Match fixing allegations
Five days after the tournament concluded, the PDC revealed that the organisation had received complaints concerning the Group H match between Darryl Fitton and Gary Anderson, and forwarded those complaints to the Darts Regulation Authority.[2] On 26 January 2009 it was announced that there was no evidence of player collusion in the arranging of match outcomes.[3]
