PDC Premier League 2022

some sort of qualifier system I bet

Anything that changes up the format is a good thing for me. I'll actually watch it now whereas I might not have bothered otherwise

Ya got that spot on, or you have insider knowledge!

• Gerwyn Price
• Peter Wright
• Michael van Gerwen
• James Wade
• Michael Smith
• Gary Anderson
• Jonny Clayton
• Joe Cullen

I was sure Sherrock would have been included somewhere. She'll probably show up for "exhibition" stuff along the way

I've zero interest in this.

completely past it’s sell by date and is generally about as interesting as watching paint dry.

This Thursday's fixtures.

(Jonny Clayton v Joe Cullen) v (Gerwyn Price v James Wade)

(Peter Wright v Michael Smith) v (Michael van Gerwen v Gary Anderson)

It will obviously get a bit samey as time goes on, albeit the fixtures will be different each week. I guess it does make it more interesting from a betting pov, as we'll get a winner each week in a reasonably open betting heat.

Winmau boards already proving to be in a much better state than those old Unicorn things!

Classic Wade to win with something like a mid 80s average.

Didn;t see any of this but looking at the scores it looks like the Ferret was lucky to avoid a whitewash in the final game

I am liking this new format but it has it flaws, one of them been the league positions and how the same old thing from the past could happen again. Tough enough with all the travelling to be finished after 1 game

two cracking games there in fairness mvg vs jonny and price vs cullen

Well in theory Smith can make it up at 5 points a week so he's arguably no worse off than under the old system where he would be behind by less but could only make it up at 2 points a week.

And even when it inevitably gets to the stage where a player is so far behind that he can't qualify for the playoffs, this new structure should at least stop players downing tools and losing interest. As they can still win €10K on any night with the 'glory'* of winning the competition on that night.

So in that sense it's a much better structure.

• Smith could yet have his long-term introduction changed to 'winner of the Shanghai Masters AND winner of Night 14 of the 2022 Premier League'

A 170 and two 9 darters on the night for Price. He also had 7 perfect darts in another leg. Unreal performance.

In saying that, Wade could've easily beaten him in the final if he'd hit a couple of doubles.

I definitely prefer the new format

Not on at all next week. Not sure why

Agree 100%

Can't stand him these days, has to be whinging at something

Had a go at Michael Smith last week
