    Just wondering what interest there is in holding another one? The first one Kingp held was very successful and afaik the one that Carrickman held wasn't completed due to players not playing their games. (Not sure of the circumstances because i didn't partake due to my bad IC)

    Anyway, i think everyone who was played in these before has enjoyed it, so i wonder would ye be up for it again? Obviously i'm just putting the idea out there, so if Kingp or Carrickman want to take the reigns for it i've no problem, if they don't want to, i'd have no problem trying to run it either.

    I think the major problem with this is that people say they'll play and then wont. If this is run right, we'll need some sort of assurances that people will play i think.

    Anyway..... any thoughts?:)

    A league i think as we all found out is too demanding. if theres enough interest i'll organise and knockout/round robin like kingp did or he can do it. Anyone who puts there name down but doesn't have a good excuse and cancel games in advance should be banned from competing in others. Of course theres exceptions like computer's die, family get sick etc...

    I'd agree with this.

    get 16 names, decide on a format and than we play over the dartpro program or ezchalk depending on whether its still full of viruses.

    We play over an online scoring system called ezchalk

    http://www.ezchalk.com/

    Obviously it works on honesty but we don't really have a problem with people putting wrong scores up on here because most of us are only doing it to improve their game.

    Cool, but generally we would play twice a week and each game takes about an hour, so if you can commit to this there is no problem.

    or banned from the forum! :D

    Devastator's opinions....Harsh....Harsh but fair :p



    I would like to play, but I'm sh*t and I'm having real bad laptop problems. I've ordered new RAM last night to try and solve this, but its not due to be delivered for about a week. If there is a space left and you've not started by time I (hopefully) get laptop fixed then I'll play but don't count me in because I don't want to take up a space someone else may appreciate

    If you get your computer sorted you should play. You can't be any worse than me (in all likelyhood better) but it really improves your game. I actually find myself playing better than usual in it. It's nice to play the 70-80 averages and taking a leg off them etc. Nobody cares if you ain't great because the general goal for all of us is to improve our game.

    sounds like a good bit of craic lads but that link to ezchalk doesn't work.

    Also, I wouldn't be particularly flash myself. Given that its based on honesty anyway would it be possible to have a 'beginnner standard' tournament or something if theres a few of us that aren't the best

    If you want to play then sign up in the other thread.

    It doesn't matter if you average 20, there are players of all standards in it and it's only a laugh anyway and to help you practice. Costs nothing to play so you may as well give it a go.

    You definately won't be a whipping boy like me! With a 60 average you'll do pretty well i'd say, won't win it, but will do pretty well.

    Make sure you'll be able to commit to it and check back regularily for updates.... just saying because your a new poster that's it. Good luck!
