Dutch battering Ireland . Some great finishes and the Dutch look unbeatable.Only O'Shea having any luck really 144 out I think.

This is hard watching for TV, the couple of minutes break between legs is a bit silly.

The format is ridiculous anyway.
Just making it more unwatchable.
If that was possible.

I don't know it's not that bad, if they had a good commentator on then it would be easier.

I'm not a big fan of Masters-style sets, but here they would arguably be an improvement. Reduce the squads to 3 players, and play the 9 matchups as best of 3 legs each.

That does sound a lot better.

Miller and Callander lost all 4 of their matches so far.

Fixed

Re the dead legs it's obvious why guys don't do it. They play best of 25. Cam you imagine if a team went 13 nil up!

So maximum of dead legs in ladies is 4 per game. Still no need imo. Wish I had a transcript of Gwynne comments.

Wise old owl is Gwynne.

Men play first to 13 but there must be 15 legs played because each player must play 3 legs to gain 1 international cap This is why the dead legs are played in the group stage in ladies as its only 9 legs and men's must play 15 legs ,in knockout situations caps are handed out for any amount of legs played. This is what I was told when I played 2 years ago"

What is the point of this tournament? What context?

What is the point of international darts full stop?*


*I know it's the free beer weekends.

You could make the point about any sport.........

But most international matches in other sports are actually seen by people. There is a want, a demand.

from a personal point of view i would rather the british & scottish & welsh opens was televised than the 6 nations thats currently on that would give 4 big opens with the english open airtime which i feel would be more beneficial

Who sets the rules for what gets you a cap or not? If a footballer comes on as a sub in injury time, never touches the ball and the ref blows seconds later, they still get a cap!

Noone knows how you even get selected to play for England so we have zero chance of ever having being able to fathom out caps

[BlueSpark]

It must be easy, just put the Lakeside champion at the top of the list.
Oh...
