Which drug addled Dutchman came up with the format for the World Cup of Darts?

What was wrong with having the same format as the Davis Cup - two singles, a doubles, then the reverse singles?

As it was you could win three matches out of five and still get beat in a sudden death shootout - ludicrous!

Must admit it does seem a bizzare arrangement.Having said that the final had me on the edge of my seat at the end.
Lewis is so unpredictable,wacking in big finishes one minute,scoring 41 the next.At least it added to the tension.

Lewis and Nickleson having words at the end of the sudden death leg. Both telling each other to F**k off .

Crazy isn't it, must admit I didn't think of it like that until you pointed it out. Is it fair that the doubles games are worth 2 points? I know there's two players playing but it's still one game. I think we'll see an amendment the format before next year's tournament, it's still new and still far from being perfect. I do think the straight knock is a better format than groups though.

Do you know what they were arguing about then? because I'd love to know.

Just can't stand Lewis at times, mainly during his interviews when he feels the need to big himself up. After the final where he was saying 'I showed bottle tonight' everyone seen it lad, you don't need to tell us anything. He done it after the World Championship semi too, telling us how much bottle he had and he was the best player in the world all the time.

Apparently , It was over Nicholson's refusal to sign the Dart Board at the end of the game .

Ah, good on him. Taylor's little party trick he now does when he wins, he's not wanting to sign the board after he loses though.

Taylor v Lewis was an amazing match.

Re: Another Darts Thread : Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:35 am  

That had to be the best premier league match ever,Taylor averaging 106 and 5 legs down,Lewis with a 100% check out rate. Awesome,when Taylor really clicked it was sheer poetry and just shows why he's still the number one,9000 packed into the MEN and electric atmosphere.

Don`t know what they were arguing about t.b.h.,Nicholson to me is an argumentative s.o.b. who seems to like to stir it.Just my opinion of course.
As for Lewis,what else can he say? They all big themselves up.
