The main presenter is Erik Jan Brinkman who has done it a few years now.
Sidekick is Martin Haar. Coach of AZ Alkmaar.

Thanks - have seen his face but there has definitely been another guy with blonde hair who has presented the last few years...

And who was with him last night??

Yeah looks like Erik has been promoted.
Last night the guest was a volleyball coach. Barry Schep.

Cheers and who was the woman on near the end??

may i remind m"learned poster its not compulsory to watch it !!

33 dart-er, nice. I should identifiy myself as a women every now and then, if that is enough for TV coverage.

last night was the worst session of "televised darts" I have ever seen.

Today, with the exception of one game has nearly matched it.

Mens seeds unbeaten so far today. Set up for winner takes all matches this evening

What can you say lol.

Are those the final averages? Seriously?

Hedman lost 4-3 and those were the averages.

How long did that game take to complete? Probably the same amount of time as a bo13 or bo15?!

Woman was a hockey player didn't get the name.
Edit: Kitty van Male

Holy moly, going for Bull at 83 rest with the opp. on 46 for the match is total lunacy. Got what he deserved, there.

It's always been the same with Dutch darts , Its well supported and popular. They get good crowds across both codes.
It's old news so sorry to disappoint you on hoping strangers on the internet are not raging at how many people are at a darts event.

The difference is that the PDC are working out how to get the best from it, just look at the PL crowds they get there now.

Or the crowd of 30 in Maastricht (me included) for the Friday session on the European tour

Any updates on the groups and which matches are shootouts?

The groups are now irrelevant in terms of progression as all the seeds won this afternoon. All 8 matches this evening are now straight shootouts.

With a spectacularly pitiful 3 dart average in the fifties.

my comment was not a fishing expedition but it shows how publicity & marketing can work for what some folk see as a crap product, the hosts organisers here could give the bdo board a good seminar,
