Premier League DARTS Game and chat as well

Post by Rainbowmonkey »

Game 22: HUYBREXIT: Klaas of ‘17

Two there. THE 13th season of Premier League Darts begins on Thursday. This game is in the style of the tournament - a league stage followed by knockout.

Our league will run for 5 weeks, adding up the points in a league table. The top four will qualify for play-offs (1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd), to be played in week 6. The play-off winners will play for Gold and the losers for Bronze in week 7.

Predict the scores of the 5 matches each week. There is a maximum of 12 legs per match. First to 7 legs is the winner, and if goes to 6-6, the match is a DRAW. So, there are seven possible scores: 7-0, 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, 6-6. Never put 7-6. It’s impossible.

The better your prediction, the more points you get. Pick the winner, win points. Fail, fail. Feel free to predict a draw, but it’s an all-or-nothing option:

Image

Each week of the league stage, 6 bonus points will go to the person who scored the most points that week (spilt 2x3pts or 3x2pts if there are joint top scorers). Number of spot-on score predictions will be the tie-break throughout.

Post your predictions by 7pm each Thursday, in this thread or by PM.

Premier League Darts began in 2005. A 7-man round-robin leading to play-offs, played in town halls and the like, it was in the style of Premier League Snooker. Both were played on Thursday nights on Sky in alternate weeks, roughly.

Dunno what happened to the snooker one but the darts version totally exploded and the PDC with it. The first night was in Stoke, Taylor's homeland. 800 people attended:

I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

Jelly was fit. Now he's fat.

When 'fit' Jelly played the PL in 2009, he would walk on with a red rose and hand it to someone in the crowd. No.

Terry Jenkins had a moustache and the tournament was title sponsored by a whisky. It was liderally all happening. Can't believe it's 8 years since Klaasen was last in the PL, good lord.
