More money to the player who finished 3rd.

Thoughts?

Crap though they are, I think a mini 3rd place play-off would be better than absolutely nothing to fill the gap. Gawlas and Dimitri would have put on a fun show last night surely. The prospect of extra money should sweeten the deal for the more grumpy players who think the whole world is against them.
10 legs. Each of them worth 500 quid. All legs played.

In every leg there is a throw for the bull to decide the start

Proper tacky that. A small chunk of ranking money to the winner would be better if less fun.

Three people in dinosaur outfits running around the arena during a break. Pretty sure was on the broadcast as they came back from the ads.

20 legs. Each of them worth 250 quid. Every leg is a 9 dart shootout. Start is determined by coin flip in every leg.

Bull up at start. Legs are played better darts, draw is a rollover, draw on final leg players throw at bull to win the remaining money.

Didn’t they do one for the World’s?
I remember Webby came third in one of them.

But for the fans, I suppose it’d be much like the 3rd place play off of the football World Cup.

Does it really matter when you have half the players in rounds 2 and 3 there by virtue of being byed in anyway?
