It's too late for the senior players to introduce any sort of restriction or ban on alcohol.

The development tour can be though, and hope some of the younger players can see that they don't need excess Alcohol to play and carry that on into the pro tour, but I doubt the majority of them will.

If it was September 2011 the 4 PC events were won by:

Barney
Anderson
Anderson
Burnett

So of them I'd say Richie was unseeded?

Who was the last?

I'm Guessing Steve Farmer???

Shouldn't make any difference as all the players should be up for this today.

First event of the year for most of them and some decent money on offer.

Don't know about a great night of darts - it was certainly better than last weeks. One point wasn't enough for Bunting, he's now out of the running. Taylor was up for the match against Chizzy, but chucked away a point in the second match which could prove vital in a few weeks. Lewis did what he had ...

Rowby is listed twice

It's the company that set up all the PDC stage & floor events

Thanks for that Bram - maybe they need to start putting these on the same weekends as either the Challenge or Youth tours (obviously different venues - maybe 1 in Barnsley and the other in Crawley) Not practical - SES will have to have 48 match cubicles as well as another dozen practise boards yet ...

Taylor will always be favourite for the Matchplay and Grand Slam especially when it gets the best of 17+ legs

MvG will be favourite everywhere else but as Jenkins, RvB and Anderson has shown if you can get a decent start and weather the storm midway through the game he is beatable.

If the above is correct 86th?!?

Defending less and being more consistent than those around him.

Stephen Bunting 4-7 Dave Chisnall Raymond van Barneveld 6-6 James Wade Phil Taylor 6-6 Michael van Gerwen Gary Anderson 7-4 Adrian Lewis Kim Huybrechts 4-7 Peter Wright Highest Average - Taylor Lowest Average - Wade Highest Checkout - Chisnall Tie Break (number of 180s) - 27 Darts wanted if win - 27...

I believe Lorraine Winstanley came runner up in an East Mids comp the other week, defeating Jabba in the semi's!

On their day the women can play just as good as some of the men!

You're confusing darts with turns. Each player would have completed 5 turns but player a had thrown 13 darts and player b 15 darts.

The suggestion is that only darts thrown count to the average not keep throwing until each player uses the same darts number of darts.

Same with players who say go S2 when left with 18 and their opponent is on >170.

When you do dart by dart averages the S18 etc is not counted as a double attempt

From what I saw it was ok - they need next time celebrities that have thrown a dart before rather than the Offiah's and Mortimer's who didn't look like they had picked one up before.

If it raises a few pounds for charity I'd rather they do that than show repeats.

The same question was raised about if you hit your D16 in one or three darts shouldn't you still be on 100% for doubles because you haven't actually missed unless you have missed all 3?!?!

The pro's tonight didn't look comfortable and Vine was playing for the townhall steps, so not a lot of jokes as a result but Tim Vine can play, if Fitton can turn it on they will win it.

Probably do but - the expenses would be a tad too much even for me!

We're spoilt over here with the amount of professional darts on our door step. If most of us lived over there I'm sure, exhibition or not, we would be going to see it. Very similar to the NFL a few years ago, a couple of the teams came over for a pre season game, the fans supported it and now there'...
