Finder Italian Grand Masters 05-06 November

[simonbals]

This year the Italian Grand Masters has a sponsor, thus bigger prize money, Category C and not D for the BDO rankings, and some big names are going to play.

I will update my website with results and stats during the weekend, and I hope we will be able to do a streaming on Sunday for the single tournament.

Here you can find the entry list, not bad at all

Will the draws be fixed?

Ouch, I almost forgot about this:

The forum's favourite woman darts players will be in Italy this weekend

Will the draws be fixed?

Ahahah I hope not, I will be checking that they use the right seeding. I can't honestly do much more.

How many points does the ladies event hold?

54 entries and only 9 from outside of Italy seems poor, no wonder people desperate for points are making the trip

Should be easy to fix the draw so no non-Italians play each other in the first round, then.

Both tournaments are category C.
Thus for the Men Singles the points are: 18 15 12 9 6 3
For the Women Singles: 21 18 15 12

So 2 wins against local players and its an easy 12 points (assuming the draw is seeded). Nothing against this event but there is a massive flaw in the point structure in some of these events. You shouldnt be able to qualify for lakeside by just picking the right events to go to.

Actually is a lot easier if you take into account that 4 of them are the 4 seeds of the tournament

Hey, you are wrong if you think that winning two matches against italian players is easy!





No, I'm joking. I agree with you, the points structure doesn't seem really to work.

You're right, they should make all the locals play each other first round to avoid this possibility.

Unfortunately they have used the wdf ranking for the seeding of the single tournament but no one has complained yet...

Not sure what they will be showing, presumably the semis and finals, but there will be a stream here from approx 5pm UK time

Wolfie on the stream now - believe it is a last 16 game

Can clearly see Adams is struggling lost 6-1 to Harms with a 19 average, definitely having an effect on him
