The Hempel game tonight is massive in the tour card race.

A Hempel win will force Lennon and Mario into a likely straight shootout- win their games or be totally fucked

I'm looking forward to seeing Humphries play, even though he probably will not be pushed too hard.

The PDC needs to do a better job presenting these games. Even the camera work needs improvement. I don’t really understand the camera logistics of the 3rd or co dart. Are the closeups “guesses” based on the players tendencies? Maybe the camera should pull back more so there aren’t missed shots of doubles?

Also, is there any site that shows the consolidated stats of this tournament, leaderboards and whatnot? It’s not on dart connect, unfortunately.

I agree, it seems like they just guess and hope that they're right with some of the camera work. You can usually tell where a player's aiming based on their score and where their eyes are looking, if they are in the scoring phase and are looking down then chances are they're going for the 19s.

There are quite a few players who are new to TV darts and therefore not sure on their habits. It should be better the further the tournament goes on

Webster to beat Zonneveld might be decent value?
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

I’m 70% sure I saw Kcuik in Westminster station with his wife about 2 hours ago. He had a hat on, but he was a fairly tall fella and it very much looked like him

On another note sad to see Ilagan lost, would’ve been good representation for the international qualifiers if he went through, fantastic from miserable Campbell in the last set
