Surely its just someone with 32 tabs open, dont see how it can be crippling the whole system, no different to 32 people watching 1 game eachspaceman70 wrote:DartConnect possibly blaming this for the outage on twitter.Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:05 pmfekkin hellbateleven wrote:Can still follow scores on MK Darts Facebook if everyone is still having trouble with DCTV.

That's harsh. Frank Branscombe is clearly at fault here.spaceman70 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:07 pmDartConnect possibly blaming this for the outage on twitter.Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:05 pmfekkin hellbateleven wrote:Can still follow scores on MK Darts Facebook if everyone is still having trouble with DCTV.

Indeed, dont see the issue. You dont have to stare at it all the time.

The only other explanation is the BDO have taken it over.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:08 pmSurely its just someone with 32 tabs open, dont see how it can be crippling the whole system, no different to 32 people watching 1 game eachspaceman70 wrote:DartConnect possibly blaming this for the outage on twitter.Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:05 pmfekkin hellbateleven wrote:Can still follow scores on MK Darts Facebook if everyone is still having trouble with DCTV.

Re: 2020 Q School
Painter 4-1 up who was it thinking of having an outside bet on him?

Re: 2020 Q School
The scoring page of each board works OK it is just the menu and other parts which are down, which is strange as normally you would get a whole outage unless they are on different servers
Re: 2020 Q School
Mitchell 3-1 down.

Re: 2020 Q School
Scott Mitchell was 3-1 down but just broke back I think to make it 3-2.
EDIT - no, seems the break was the 6th leg, so its now 3-3

The PDC seeds all but one event (UK Open) they have. They obviously don't want it to the cut-throat.Buzz Fledderjohn wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 1:19 pmNo it doesn't.1205 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 1:15 pm McKinstry v Williams has started.
Williams won the bull and the first leg in 18 darts with McKinstry having been unable to take out 81 with 6 darts.
McKinstry going crazy with his scoring again in leg 2. 86 after 9 darts, and took 7 darts from there.
Cruel draw for both of them. Q School really needs some kind of seeding.
Leaving aside the nightmare of how you'd actually go about seeding it, it is by it's very nature supposed to be cut-throat.
Some of the qualifiers have rankings on:
PDC OOM
PDC Challenge Tour OOM
BDO rankings
WDF rankings if they wanted to as well.
If it were winner takes all (e.g. Women's PDC World Championship qualifiers), it wouldn't be such a problem because theoretically the best player will win.
But with multiple winners each day and more people qualifying through a table, the random draw increases the negative impact of luck.
Re: 2020 Q School
I'm fine with an open draw. Firstly, they have 5 chances to qualify (finish in the top two in any of the four days and if that doesn't work can still make it through the table). Second, how would you go about seeding a competition with players from different codes? Not just PDC, BDO, but also bedroom masters like DBG?
It's unworkable IMO.
