Why they didn't ask fans to play in the Home Tour is beyond me. It's not like anybody cares about Home Tour 2 in the current format.

Whitlock doesn't even take the tops off of his, made me think I can't ever remember him taking a bit of water on stage.

Trust Viz to come up with another gimmicky idea! To be fair, they did have a sportsman's version, and a footballer's one too for all the gambling addicts out there

If it ain't XXXX, he's not interested.
Yeah safe to assume he is a "topper-upper" on breaks.

^ The tournament average, we assume. I normally at least ramble for a bit before posting a pile of numbers.

A giant leap then compared to last year where there were some spectacularly bad performances:
https://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventRe ... Averages=Y

VvdV averaged 65 in the first round? Bunty barely managed 70 in the last 16. Bizarre.

Despite the effective unification of the game at the top end? Interesting.

And that's his third 9 darter in a row but he still has some way to go to beat Peter Wright's eight in a row earlier tonight.

Or get the BDO to send over their actual best players as clearly Durrant, Hughes, Noppert, McGeeney, Baker, Labanauskas, Razma, Joyce, Whitehead, Kleermaker, Telnekes, Smith, Waites and Harms haven't improved the standard of the PDC according to oche. Who saw that opinion coming?

They haven't adjusted yet. Waites, Darius, Hughes, Noppy, McGeeney are all easily top 32 standard players. Not that easy to do the switch.
