Lost my mojo for darts right now as always something going wrong. Forget darting ability or lack of it, lethargy and heat in the venues is fucking me over. Looking forward to Dave's matches and the post event write up. All the best for tomorrow night

Is that your way of saying you are no longer in the money places?

I never was. Top 8 get money.

A series of weekly Round-Robin Events.
Each series will run for 13 weeks.
(12 weeks of competitions and 1 finals night on the 13th week).
All Weekly Round-Robins in the Midlands Region will combine into 1 Ranking Table.

- After the 12 weeks, The Top 12 players in the Midlands Table from Series 1 will qualify for the Vault Finals Day in October with an estimated pot of £10,000+

Ah right, I remembered it was the top 12 you said before that you were aiming for, Still achievable if you pull your head out of your arse and stop fucking around in the group matches.

Think the 12th place will be decided by whoever is prepared to attend both comps on Sunday thus gaining a guaranteed 2 points, Gareth in 10th place is a Warwickshire County A player who will be making his Welsh international debut in a few weeks time and Jenson in 11th place is the England youth B team captain and the best 16 year old darting prospect I have ever seen from Coventry - a lot will depend on the draw for the groups but could be nip and tuck between SD and Adam who is also a good player.

Bang on Andy. If I attend both events and lose every leg it could be enough for top 12. Gareth is now listed as entered for Rugby which has given me a little kick. If Jenson enters either I'd be chasing a deep run at Stafford along with Adam.

So far: (24 players max per event)
5 have entered Stafford
7 have entered Rugby

P.S. To play in Modus super series you have to be 18+ which rules out Jenson from playing in the top 32 qualifier!? He was 4-0 up on Daniel Lee at the weekend, eventually winning 5-3. Ian beat Jenson in the final with a 141 c/o.

If you had put more effort in earlier then you wouldn't be in the situation you are in now.

Stafford still only 5 entries with 2 days to go. If it stays like that I'd fancy my chances of collecting 4 points and £25 1st prize. We all know some of the big hitters at the top of the table will attend and scupper that thought. It's interesting seeing everyone holding back. Then again Stafford is Always poorly attended and there's No Refund for no shows in ADC so no point paying your online entry until the day or even the very last minute, unless there's a sudden flood of entries. Look! Noah's Ark!

Got side tracked yesterday. Here's the projected payout breakdown for the top 8 places in Midlands ADC table* - 2 events remain:

1) £441
2) £300
3) £265
4) £212

5) £176
6) £159
7) £123
8) €88

Total payout £1,767

*Pennies excluded from totals.

[Suspect Device]

1) £441 Sam
2) £300 Daniel

3) £265 Wayne
4) £212 Matt

5) £176 Louis
6) £159 Lauby
7) £123 Karl
8) €88 Tonks

I expect at least 5 of the 8 will play Stafford.
Most of the 8 will make an overall profit on their £6 entry fees. I played 19 vault events, paid in £114, won £20. Net loss currently stands -£94.

Well done to all the winners, roll on Sunday.

How much have the ADC made in these events?

The venues have to pay a minimum of £50 each night to hold the event Chris and this is the only money paid out on the night and is normally paid out £25 to winner, £15 to Runner Up and £5 each to the Semi finalists.

If the maximum of 24 players attend then that means £144 is taken by the ADC in entry fees and I imagine a big proportion of this is used towards the payout for the grand finals - the guy running the event on the night is paid 10% of the total entry fees which equates to £14.40 but £2.12 of this is deducted for Darts Atlas fees so the organiser ends up with £12.28 which is not payable until January 2024.

So not even £13 and they have to wait 9 months for it?

Jesus christ.

Jesus christ.

Its a kickback Ginge, The venue gets that for every night/comp they host, So say they have 36 events over 3 series then that would be over £400 they would get back.

Suppose it's 24 people in the venue drinking on a weeknight.

Plus I would imagine some would have a driver/partner with them.

11 entries so far for Rugby.

Only 7 players attended Stafford last Sunday Rob but who on earth would stage a comp on Mothers day - I was under the impression that you had to have a minimum of 8 players for the event to go ahead, Round Robins are normally played to eliminate players prior to the knockout stages but last Sunday all 7 players who entered the round robin qualified for the quarter finals so it seems that the only point of the round robin was to determine the person who finished top who got a bye into the SF - I bet the gaffer at the venue was not happy putting in £50 for only 7 players to turn up
