Standard going up and up.
Can you give the number of sub-80 averages so that we can also see if standards that are going up are also going down?

Had to work it out myself given the selective deafness round here - they have increased from 16 to 20 - so a 25% increase in 100+, and a 25% increase in sub-80 averages. All that suggests to me is that the number of easy wins has probably gone up!
Yeah, so basically there is strength at the top but not in depth, pretty much as we knew (selected deafness aside).
I don't blame the stat guy as he is being paid to be nothing but positive, I wonder if that is what happened to the previous fella?

"it's the same trolls spouting the same crap every other post.... you have to be some kind of sad act to watch nearly 8 hours of darts a day for 9 days just to post about how crap it is"
Here's the race to be seeded to Euro Tours 7 and 8 with only two events (PC10 and ET5) left before the cut-off. James Wade is outside the top 16 by the narrowest of margins.

Bearing in mind that Gary will not be entering, Wade is currently a tentative seed.
Think the downside for James potentially, is that he has done well having had that extra game before the Last 32, and if a seed, not only does he go into that round cold, but not guaranteed his 1k, as he was when a qualifier.

true he can play ET 7 and lose right off the bat and get 1k, but that is providing he qualifies, and while he has qualified for all 6, its not any certainty he would qualify for the 7th if he goes in the qualifiers.
All he has to do in reality is earn 250 quid more than price in the 2 next 2 events to get that automatic spot
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

Courtesy of Burton, as of start of play this afternoon. Clearly Bunting now excluded.
Stephen Bunting, John Henderson, and Max Hopp all with a good chance to move into the top 16 of the ProTour Order of Merit this weekend, which would earn them a seeding to both ET7 and ET8.
