Ahhhh, what a shame. I play with 21 gram darts and am not an expert in all the different brands so...as you say I copied your entry of for mogul 21g. A bit sneaky putting in a bogus set that has tripped me up. I shall more diligent in the future.

Thanks for running the comp, it gave some extra interest.

Unicorn offer the prizes as they sponsor the forum.
The idea with picking your set at the start is you send traffic to the Unicorn site, by actually looking at the darts in the catalogue. If only the winners looked at the catalogue at the end of the competition, hardly any traffic to the site would happen and Unicorn may stop the proses altogether. They have reduced the number of darts sets won in the PL comp in the last couple of years already.
It's not a lot to ask and was mentioned multiple times, as it is for every competition I run. I could not have made it more clearer.
As for voiding entries without the dart code, some posters do not want any anyway (Ginge frequently puts no dart code as he isn't bothered about winning any).
I am not second guessing if the winners want them or not, it's pretty simple. The prizes were given out as per the rules set out from the start.

I will not be running this next year, as I want to go anyway. I have spent about 10 hours trawling through the predictions and compiling the spreadsheet. Good luck to the person who runs it next time.

Yep, thanks to the sponsors and Bluespark. Well done the winners. Comp fine print is there for a reason - teaches us all to be careful in the future!

Yes they did.

If Man City finish top of the league but it is then discovered they have fielded ineligible players all season, who wins the title?

In addition, your entry needs to include a set of darts of your choosing from the Unicorn catalogue - (Click Here). Any player making an entry that does not include a valid product code will be INELIGIBLE for any prizes, including the Eclipse Pro.
If any of the top entries win a set of darts and none were specified in the appropriate prediction, the darts will revert to next in the overall standings at the end.
The rules look easy enough to follow? Well done to all the winners of the prizes

Get over it, you are ineligible for a prize it’s simple and in the rules, you cocked up so only yourself to blame nobody else’s fault.

Thank you BlueSpark for the time and effort put into organizing the comp and to Unicorn for the prizes.

If that's OK with BlueSpark and the admins, I'd like to give up my prize to dartsfan22 (but only if he promises to visit the Unicorn site everyday, for at least a month :) ). Yes, he made a mistake but seems to have learned his lesson now. He's the only one to have picked Anderson and Cadby while everyone alse was piling on MVG. Deserves something to show for that.

I'd be happy to accept the prizes I win by actually scoring the most points or so, and I'll give up the ones I get in random draws (as I did last year's PL) or by other's silly mistakes.
