increased to £300,000 for the men's event and £29,000 for the women's event. There is a £52,000 bonus for hitting a
Nine-dart finish in both versions of the tournament.
Men's The televised stages feature 40 players – an increase from 32 in previous years. The top 16 players in the
BDO Invitational Rankings over the 2012/13 season are seeded for the tournament. Players who finish between 17th and 24th in the invitational rankings receive a bye into the last 32. The remaining 16 players enter in the preliminary rounds – this includes recent world champions not in the top 24, a qualifier from each of the eight WDF regions, four players who came through the pre-qualifying knockout tournament, and the
Winmau World Masters winner (if not already qualified). Should there be fewer than 40 players qualified after the above process, the next unqualified player from the invitational rankings will be entered until the total reaches 40.
Women's The televised stages feature 16 players, an increase from 8 in previous years. The top 8 players in the
WDF/BDO rankings over the 2012/13 season are seeded for the tournament.
