Seems a bit more support for him tonight but doubt that will help as it will just increase the noise levels.

He's played well so far, praying for 5-2 though

The throw off was a let down mind you, one proper leg might have been a better option but in truth wade was right Hamilton should have gone through by virtue of beating him fair and square when they played their proper game.

It seems a fair option to me. It (in theory) means that the players should be aiming to win every leg, even in 4-0 up or 4-0 down as every leg gained could be hugely significant at the end of the group stage.

It's actually been a pretty decent week of darts IMO. I can't wait for the Worlds now.

Agree on the principal as it keeps everyone trying but it was probably because it ended in a damp squid that I made that comment.

I think one full leg would be more exciting as the pressure would build and getting a double under those circumstances would really take bottle and make the winner feel he has deserved his win (which Wade did not come accross as the way he was feeling about it).

Great tournament I agree and probably only behind the 2 World Championships in stature now I'd say.

A good thing about the tournament is that it shows that the divide between the BDO and the PDC, in terms of player quality, isn't as wide as people suggest.
