2005	2006

The 2005 888.com Premier League was the first season of the Premier League Darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation.

Phil Taylor, Colin Lloyd, Peter Manley, John Part, Roland Scholten, Wayne Mardle and wildcard entrant Mark Dudbridge were the seven players who competed in a round-robin tournament which had a total prize fund of £140,000 – with £50,000 going to the eventual winner.

Format

The Premier League started in Stoke-on-Trent on 20 January 2005 before moving around the country. The league system the players play each other twice over 12 legs, with two points for a win and one for a draw. All 12 legs were played regardless of whether a result had already been achieved. Phil Taylor achieved two 11–1 wins, although the last few legs were irrelevant to the match result. Legs played in these circumstances were known as 'dead legs'.

Venues

For the inaugural Premier League Darts event, all 11 venues used were in England.
