I didn't suggest you did, but merely pointed out that those hundreds of prizes donated by Unicorn over the last 7 years, have been good value for those lucky enough to have received them.

Edward and Matt have looked after us well for seven years and we are extremely grateful for their support over that period.

On the plus side Oche has said he has an uneaten pack of crayons he'll donate for the World Championships so we'll have at least one prize

If we can't get a donation of prizes then one option would be an entry fee (£5 or £10) and to pay out the funds to the top 3 as appropriate.

Pretty broad statement. Which products have you bought and been disappointed with.

Not a terrible idea. The lurkers not likely to part with hard earned cash.

Yes, getting a set of darts for free is good value now I think about it. Are you Milton Friedman?

And now we can also thank them for getting rid of the lurkers.

I have been reading this forum from the start, the original version including when it was just a message board and I also was on the original Taylor forum, Unicorn have been giving stuff away since then so it's a shame they are pulling out, I'd hate for the prediction comps to stop, to help make sure one happens for the world's I would like to donate a £ 50 quid prize to the winner or however the person who runs it sees fit... I'd volunteer to do it but my shitty work pattern over the Xmas period really is to busy sorry
