Re: Scottish Open

I am not saying it doesn`t. I am just saying cat A events do not have to have 32 seeds.

Re: Scottish Open

Firstly the Scottish Open does not have to have 32 seeds, it`s a maximum of 32 seeds, so they could well have only seeded 16 players. I honestly don`t know how many they had. They had 32, otherwise I wouldn't have brought up the 27-32 seeds. They're not hard to locate in the draw. In any case, the ...

Re: Scottish Open

Did half the seeds get to start in the last 1024 while the other half had to play last 2048 matches? Edit: On another note, shouldn't Phil Borthwick (BDO rankings #34) have been seeded for this at 27? Seeds 27-32 are all players ranked lower than him. Serioously Zeyes have you nothing better to do ...

Re: Scottish Open

again you fail to grasp that your opinions are based on nothing but how you think he "might do ". You could be right and he does well but its also possible he could be no better that other former bdo #1s like steve farmer and stuart kellet or even worse. Unless he actually switches we wil...

Re: Scottish Open

Maybe it was to do with a player having to register they were there at least an hour before their game.

Re: Should women's darts be shown on tv?

That isn`t a very realistic comparison Mack. What you have failed to mention is the number of men who didn`t qualify for the US mens trials because they were not quick enough or didn`t bother even trying because they were not quick enough. Most people in the world have at some stage of their lives h...

Re: Should women's darts be shown on tv?

Thanks for the sensible reply Mack firstly. Yes it is about accuracy but accuracy comes from strength of muscles and the training of the muscles needed. There is something that is referred to as `muscle memory`. The stronger the muscles the better this `memory` is retained enabling people to do som...

Re: Should women's darts be shown on tv?

the main problem is the women themselves. They whine and moan about not getting the respect they deserve ,, but do little to help themselves. Their standard is shocking, their games boring, and then we are forcefed the rubbish that it was good for a womans game, which is no excuse for poor darts. I...

Well done Jamie! Eurosport couldn't get out of there quick enough, never again As i said before, the BDO should probably focus on professional internet coverage instead of fragmented TV coverage with parts on free tv, parts on pay-tv and other parts not shown at all. Promote it on facebook and yout...

Re: BDO Daily Mirror World Trophy - Day 3 Discussion

As for the rubbish posted by some on the first page of this thread, don't forget Bateman is playing the world champion and the women's matches today have been excellent - why shouldn't they get the same coverage as men?! Why would anyone in the world want to watch a ladies game when the best that c...

Re: BDO Daily Mirror World Trophy - Day 2 Discussion

Some people have short memories. This is the first round. We saw some poor games also at the Lakeside. But then some crackers in the last 8. Let's see what today brings. I have no issue with the standard of the mens darts. What are you saying Col!!!! Some of them have been worse than some of the la...

Re: BDO Daily Mirror World Trophy - Day 2 Discussion

Off to Blackpool this afternoon. Wintergardens, Wetherspoons, Coral island and the Tower! Will be interesting to see how Trina plays and the standard of the ladies game comes across when watching live. The two players l wanted to see (Adams, Kong: for different reasons) are on last so having to tra...
