2020 Grand Slam of Darts --- Ricoh Arena, 16-24 November

[HalloweenJack]

Two bogey players in wade’s group. He doesn’t get out, neither does smith and Van Goblin

Wade and Duzza get out of that group, no issues. Battle for the wooden spoon.
Wade and Duzza both win the other two, as for who wins when they play. I’ll wager 5-4 to one of them.

No way. Heta beats wade on current form

Tv events are where it really matters and Wade got to the final of the last one. Duzzas form on the floor is similar to Wade’s possibly worse.

What will Oche's excuse be for the BDO players this year?

"Not had enough tournaments to practise."

Correct

Oche's alright at the end of the day.

Aye, he's not bad between 11:58pm and 11:59pm.

Just a shame that he's an utter div at all other times.

Group C could be absolutely insane, or it could be absolutely shit given that de Sousa and Ratajski are yet to really make their mark on stage

+1

The clash of the Euro Floor Kings will be amazing or appalling, there's no middle ground. It'll probably never end when both realise they're on TV

Wash your mouth, Josey is solid!

Krzysztof will give a big cheer when Jose hits the wrong double only to miss himself

Now that is just silly, ever happened before? Him being dick like many others??

Not him being a dick as such, but he gave his classic fist pump when he saw MvG missed against him at the Grand Prix...he won the leg but lost the match of course

I'm on the record as not liking the group stages, that's a given.
But are this years the least interesting yet?
For all the vaunted depth of strength some of it is pretty grim.
Also, I know I always say bdo players add nothing standard wise, but does 1 in each group stimulate interest? If only for the score card?
I will watch, and no doubt enjoy it when it gets to the business end but I'm not thrilled.

Anyone else think the Seedings for this are a bit shit how can Dave Chisnall and Simon Whitlock who haven't won an event or been runner up in a major be in a higher pot than someone who has won an event or runner up in a major.

I know they have done this since the 8 floor qualifiers came in but it really is a bit silly

Using the Main OoM is silly? Doing it any other way would cause a nightmare of moaning for sure. Starting with: who should be #1 seed? World Number 1, World Champion or Grand Slam champion? Poll?

Thread. No poll though.

What's the Grand Slam in Fuckland? Mom, Grandma, Sister and Daughter?

Are you going to laugh at Wayne Warren?

Naturally

I think this years' groups are the most interesting for years. We're just a bit spoiled. Everyone in the qualifier thread agreed that it was a decent batch and the floor jobbers are the worst in the event.

I'm sure you mean C but A, E and F are pretty good too.
