Since the introduction of the ADC, most of the tournaments I play in have been on a Round Robin basis, and generally no more than 32 players. Prior to that I did enter quite a few Open events around the country,which were mainly straight knockouts and had more players.
So I was thrilled to hear that there was going to be a big tournament held in Bristol. The current sign up is around 100 players, so it will be a lot of fun. The line up consists of anyone who is good in Bristol and the South West, minus professionals, (not eligible) and people like me who just want to test their arm. As a big darts fan anyway, I will get a lot out of just watching matches. If I do get knocked out early, then I have the option of a loser's plate competition. Also, I may be asked to mark some games, (for cash obviously!). So could end up paying for my day doing that.
I'll report on it tomorrow, but the current line up includes former Tour players, Challenge Tour regulars and a host of County and Superleague players from the city and surrounding area.
