Re: 2020 European Tour + European Championship (29 Oct - 1 Nov)
Pretty good quality throughout the day, the "Big 3" looking ominous, shame Price and Wright meeting so early.
If any of you have noticed that the spotting has been a lot better today and at the last ITV event, it's because it's the Dutch Euro Tour guys running the productions. Heard an interview with their head guy, they run it on a five man crew (most tv events have 20+) and the cameras are not manned, the spotter (Little Richard) is controlling the cameras himself on an ipad using software that has access to all the cameras directly. Works great I think and a big improvement as usually you'd get minimum 10 errors per day when ITV are doing an event.

4 mini sessions for me of 4 games each. 6 games is usually my max outside of the Euro Tour but with the ITV commentary team I need more frequent breaks. They really are terrible and have no idea how to ease into and build to the climax of a game. Spend most of their time either talking about the games that have already happened or the games that are coming next, almost no actual commentary.

Jose and Devon pushing hard for the Top 32 now.
Nearly nine years since they played a Best of 7 legs Prelim game at Ally Pally, for which they were both suitably ridiculed and dismissed no doubt: https://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/MatchSt ... hKey=91028

I don't care what his betting odds are but no one will be betting on White today.
