The format changed to feature four groups of four players. As in the previous year, players had to start each leg by hitting a double - in addition to the traditional double to finish. The tournament was played in the format of best of five legs per set, rather than the best of three legs which had been adopted in 1998. Phil Taylor retained the title, beating Shayne Burgess 6–1 in the final. Taylor's only close match came in the semi-finals, where he defeated Rod Harrington 5–4.
