The 2013 BetVictor World Matchplay was the 20th annual staging of the darts tournament, the World Matchplay, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The tournament took place from 20 to 28 July 2013 at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool.
Phil Taylor was the defending champion, having won the last five stagings of the event,[1] and he won his sixth consecutive World Matchplay title and 14th in total by defeating Adrian Lewis 18–13 in the final.[2] His average of 111.23 in the final is the highest ever in a World Matchplay final.[3]
For the first time since the 2009 Las Vegas Desert Classic, the top four players in the world all reached the semi-final stage.[citation needed]
Prize money
For the fifth consecutive World Matchplay, the prize fund was £400,000.[4]

Format
In the previous stagings of the event all games had to be won by two clear legs with no sudden-death legs. However, this year, after consulting the host broadcaster Sky Sports, the PDC decided that games will now only proceed for a maximum of six extra legs before a tie-break leg is required. For example, in a best of 19 legs first round match, if the score reaches 12–12 then the 25th leg will be the decider.[5]
Qualification
The top 16 in the PDC Order of Merit qualified as seeded players. The other 16 places went to the top 16 non-qualified players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit who are unseeded players.[6]
