Where does this idea come from that drama and high averages are mutually exclusive?

Look at the Barney-Taylor Premier League game where Taylor missed crucial doubles and lost despite averaging over 115, in a game with a combined average of 220. Look at last week's WGP final where Van Gerwen missed crucial doubles many times yet still averaged 96 average in a double-in format (and lost).

The Euro Tour can just as much have dramatic games. The Caven-VvdV final last year comes to mind.

If someone asks me "How good was that game?", I'm not rushing to the average chart. My own eyes tell me if a game was entertaining or not. MVG or Taylor can batter someone on the TV 10-2 with a 110 average, that's just a glorified practice session with no excitement or drama whatsoever.

If someone asks me "How well did player X play?", then it's time to look at the averages.

With regards to the European Tour, there are about 15 PDC events which are bigger than these. The short format and the relative lack of importance make it very difficult for a "classic".

barney raping dolan at the moment 5-0

[Off_The_Wire]

Barney 5-0 up on Dolan and 8 points ahead in the averages.

Can't find a non-bookies stream as yet that's working though.

19 Sub 90 averages and
2 sub 80 averages from 32 so over 50% can't hit a 90 average.

The seeds haven't even entered the comp yet. But there were only 7 matches in the masters that featured a 90 plus average against another 90 plus average. This comp has seen three so far already.

barney -v- dolan makes that 4
That 7 will be eclipsed (excuse the pun) before the day is out....
