Also SA most likely Devon Petersen and Liam O'Brien who won the event that they picked Devon's partner from last year.
I count 2 PDC players in that lot..........
They are dart players, take your blinkers off.

Also, what constitutes a PDC player? You need to learn to count :DDD:

Exactly the same list of countries as last year. The Czech team mentioned earlier isn't in. Surely Humpala should be in.

No change in the Asian teams despite the PDC Asia introduction that has seen good performances from players from Philippines and Korean throwers.

Would prefer to see Latvia and/or Lithuania in the line up over Switzerland.

Poor Webster.
Clayton is ranked 28th and Lewis is also ahead of Webster. Think someone doesn't know his Darren from his Mark

Going to be a couple very good non seeded teams

Scotland, Netherlands, England, N.Ireland, Australia, Austria, Wales, Belgium I would guess at being the seeds.

Leaves Ireland with O'Connor and Lennon, Poland with Ratajski and Kanik, Spain with Reyes and Alcinas. The swedes and the Fins always show well. In theory the Japanese team will be a bit better match ready on the assumption they are pulled from the Asian tour.

But you love everything PDC, you BDO hater ;-)

Completely pointless tournament for the Major nations, the smaller nations have the chance to make a story for themselves(in their own country).

Format change for me would be to add a women into the mix.
I'd add a woman in for mixed threes but switch the format so that there's more team matches and then just three singles at the end. Pairs and threes are far more unpredictable.

Let's hope England turn up.

Nope, why not? MVG v Cross = boring and sooner or later people will turn off.

They won't as like all sports people want to see the best play..the elite..90% of viewers are not forum visitors..they don't follow darts religiously..they just want to see the best play...in all sports.. ....and Cross has been on the scene 5 minutes anyway..I'd sooner watch Cross v MVG anyway than a token female thrown in and most viewers would

I know its one of the weakest PDC events, its non ranking and invitational so another glorified exbo.

But the Mushrooms will surely love it, after all they cry the PDC are the same 8 players, so now they are getting something different.
Whats the betting they will moan over this as well ?
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

I watch everything darts, it's a growing tournament. When persons can talk, yet resort to semi-violence, they're not growing(u G).

Garry moaning about a PDC event, there.
Then moaning about people moaning about the event which means he's moaning about himself moaning about the event :DDD:
