Tuesday 18 August was a busy night across the grassroots game, with 39 tournaments added to the Q4QS database and some seriously impressive numbers appearing along the way.
The headline performance came from Mat Caste, who produced a spectacular 112.69 average on his way to victory in Milton Keynes, while Bryan Flew, Dan Williams, Sam Jackson and Jamie Chaplin were among several other players combining big scoring with tournament success.
There was plenty happening closer to home too, including a ten-win night for Steve Boundy at Portishead.
Caste steals the show with 112.69
The performance of the night belonged to Mat Caste at the Windmill Hill Golf Centre Vault Break in Milton Keynes.
Caste produced a huge 112.69 average during the tournament and backed it up with another ton-plus performance of 100.63.
More importantly, he turned the numbers into a tournament victory, finishing with seven wins and beating Adam King 3–0 in the final.
A 112 average at any level catches the eye, and producing another 100+ performance during the same competition makes Caste's night particularly impressive.
Boundy wins ten at Portishead
There was plenty to celebrate at Portishead Workmens Darts, where Steve Boundy came through Freddie's Birthday Bash.
Boundy amassed an impressive ten victories during the competition before beating Jack Collins 3–0 in the final.
The biggest average at the event actually came from Logun Godbeer, whose 91.09 topped the night's figures. Max Maggs, Phil Woodall and Andy Darbon all recorded 83.50 averages, while Boundy's best was 81.24.
It was a good example of why looking beyond the single highest average often tells you much more about a tournament – Boundy's consistency ultimately carried him all the way through.
Williams dominates at the Railway
Dan Williams produced one of Tuesday's most complete performances at the Railway Inn Round-Robin.
Williams won nine matches, beat Charlie Mossman 3–0 in the final and produced a superb 103.66 average during his run.
That wasn't an isolated burst either. Williams also recorded two 91.09 averages and an 88.41, making his overall performance one of the strongest of the night.
Flew fires in 107 at Tredegar
Another huge performance came from Bryan Flew at the Tredegar Vault Break.
Flew produced a massive 107.36, the second-highest individual average recorded across Tuesday's Q4QS results.
He also hit 92.02 twice, including in his 3–0 final victory over Callum Smith, to complete an excellent tournament-winning performance.
Chaplin comes through a high-quality Wicketts event
There were some excellent numbers at the Wicketts Tuesday Round Robin.
Daniel Astbury produced averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 96.97, but it was Jamie Chaplin who eventually claimed the title.
The pair met in the final and Chaplin produced a 96.69 average to win 3–1.
Both players finished with eight victories, making this one of the strongest head-to-head stories from Tuesday's results.
Jackson combines a ton average with the title
Sam Jackson also joined Tuesday's 100 club at St John's.
Jackson recorded a 100.20 average during the competition and eventually defeated Mark Burns 4–2 in the final.
Like Boundy at Portishead, Jackson finished the tournament with ten victories, underlining the consistency required to negotiate these longer round-robin competitions.
Plenty happening on the JDC VOLTS circuit
Tuesday also brought another busy programme of JDC VOLTS action.
Among the winners were Jack Powell at Resolven, Jenson Macey in Gosport, Tyler Shuck at Halesowen, Luke Bennett in Minehead, Lucas Milligan at Blackwood and Spencer Edwards at Ogmore Vale.
Macey produced a particularly impressive sequence in Gosport, recording a best of 85.89 and winning seven matches on his way to the title.
In Minehead, Luke Bennett took the title with six victories, while Ryan Elliott produced the tournament's highest recorded average at 73.32.
More winners across a busy Tuesday
There were plenty of other performances worth noting.
Darren Malt won his Cash Prize Round Robin with eight victories and a best of 93.94, while Clayton Ford also recorded eight wins on his way to the Chinnor Pavilion Vault Break title.
Lloyd Walker won the Fareham MIMO, George Whyte came through the IDL Super GP in Ruislip, Andy Hammond won at Widden Rugby Club and Taylor Mcguckian produced a 90.18 on the way to victory at Bedworth.
And at Newent, Sharon Brewer took the women's singles title with a 3–1 final victory over Ruby Kennedy.
A night of big numbers
The depth of Tuesday's scoring was perhaps the biggest story.
Mat Caste – 112.69
Bryan Flew – 107.36
Nathan Bull – 103.66
Dan Williams – 103.66
Rich Griffee – 102.48
Caste added another 100.63, while Stephen Cake, Sam Jackson and Daniel Astbury all recorded 100.20 averages.
Not everyone producing those numbers went on to win, which is another reminder of just how unpredictable these competitions can be.
Across 39 tournaments, Tuesday provided everything from junior events and Under-65 competitions to Vaults and money-in-money-out round robins – and another huge collection of results to feed into the growing Q4QS database.
