The Random Darts Discussion Thread - Page 348 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The Anderson post match interview is the best bit

We're very close to knowing the full worlds field - women's qualifiers are today (rest of the world) and next weekend (UK), German Superleague finals are tomorrow, then we're just left with the PDPA qualifiers after the Players Championship Finals confirm what we mostly already know re: who is in through the Order of Merit and the Pro Tour. There's also supposedly an African qualifier at some unknown date and time which I assume never happens and they wildcard Petersen to job in the first round

Edit - Dana into the quarters

I would guess they mostly sort out temp visas that allow them to play along with a return flight to show they're intending to leave, idk

Dana out in quarters

Probably going to be either Dobromyslova or Suzuki that makes it in although they meet in the semis, the players in the other semi are complete randoms, Suzuki supposedly hasn't lost a soft tip match all year

Edit - Dobromyslova won just now

Devon Petersen has just won the African qualifier beating some guy called Nolan Arendse 7-2.

If Uncle Barry wants darts to be big in Africa then he needs to 'network' it & not seemingly just have events behind closed doors.

I barely know any of these guys.

Gary Anderson vs. Gerwyn Price in the GSOD final & Gary really should cruise home barring fatigue.

German superleague is down to Blum/Horvat against Marijanovic/Stoyke, although they're probably at the final stage already - anyone in Germany who's got scheissdsf care to confirm?

edit - apparently Marijanovic leads Horvat 3-2

I've heard of Arendse, he played the worlds a few years ago and was awful, let's see what he's done since then... oh

What channel is the final on? I don't see it anywhere in my guide and the Sky Sports channel that usually airs it is showing NFL.

SS main event

Marijanovic won the German superleague, which is funny as dartsdatabase is calling him Croatian

Cracking come back from Price.

Can't see anything other than a Gary win here though.

Probably easiest to find an upload of the game and watch from 13-12 onwards. Basically Gerwyn being Gerwyn, Ando not liking it and going on tilt, Ando goes to the oche too soon and Gerwyn backs into him celebrating a ton or something, Ando gives him a little shove, all handbags really

sixfour, can you run that fantasy game we had for last year's PDC World Championship? Enjoyed that quite a bit.

Yeah, I'll be doing that. I'll launch it at the same time I launch my preview, I'm ahead of the game a bit on that in that I've got all the data that I can for everyone that's qualified already and I can then shove that into the BI tools that I use at work to create some pretty graphics and the like, with there being 96 players this year it's probably best to be a bit more organised for that

Anderson MVG was great as always. Price is still a huge idiot.

Anastasia Dobromyslova qualified last week and now, Lisa Ashton gets the other women's qualifying spot at the WC as she beats Maria O'Brien 6-3.

Lisa apparently had a 100+ average early on but the day took its toll and she finished at 82.49 over 36 legs.

Final four in the Players Championship are:

* Daryl Gurney vs. Danny Noppert
* Gary Anderson vs. Michael van Gerwen

There's also the World Youth Final as something to give the finalists a rest before the final between Martin Schindler & Dimitri Van den Bergh.
