2021 Premier League

Ffs, I was out on Friday and Saturday, and I come back to the forum to this? Well bloody done Jonny Clayton, always been a cracking player, but did anyone predict this? Commiserations Jose, he's delighted us all season with his mix of the sublime and the ridiculous, but the final was a step too far. It's always hard to follow up after the second semi-final, especially after such a tense game, maybe he'd have had a better chance had he not made those couple of counting errors, but it's all academic now

Jose ought to invest in a private maths tutor.

A pre school tutor would be fine...

To think he was just an unremarkable, occasional poster before the #NewEra. He'd been concealing some serious A-game. Haha.

IIRC, he had lost his marbles before the Warren Brown fiasco.

He just became worse after it.

[SuperSwede]

Well done JC, the world no 17 showing them how it's done, screw your ranking points

Unreal

[Rogg]

97.74 tournament average this year. Absolutely ruined by Dulla's 86. So Duzza has the lowest tournament average of any PL winner... how surprising.

Do you think we'll ever see a 100 tournament average for the Premier League, including all matches and players? We were less than a point away from it in 2015, but that year's record of 99.02 still stands.

To the surprise of nobody anywhere

Those earlier winners also played on boards with smaller segments.

So there is probably a bigger performance gap between Wade in 2009 and Duzza in 2020 than their tournament averages would indicate. Had Duzza played to the same standard in any other year of the PL, he would not have won it.

But that is darts for you, random results occasionally happen.

Possibly. A game getting more and more professional and little moving parts and where at times improving standard of opponents can elevate your own average.

I don't understand any of that

Golf courses can lengthen, thicker rough etc. Tennis gets tougher when the speed of balls flying at you is ever increasing. Darts is static, just you standing there throwing at a non moving target and sometimes your average is better than you are playing if your opponent is clinical in your losing legs you are only having scoring visits.

I don't think the current era is as strong as some believe.

That, and I don't think the talent today is necessarily much stronger than 15 years ago.

More depth overall? Yes. But a combined PDC and BDO 32 man field in 2006 wouldn't be much weaker than the 2021 Matchplay field.
