Great stuff all. Really enjoyed organising it, and how much everyone seemed to have fun. Was cool to fiddle with a new interesting format too. Thanks to everyone for taking part, and much appreciate the kind thanks messages of your own. :) May I also offer my congratulations too, Matt. A very good ...

Spoilers For Friday July 2nd 2010

Hmmm, i'm still getting over the disappointment of Jonathan losing yesterday. :( :cry: Well, we certainly won't be seeing him in the finals at Christmas. One person we might see though is his conqueror, Ryan Loughborough, who managed to halt the champions' merry-go-round for the time being yesterday...

Re: Spimliminees for Thursday 1st July 2010

Oh my goodness :!: :shock: :o There was me being so confident when Jonathan got FLEAPITS that it was game, set and match. I also thought he'd get UNBIASED too. Well, that proves me wrong big time. :oops: :( :cry: 2nd Numbers Alt.: (7 x 100) - ((9 + 6 + 3) x 10) = 520 By the way, did anyone else noti...

Re: Spoilers For Thursday 1st July 2010

Rather than waste starting another spoiler thread, I thought I'd add today's main info to the prelim spoiler thread. We have yet another new champion in Ryan Loughborough, who doesn't come from Loughborough or attended Loughborough University. Well, hardly anyone does what their surname suggests do ...

Re: How to make darts better

Replace the numbers with letters so you can play Countdown. Ideas for positions of letters please. There are 20 numbers, so get rid of the 6 worst letters, so bye bye J, Q, V, W, X, Z. Then A=1, B=2, C=3, etc., all the way up to Y for 20. And if you hit doubles or trebles, then 2 or 3 of that lette...
