This is a waste of time, 100% that the winners of this pairs exhibition will come from one of three nations......the rest should save their plane fares......

Those three yes Belgium and Australia both made the finals before and both good enough to win it.

Also Northern Ireland, Wales and Austria
Wait and see.....there is much fodder in that line up.

I really think they should only pick teams that have pdc players, may as well pick my mom.
In fact drop the silly world cup thingy and just make it an open pairs event, at least it'll be a bit more competitive.

Yes I would prefer that, as it stands 90% of the teams have no chance at all so the comp only gets exciting at the final stages, well if a couple of Thais getting a new hole torn is your thing then fair enough I suppose, but this is not what I enjoy (well not in the context of darts). Because they are so limited finding good competitive players from around the world then I think using the word "World" in the title is a little presumptuous.

I agree about a pairs comp being better than this. Blind pairs. Top 32 in one pot. Another 32 tch's in another. Snooker shootout style in format. Best of 3 or 5. Get it played over a couple of days/sessions. Would be very entertaining.

Yes far better than the charade we have at present.

Why would anyone care about a televised blind pairs event?

Why would anyone care about an event where people's nationalities are changed in order to suit which teams need better players?

They bring the bdo/wdf into everything, that's what is wrong with this forum.

It's the same failed argument, don't discuss the matter at hand, deflect onto the bdo/wdf which, in this case, is completely different but hey, don't let that get in the way.
