Littler spoke about the unique format ahead of the World Grand Prix.
He said: “Obviously, it [this event] is the next big one… I’ll be honest, I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the double start.
“I think it’s obviously one of the toughest tournaments to win, with the Worlds, the Matchplay, the Premier League.
“But the double start: if you don’t get off, then you’re in trouble.
“I can’t say I really practice the double start often, but obviously leading up to it I think I’ll have to, just get used to it.
“Every year we’ll see someone hit a treble 20 first out and then they forget… it’ll be tough but we’ve still got plenty of darts to play.”
