2016 PDC World Darts Series Thread

Presumably the invites were given out before the World Cup. Hopefully Hong Kong can unearth another player before next year's World Cup.

[Captain Hobo]

no...but you must understand rankings were different
Lloyd was the second most successful player, he won a major that year, plus he was world #1 I think due to the ranking system in place.
Painter was however a higher ranked player than today, maybe he was as high as 3rd possibly

Makes sense. I remember there being a buzz around Painter after the 2004 Worlds. He broke his leg just after, and there was a massive feature on it in The Sun (or perhaps the Mirror)

I always associate Lloyd's peak with 2005, as during the first Premier League, he was Taylor's main rival. I suspect he kicked on before then.

I think Painter had a broken bone in his foot shortly after 2004 final. Didn't play at all from March to June according to Darts Database.

He was seeded 7th for the 2005 World Championship, presumably would have been ranked higher had he played the whole year.

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Have any locals won matches yet this year?

[The Ginge Reaper]

Have any locals won matches yet this year?

No. The 7/25 available on the accumulator though wasn't really tempting. I almost put a treble on the handicaps but Barney would have ruined it first game so glad I didn't.

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Cheers.

Appears this was as dire as I expected it to be. Tomorrow's a different matter

I did wonder about the format playing from quarters down. Anything can happen

[Justin Credible]

well they had to shorten the format , what with it all in one day

[M H]

I thought they learned from the BDO that it doesn't matter how long it takes to get through a day of darts

[Deadshot]

Lam loooks damn good, just not consistent enough. lots of high power scoring but too much low scores included.

Dartsjouno, that's a very... talented girl in your sig, who is she?

[Deadshot]

Chizzy atrocious on the doubles today, he's lucky to get Mckenzie who seems to be plagued by dartitis but it's not looking as bad as it was at the world cup

[Justin Credible]

talented girl in your sig, who is she?

Ian Whites daughter....100% mutton
