Re: 2018 World Series of Darts
I kind of agree with PT13, it is a tough schedule with the traveling. OTOH professional athletes do a lot of traveling out is something you have to get used to. I think PDC is a few years from splitting the tour into a tour for top players which will be mainly ET type events. Then the PC events. How they break it up with payouts and ranking as well as rules for who goes up and who goes down is going to be key to create the right incentives to continue to push the game forward.

Meanwhile... hopefully ITV show the North American Championship again. Didn't know what to expect from it last year but it was enjoyable. Old Willard.

Re: 2018 World Series of Darts
They've done it up as a picture now.
ITV's afternoon coverage is one solid block, 1.45-6.30, so one assumes they'll be showing the live music too.
Wonder if the Pocker Haunt Us dude'll be up. Hoping for BDO tunes xx

Crazy old Germans
Not sure who came up with this idea but it's brilliant
All we need now is Barney, Hunchback and Krusty to get beaten, preferably good showings for J-Lewis and Dimitri

Re: 2018 World Series of Darts
They do it sometimes at the boxing in Germany and Eastern Europe (and also in Leeds last weekend). In boxing the downside is that it might mean the undercard is weak as they pay for the music act, but that's not an issue here so it should be an excellent night all roundThe Thorn wrote:Yeah I would love if they showed the musicRogg wrote:They've done it up as a picture now.

Re: 2018 World Series of Darts
https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.ph ... ts-mastersA world record attendance for a darts event is expected to be set tomorrow at the German Darts Masters in Gelsenkirchen.
Organisers are readying themselves to welcome around 20,000 fans for the event at Veltins-Arena, the home stadium of Bundesliga football club FC Schalke.
According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, this would break the previous record set in London in 1939, when more than 14,000 people reportedly attended a darts event.

Re: 2018 World Series of Darts
Probably haven't read as much as ginge, but many feel it is due to lack of promos, mid week schedule, of course they are still growing the line that BDO darts are a fine product. . Don't forget lack of loyalty as well.
I do think that there seems to be more of an air of resignation than in past fiascos.

Makes sense....PT13 wrote:Looking at the 2018 PDC calendar, I see the PDC are still doing this silly thing of having the US World Series, Shanghai World Series and World Matchplay in consecutive weeks. So the players are going to go about 8 hours back, then about 17 hours forward, and then about 9 hours back, in consecutive weeks, similar to last year. This is a clear jetlag nightmare, and it's happening going into the second biggest event in darts, again. They'd be better off holding all these World Series events in late May and through June.

Stadium seats over 60k normally, 20k expected. No doubt some will class this as abject failure.
