For one week a year, fanboys suddenly claim playing for your country in darts matters

It does matter. But imo it is not the pinnacle in darts. It's not the ultimate achievement. For some players it is the ulitmate: those who have no chance of winning the world championship for example.

But if we are to have serious debate:are you saying those folks who will play in Japan have hit the heights of darts? Of course not.

But re this thread: love it how some try to rip to bits this comp saying players don't care etc. Yet can't explain why max hopp got so emotional ? Was it the prize money? Or maybe playing for his country?

Never mind all that, remind me again how dire the WDT ticket sales were?

[Rout]

Really poor averages in this

[devosteve]

But good ticket sales.

[Ginge]

But good ticket sales.

Unlike the WDT where they were dire, mate.

Truly, utterly dire. Playing roulette with the members money, mate. Rout said so.

Were there more averages in the 70s or lower in this, or over 100?

I think that could be an interesting stat. We often hear you can't win a game in the pdc without averaging 100. So naturally I assume there would have been much more 100+ averages than 79.99 or less?

[devosteve]

Sigh. Maybe it's time to stop posting. Or maybe we need to realise it's just a game of darts and all opinions are just a bit of banter.

Saying internationals mean something and yet still holding to the view that they are not the ultimate in this sport isn't a contradiction or a u turn imo.

...not one i have met there was playing for pricemoney...pricemoney is just the bonus..

and u cant imagine how important this tournament is for some nations ..the positive reactions at home from friends, family, workmates and players are so many and good for darts in generally ...

some here at the forum where moaning about class and averages...i can tell you all players are hitting backstage the trebles and doubles like mad...but some are struggling on the stage..because they play first time on stage and are nervous...or have other problems..a.e. one of our players was knowing about the heat on stage but it was more that he has expected and his darts just slipped from his hand from sweating...

if we just get 5% new players now in our country because it was streamed on television, darts is the winner...

[Rout]

Pressure of the stage. Think Ive seen that on a bingo card somewhere?

Well said. Averages don't matter.

Well, knock me down with a feather.

It turns out I was way out! Just had a quick count up and it turns out there are 44 averages at first glance of 79.99 or under. Against 11, according to Garry of over 100

So just to re-iterate, that's 44 averages that have failed to make it over the 80 barrier. Against 11 over 100.

On this evidence, its a 4 times more likely that you will see an average of under 80 than over 100 in the PDC.

Interesting stuff.

No no no it doesn't mean anything to represent your country, it's "pointless", "nobody is interested" or "a waste of money".

Do the PDC make financial contributions or payments to the players for representing their country?
