Clemens and Schindler will be participating in the knockout round, which begins on Saturday and ends on Sunday evening with the final.
Following the completion of the group stage, the four seeded nations, England, Wales, Scotland, and the Netherlands, enter the tournament. Last year, Germany reached the semifinals but were eliminated by Scotland with Peter Wright and Gary Anderson. "If the solution and our game are on our side and we have momentum: What could possibly be in our way?", asked Schindler. In total, approximately 530,000 Euros in prize money will be awarded at the tournament, where 40 nations started.
