Re: snooker thread
It's a brilliant format for sheer entertainment and a total spectacle for those who would never watch a thirty odd frame match. Was it you suggested this could transfer to darts with the top 128 involved in best of three shoot outs?
Would certainly work

It's a no brainer, really can't work out why they haven't done it yet. ITV requested an event and got the Masters, why they didn't suggest a quick shootout involving all 128 players is beyond me.M H wrote:It's a brilliant format for sheer entertainment and a total spectacle for those who would never watch a thirty odd frame match.

Adds an instant value to winning a tour card and if any of them don't want to play in it you simply go down the reserve list.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

Held at the iconic home of darts Ally Pally with a totally open draw would be a huge sell outThe Ginge Reaper wrote:It's a no brainer, really can't work out why they haven't done it yet.

Totally different type of event mate which would deserve a premium venue.

All he had to do was run the clock down to 1 and then just tap the red against the cushion. Why he played that shot, fuck knows.Randall wrote:What a pisser.
Holt would never have potted red and then a colour in the couple of seconds left.

Brain freeze as they said, automatically looked for a safety shot I guess.

Re: snooker thread
Are you asking what the highest possible break possible is in this format or what the highest break has been so far this week?Randall wrote:What's the highest break in this format?
If the latter - 96
If the former - you thick cunt!

Wondered if anyone had made big centuries in this or other years. First I'm really seeing of it.

Re: snooker thread
Yeah there have been a few centuries in the past. Dott got the 96 last match last night and missed the blue to make it 101.Randall wrote:I meant the latter!The Ginge Reaper wrote:Are you asking what the highest possible break possible is in this format or what the highest break has been so far this week?Randall wrote:What's the highest break in this format?

Highest break is only 147 as free ball rule doesn't apply in this event, all fouls mean ball in hand so no opportunity to get a 155.

Ginge, if there was a one-legged 501 darts match, what would be the fewest darts you could win the leg with?

Re: snooker thread
Saw a couple of low scoring games earlier, what happens is scores are tied?
