The Ryder Cup of Darts? If fans and players like the World Cup so much, do we need another team event on the PDC calendar?

Absolutely fucking not. They tried it with England vs Scotland once and it was fucking dire.

Get in the fucking bin.

The only new thing I would have absolutely any interest in now is a "Snooker Shoot Out" style thing. All 128 players, one weekend, random draw, best of 3 leg games.

Bring back the Quadro or have a tournament played on the Champions Choice.

It would be tapping into darts history too, even if the last time they relaunched the NotW tournament it was a flop

Get in the fucking bin.
While part of the reason it was dire was because it was a whitewash, and a UK vs Europe competition would promise to be competitive, I think the World Cup is enough pairs, part of what makes it special is that it's unique

The ADC should run an event called 'The Iced Water Classic'

Odd Job obviously in as the number 1 seed

So people play matches, but if you lose with a high avg you survive and if you win with a low one you dont?
