Ranked.

Multiple boards.

501, best of 3 legs.

Not sure if its doable, but that would be ideal imo.

The current Masters is the most pointless and boring TV event the PDC put on. Only mildly interesting thing is the GSOD places awarded but that’s only the case if you have “unexpected” semi finalists.
The last few years it's been great because there's been the carrot of a Prem spot on the line, and it has to be said the three players who have taken advantage have played very well in the Prem, but it has lost a bit of its shine now. I'll still tune in to see if anyone surprising does make the final and make the Grand Slam, but it won't be the same as the last few years
In the past it has been the curtain raiser for the season and also had the PL spot...
This year with 2 WS events already played and no PL spot it seems pointless

Considering there's now an 11 month gap between the Masters and the next PL selection, it'll have absolutely no bearing on the PL, the last 2 UK Open champs haven't been picked, and nor have 2 of the last 3 European champions. It's a return to what it was before in some ways, but it makes it feel very empty, especially as it's not the curtain raiser anymore

With the 2 WSOO-events the last 2 weeks and the Masters with more or less the same faces, im already bored of these players before the PL even starts. And then we get them every week, some of them 2 or 3 times a day. The PDC has created a bore out problem for their viewers. Think the viewing figures of the PL will also suffer from this

True fans will watch Modus or WDF sooner

Shrooms are very delicate at this time of the year, they require careful nurturing when they pop up out of their growbags.

I will probably enjoy the masters a bit more as it won't all be about Littler, before anybody has a pop I'm a big fan of his just want people to remember other darts player exist

People know they exist, they've seen a bunch of them playing Littler.

Other than Thorn' shitty gimmicking and that George Curtis character do mushrooms even exist these days?

The WDF is merely a feeder league (Oche's words not mine). The shrooms definitively lost the argument and top-end of the game years ago.

Oche is still an ardent shroom deep down, bless him.
Plenty of others still lurking in the compost.
They still have their hopes and dreams.

I like to believe that deep down Oche knows the score.

Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit.

The mushrooms are without doubt what used to be referred to as the fanboys these days. Thorn’s weird schtick aside, I don’t see anyone stanning for the WDF.
