Reverse Grand Slam: 2016

[Rogg]

I found this while sorting out some stuff. I think I never posted it? Perhaps this was wise but it's a nice curiosity now.

I don't know what to do now. Stare at it I guess.

[sennafan24]

Mitchell would still find a way not to advance to the elimination stage.

Some of the BDO I've never heard of. Carlo van Cleef for example.

I don't know Carlo either but the rest were fairly standard BDO names at the time.

Davy van Baelen is a good idea for the forgotten players thread he used to be decent but a bit boring.

I don't remember Davy van Baelen or Richie Edwards.

I vaguely remember Paul Jennings.

[Rogg]

Assuming the wiki has them in the right order, the actual 3rd pot was this.

Dobbin, Dimi and Asp. so It was Aspinall who was ranked at #74, the PDC's Carlo van Cleef.


James Wilson
Max Hopp
Darren Webster
Chris Dobey
Dimitri Van den Bergh
Nathan Aspinall
Nathan Derry
Ted Evetts

[The Thorn]

IF BDO won the code war Carlo would have dartitis now

Van Baelen scraped a tour card at some point. A Belgian.

it would be fun visit that dimension. But would you want to come back?

[Rogg]

[sennafan24]

Imagine a dimension where the PDC and its players do not exist but the BDO circa 2015-2020 does.

A much stronger lineup than what we got.

[sennafan24]

Wasn't Hankey dire in 2016?

His game with Phillips at Lakeside that year was a farce.

[Emulsfier]

Group D
Martin Adams (5)
Brian Dawson
Dave Parletti
Jelle Klaasen

Jesus fucking christ!

[Rogg]

You can plot it all out if you want oche. The draw and seedings are there.

Oh yeah that was dreadful

But I would like to have seen PDC Players playing in BDO Conditions on a "Then" BDO dartboard at Lakeside. I suspect the winner would have been a PDC player but it would have been very interesting
