Ffs forgot about the stars of darts 1.0
Saw that the yank forum SEWA darts finally went dark. They use to get 2 posts a week for years. Should have been put down at least 5 years ago.

Big cross over in viewership though, definitely something to take into consideration.

You have 6pm games in the CL anyway, sometimes British sides are involved in them. Like I said, they wont give a toss.

It definitely matters too. Pretty sure Price wouldn't have beat Anderson in that final if that was their first game of the day. It can play a big role depending on who the finalists are, someone like Cross for example dips when having to play longer format games more than once per day (see UK Open and PL finals)

Oche is right.

It's the WDF Virtual Cup that really matters.

Price is the only WGP semi-finalist with a Slam spot currently.

Twitlock v Dirk doubles as a play-off for one.

Then there's Chizzy.

I believe this means currently 19 players have qualified from the main list, including either Dirk or Whitlock and the women qualifier. So 3 more places in offer until the Pro Tour winners (first Joyce then Searle) are dropping out.

Dirk is in!

As is Cross, as World Series Finals runner-up. I lost the list. Sorry.
