TV Averages +105

What boards did they play on in the IDL.

I think it was called a grand slam board. Wdf approved no doubt.

Yup, would have met all the WDF tolerances.

Just watched some footage and it looked a crap board.

Erm no it isn't, Unicorn are openly admitting to "increasing" the size of doubles and trebles Ha!!

Board same size. Areas same size. Divisions between them are thinner.
You could always get darts into those parts of treble that appear to be "revealed", it just required a different trajectory.

Strong thin wires can now be manufactured, the biggest difference these give is not the perceived change in treble size, but the massive reduction in "bounce-outs" which no-one really wants to see.

Are you really suggesting advances in technology should be kept from the game?
Should golfers go back to wooden shafts and club heads? Or old feather filled golf-balls?
Small wooden framed tennis rackets re-introduced?
Hi-tech running shoes and football boots banned?
Old style bikes with no aero-dynamics and few gears for the Tour de France.

Sports equipment has always changed with technology. Deal with it and stop using it as a feeble attempt to point-score against the PDC. You're fooling no-one.

Yeah I know they had a 'Grand Slam' motif,
My question was who made them?

Ha, you lot have serious humour issues when the trolling is reversed
I know technology has made the difference in averages, that was the whole point derr.
Deflectors to full captain

Ifm admitting to trolling. Who woulda thunk a serious darts man would be reduced to those levels.

Ginge comparing it to what you lot do, thus the wording

[Booji Boy]

I dont believe am a member of the you lot brigade, nor do i troll the bdo or pdc.

Everyone who's not ifm-approved is in the "you lot" brigade. You'll just have to live with it.

In any case, he did warn us of Thursdays and Saturdays a little while ago, but that's his second Tuesday episode in two weeks.

Don't you have funerals to make fun of on the other thread?

Thanks for your input, I've added "ifm doesn't understand the use of metaphors" to the ever-growing list.

So it's not distasteful if it's a metaphor, got it thanks.

[Paddy McGinty]

I'll remember this thread when either Ecky, IFM or Paddy moan about "BDO trolling".

Well how do you explain the sudden improvement? strange it coincides with the introduction of the the new Unicorn board. These are comments made on fact, not trolling. And Zeye's argument doesn't really stack up, if you ignore the "new recruits" Taylor's tally definitely takes a dramatic turn for the better around this time.

It's not rocket science is it.

paDDs

Facts?!

2006 / 10x ......5x Taylor
6 out of 10 averages aint coming from Unicorn.
5x IDL
1x WDT

Fair point Sly but it's easy to take one year out of context, lets have the facts on the following years where the amount hit really took off, the majority of these where hit on Unicorn boards................how do you explain that?

[slymaster]

Several factors imo.

New tournaments (PL, EDC, GSODs, PCF...), Premier League = additional 59 matches (now 76 matches), GSODs = 63 matches etc....
Pro Tour heating up -2005 = 15 tournaments....2008= 36 Pro Tour tournaments
Taylor going nuts -especially 2008-2009
Switchers/Traitors
Better set up
Better equipment -including boards!
More money


2008
18 out of 27 coming from new tournaments -compared to 2005 (2004) and before
2009
19 out of 30 coming from new tournaments.....


BDO/WDF
2006: 6 out of 10 coming from the BDO/WDF
2007: 8 out of 22 coming from the BDO/WDF, 4x Anderson
2008: 1 out of 27 coming from the BDO/WDF
2009: nada / 30
2010: nada / 25

Losing players and major tournaments didnt really help.

If you remove the WDT MOD and IDL from this how would it look?

[slymaster]

Was the tournament live on ITV? Format?
1996 PDC UK Matchplay
(109.34) Phil Taylor 6 V 2 Alan Warriner-Little

@thorntree
Where did you get that one?

[Justin Credible]

wonder if paddy will be along shortly to claim the only difference between the pdc and the bdo is phil taylor like others have done in the past
He has already blamed the boards, might as well go to full retard status level 5

[Rudy]

Last night when after 2 sets Taylor looked like smashing the WGP average record, Jacques Niewlaat mentioned on RTL5 that that particular record is owned by Alan Warriner Little as he threw a 106 + at the 2001 WGP.

I can't see that average in Sly's stats. Normally, Jacques is as flawless as Little Richard when such data are involved, so maybe someone can confirm AWL's record and if so, Sly can adopt it as yet in the stats?
