The competition was organised and held by the Professional Darts Corporation, with the 2013 edition having a prize fund over £200,000. The format of the tournament is similar to the Premier League Darts tournament, also organized by the PDC, except it is contested by a larger pool of players who are split up into a number of groups. Phil Taylor was the defending champion and won his fourth Championship League title with a 6–3 defeat over Michael van Gerwen in the final.http://www1.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/8217993/phil-taylor-defeats-simon-whitlock-to-win-championship-league-darts-title Phil Taylor defeats Simon Whitlock to win Championship League Darts title Sky Sports 23 September 2013http://www1.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/8989689/championship-league-darts-phil-taylor-beats-michael-van-gerwen-6-3-in-final Championship League Darts: Phil Taylor beats Michael Van Gerwen 6–3 in final Sky Sports 25 October 2013 Format The first group consists of the top eight players from the PDC Order of Merit. These eight players will play each other over the course of a day, receiving two points for each win. All matches were contested over a maximum of 11 legs with a player winning the match on reaching six legs. After all players play each other, the four players with the most points will progress to the semi-finals with the winners of those matches progressing into the final. The winner of the final advances to the winners group which will take place at the end of the competition. The runner-up, losing semi-finalists and the players finishing fifth and sixth move into group two, where they will be joined by the next three players in the Order of Merit. The format of the second group was the same as the first group with players moving into the third group. In total there are eight groups before the final group takes place. This format ensures that all players who do not win the group or finish in the last two positions have another chance to qualify for the winners group.http://www.pdc.tv/championship-league-darts/article/zmuahplt35721f6a79toes18d/title/championship-league-darts-groups Championship League Darts Groups PDC 23 September 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130928071021/http://www.pdc.tv/championship-league-darts/article/zmuahplt35721f6a79toes18d/title/championship-league-darts-groups 28 September 2013 dead dmy-all Prize money The Championship League Darts awards prize money per leg won, as well as to the eventual winner, runner-up and semi-finalists of the entire tournament.
