PDC World Grand Prix -30th September- 6th October 2018- Dublin

[BlueSpark]

Like the look of all the games below.

Rapid Ricky vs Barney,
Meulenkamp vs Cullen
Gurney vs Hendo
Snakebite vs West
Whitlock vs Wilson
Mensur vs Wade
Noppert vs Price

The stand out match though, has to be Adie vs The Bullyboy.

Could be a good prediction competition, as could be plenty of shocks in the 1st Round.

Did I say I would do this one, or is someone else doing it?

David Owen is running this one.

Fling is doing the Worlds and Sparky was going to check if he could run the GSOD.

Hopefully you will run the PL as normal, and that would take us up to next year's UK Open.

Is this correct?
I don't remember ever offering to do the GSOD.
Ive been doing the Worlds for the last couple of years, cannot remember what I said I would do now.
To be noted, if I attend the UK Open, I will not be doing the comp running. If I do not go, then I will probably do it again.

Allow me to check dates and if I am around I'll do the slam this year, instead of the Worlds.[/quote]

From Monday 30th July 2018 at 7.29pm.

You must have been pished Sparky.

[BlueSpark]

Ah, yes must have been.
I will be in Nantwich on the 9th-11th and as it starts on the 9th, obviously I can set up the group stage part, but will I have time to create the knockout round template? What day do the knockout games start?

THE draw for the 2018 Unibet World Grand Prix draw has been made, with the schedule of play also confirmed.

The Unibet World Grand Prix will take place at the Citywest Hotel, Dublin from September 30-October 6 and will be shown live on Sky Sports with tickets available at www.ticketmaster.ie.

Former World Grand Prix runner-up Rod Harrington conducted the draw which saw eight seeded players already in the draw bracket, with the remaining 24 qualifiers drawn out at random.

The £400,000 tournament will begin with a clash between World Matchplay semi-finalist Jeffrey de Zwaan and Kim Huybrechts, with reigning champion Daryl Gurney beginning the defence of his title against John Henderson later on the opening night.

Sunday will also see three-time champion Michael van Gerwen face rising Irish talent Steve Lennon and 2016 finalist Gary Anderson take on Jonny Clayton.

World Champion Rob Cross will begin his quest for the £100,000 star prize against Steve Beaton on Monday night, which will also see arguably the pick of the first round ties take place as world number nine Michael Smith faces former finalist Adrian Lewis.

Two-tie winner James Wade will play sixth seed Mensur Suljovic, while world number two Peter Wright will take on Steve West and last year's finalist Simon Whitlock will meet James Wilson.

Ginge. How does one do a trustworthy random draw? I take it the the board is for that?

Put all the numbers 1 through 200 in a spreadsheet, randomised them, the number at the top is the winner (linked to post numbers from the first round thread).
Whack a password on Excel sheet and attach to a post on here before anyone predicts. Give password out at the end.
