Well if they drag the tie to a mini doubles decider by winning just one mini game then there's some degree of achievement and excitement.SuperSwede wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:15 pmHe's wrong or more likely fibbing.

Agree but the chances of that are quite small in the second round I would say.Rogg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:19 pmWell if they drag the tie to a mini doubles decider by winning just one mini game then there's some degree of achievement and excitement.SuperSwede wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:15 pmHe's wrong or more likely fibbing.

Re: 2020 PDC World Cup of Darts
I think it makes less of a difference than people say though. Winning a first to 8/10 doubles game wouldn't be much easier. In the singles your better player can often get you a win and then you get a shorter doubles game. Sure a poor team isn't winning either way but Ratajski, Petersen or De Sousa can probably carry their team easier in the current format. When you get a more balanced team such as Canada or Spain it's the other way around.SuperSwede wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:15 pm He's wrong or more likely fibbing.

The idea of filling the middle day with Best of 15/17/19 pairs games doesn't make me feel happy at all.

I wouldn't have the pairs overly lengthy in the second round, best of 11 would do. If they're close they're close and if not get them out the way.

Re: 2020 PDC World Cup of Darts
Hello,
Does anyone know where I can watch full re-runs of the world cup of darts? I was unable to watch all of it, I have Sky but they only show a few games on Catch-Up but I want to watch the lot. Thanks!

No worries. Are you sure about that first link? Checked again and all but a handful of games are there. Once one works I suppose, enjoy.AshleyGaffney wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 9:24 am @superswede

That is strange, are you both in England and they could be geo-blocked maybe?

Pero and Alan Ljubić indeed aren't brothers, or in any other way related. Ljubić is a popular surname in Croatia. Btw. Pero lives in Austria and sometimes play for Austria aswell, while Alan lives in Croatia and from some reason doesn't play Q-School ever.
