Scott Mitchell

[NvH]

Mitchell 100+ in TV majors

BDO - 1 ton plus av in 56 matches.
PDC - 4 ton plus av in 12 matches.

Interesting.

Is it? Oh, of course. Toy boards! Nothing to do with the fact that playing better players improves your average.

In pretty much any sport, the way to improve is to play against those slightly better than you.

And those boards at the O2 looked pretty fucking generous to me.

If scott can finish the season top if the challenge tour we'll see him at the real world championship without even playing on any of the pro tours.

As for Mitchell's record in TV majors

PDC: 4 wins, 8 losses (33.3%)
BDO: 33 wins, 23 losses (58.9%)

All four of his ton+ averages in the PDC were best of 9 legs. Two of those were in defeat.

[Mensur Suljovic Fan]

In all seriousness, he'll probably have a full year on the tour now, as long as he doesn't completely bomb the rest of the Challenge Tour season. I'd say he's roughly top 64 level, probably just inside. Gonna need to either top the CT OoM or win enough money to get into the top 64 at the end of the year to avoid having to go to Q-School, which is gonna be tough for him

Now that UK Challenge Tour players only have 2 Associate Member qualifying spots available for the European Tour events, that will be made even more difficult. Would need a Ratajski year to get a tour card.

Yeah, although you'd still fancy him to make his fair share of those if he gives it a proper go. I'd say he probably makes the Worlds and the Players now, doing a Ratajski is probably a bit beyond him

Yeah but Pigs in Blankets what do you think of those

Who said anything about Toy boards?

This is a thread on how Mitchell will fare in the pdc as a recent BDO switcher. Is my post not completely relevant to that discussion?

I reckon when he lost, it's because his opponents hit 5 doubles before he did.

[NvH]

I know exactly what you were getting at We're partying like it's 2009.

For what it's worth, I think he'll do just fine in the PDC. He's a good finisher and his gamesmanship skills are second to none.

I just wouldn't get too carried away with his PDC performances when he's made four GSoD appearances and failed to reach the knockout stages even once. It's not that much better than Richie Rich or the Excellent Dude

Very harsh way to describe female darters who are just trying to keep warm in January.

And you cry when people have a go at you, I wonder why?

Because I'm delicate and sensitive.

No one is suggesting he would be top 16.

[ssjsa]

I can see him slightly better up the rankings than the journeyman Darren Webster & the likes within a few seasons if he sticks at it, also if he sticks to a job he has less pressure on him to perform as darts isn’t his sole income ala waites style

Wash your mouth out with soap and water
Journeyman ffs get a grip

For once have to agree with Demolition_fan.

Darren has been a Top 32 PDC player for some time, and but for his injuries last year would have finished the season inside the Top 16.

[trotter01]

Darren Webster has been in the top 10 and a regular TV player with some very decent performances.... There are plenty of journeymen out there but Webster is certainly not one of them..

Not remotely

[Thehateful180]

Mitchell will need to pick up his walking pace. If he stops suddenly in a corridor, Oche's nose will disappear up his generous posterior.

[Rout]

Been playing PDC for 17/18 years.

Won one pro tour event in all that time.

Zero tv finals and 1 semi final. Never past the quarters in any of the biggies.

I'd say he fits the description pretty well.

I'm not suggesting he will or won't. He's a difficult opponent for all sorts of reasons. I just think some people get carried away at his winning of a CT event, which is the equivalent of Sergio Garcia getting excited at winning on the Challenge Tour in golf (although the way his career is going, perhaps that's not so far-fetched).
