Tournament kicks off tomorrow night with a real decent looking night of arras.
John Part v Mareno Michels
Rob Szabo v Ian Moss (P)
Peter Wright v Joe Cullen
Phil Taylor v Szabo/Moss
Richie Burnett v Dean Winstanley
Compared to some first round sessions that's a good one! Should be at least 2 reasonably competitive encounters. Shame it's my works Christmas do tomorrow so I'm out!

I've got the same issue on Saturday night so will miss out on some belting matches then.
There's no way they'll be able to drag that out over an hour. I reckon the first set of Thornton's game will be on the red button as well.
Well the matches have been switched at Sky's request. By time they do the intro to the show etc, then the first game wont start until 715 ish. Maybe a set of the Thornton V Hopp game will be red button but at least they had sense to ask to swap matches around.
One of those rare instances where 5 live sporting events are on at once and only 4 channels

Yep, just unfortunate that it's happened on this weekend.
I wish they'd show a %age of intended target hit stat....y'know like they do for the doubles but extend it for every shot. It'd be a better barometer of excellence than the three dart average which can be false sometimes.
Lovely 136 from Michels which seemed to unsettle Part a little bit but Part holds to win the first set of the Championships.
First time i've seen him play. Seems like a nifty little player.
Unlucky to come up against Part, who although is not as good as he was and possibly hindered by glasses, can still be a class act and is very used to the big stage, lights, crowd etc.

This is his PDC Worlds debut. He was in two BDO worlds in the 00's but got beat first round both times. But he has won a few tournaments in his time so no mug.
Think this year could be the year with least amount of commentators
Studd, Pyke and Pearson plus Mardle, Harrington and Eric ( probably Part too ). First time there isn't either Sid, John Gwynne or Dave Lanning at the worlds.

Its the Prelim game that is on the red button.

Hey cease Fanta TC ( ouch
A Shiny Shiny example of the culture of Hull
Oh very good :cool:
Still, done well to get 2 legs back and now going for the match.
Should have seen that one out 3-0. A win's a win, though.
