Oh well start 11am in the Pentathlon with a great ladies line up !

Is the Pentathalon being streamed at all?

No El Ringo would accuse us of wasting more money , our “freebie” deal doesnt include extra days .

I think the Pentathalon is an event in which the BDO/EDO are missing a trick. It's an interesting and different event to anything that PDC run.

Most people say they are bored of the same players, whereas I think it's down to the same old format of 501.
I'd like to see "Half It" played a lot more as it's a game that can accomodate people who aren't the best 501 players out there.
Many a time in the pub when we've started a game of "half it" we usually end up with a few "none" darters involved and a little bit of a crowd if we start barricking each other.

Had some great epic games of Half it. Like you say sometimes the players you least expect can win this.

A bloke who nows plays for us, joined in when he didn't play darts and his first game of half it. He ended up needing 2 bulls to win it and he hit them to absolute astonishment.

If the entertainment isn't available in 501 to the BDO/EDO could this be a chance to add some excitement and something different.

Remember the Flower's dartathlon being televised back in the olden days, as you both say it's difference is it's USP.

When we wanted to play for money in the pub it was always half it or small 3, used to get 10-15 people per round and £2 a game it was a nice earner playing that on a Sunday lunchtime.

I dont remember the "Flowers Dartathalon" (im 43).

We played for 20p each player which meant with ten players you got 11 songs on the jukebox.We always kept it small stakes so anyone could join in.

Which part and why ?

Spot the deliberate mistake.

Saturday 16th June, eh?

Then again as amateurs its acceptable to be making mistakes all the time. Or something.

Nor me and I am older than that and have seen every world championships from inception.

It doesn't work having any format that isn't known to the mass viewing public.

Darts works on TV cos its simple , easy to understand and gives an excitement moment at the end of every quick game for the finish & a winner or loser of every game.

The PDC found this with the equal darts experiment it just doesn't work as good as a conventional game of 501 does.

Pentathlon just isn't like this and to be honest if it was ever going to have made it as a 'televised' tournament it would of happened back in the golden days when Bristow , Lowe, Jocky etc were all household names and could of brought in some fan base to hopefully watch and pick it up

Still nobody spotted the mistake?

Do we know how this relates to previous years, i.e score.

We do.
No one cared in previous years either.
