Proof to how biased this place is, no wonderful, no Ringworm, no Ginge, no ssaja..........just the BDO supporters highlighted.

Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
See Padds you just proved I was right, I never mentioned any org, during Lakeside I was on here saying how much I was enjoying it, yet 1 post and you presume that is me saying I am anti BDO.
Thanks for confirming my view.

I get sick of the same BDO/PDC debate taking over nearlly every thread nowadays, I actually believe some posters just say things about it to rile others.
I just love darts, the board running it doesn't make a comp any better than another. I like boxing and when there is a fight I dont look whether its for WBC, IBF etc I just look at whether it has potential to entertain me.

Run it however you see fit Ginge.

Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
I've voted option 2, only because I think that will keep some interest throughout for some. Certainly be a big drop off in entries with the drop in prises, although personally I enter the comps to keep an interest in the darts rather than trying to win a prize and to stop me throwing a few quid at the bookies.
Maybe...
1 Knockout all the way through.
1 Top predictor come Judgement Night.
2 Prizes for top 2 at end (but take out judgement night winner if same person).
Anyway, don't really mind, will enter whatever.

Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
Any more opinions on this before I start the thread later on today?

Option 2 surely the best option.
Will make it more entertaining.

I've chosen option 3 because then you can "re-enter" after judgementsday and keep interest to the end

Still got my random draw win Lumina from last year, brilliant set.The Crusader wrote:Guessing because some of the winners just choose the most expensive darts then sell them on ebay.Ginge wrote:Mods - has any reason been given why they have reduced the prizes by over 85%
Disclaimer: Not a moan those who choose expensive sets to use or pass to friends or family. Only those trying to make a quick buck or two.
Maybe the reduction in prizes will weed out the prize hunting no posters? I like to enter for fun, any prize is a bonus.
Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
Maybe Edward has taken umbrage at the unfair criticism Unicorn products get on here from the same posters, purely because of their affiliation with the PDC.
I have used Unicorn products for the last 18 years and have no complaints at all.

It would be a shame if he has taken that attitude, one or two members of the forum do not speak for the forum as a whole.BlueSpark wrote:Maybe Edward has taken umbrage at the unfair criticism Unicorn products get on here from the same posters, purely because of their affiliation with the PDC.

Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
Sadden to hear of the reduction in prizes,I always enjoyed checking for the random draw. I can't complain as I won my fair share of prizes. I do home whatever option Ginge chooses that it is well supported by the forum. As for Unicorn products I would have no complaints,I have used their products since I started playing darts (decades).
Re: The TSOD PL Comp - opinions wanted
Maybe it is based upon a business decision that giving away approx £1,000 of merchandise every year which does not equate to increased sales as most of the people who enter only do it in order to get a freebie and don't even post or probably even play darts.

Given the amount of money I've thrown at Mr Lowy's products over the years, I would have hoped he'd stipulate that I have to win at least twice every season.

Maybe now times have changed, less prizes up for grabs and someone could join up next week make 15 posts in comp thread and walk away with darts never to be seen again or contribute to the site. I didn't agree last time but sort of understood it may help entice newbies with weekly prizes.Ginge wrote:The last time I attempted to, Nikkiboy had a massive moan.The Crusader wrote:Time to implement Ginge rule . . .Ginge wrote:Well yes, it could be this.J Y Kelly wrote:Maybe it is based upon a business decision that giving away approx £1,000 of merchandise every year which does not equate to increased sales as most of the people who enter only do it in order to get a freebie and don't even post or probably even play darts.
