    Well with the big tournament less than a week away I thought it's the right time to open a tournament thread. The seedings and rankings for the players has been announced and the draw will be held Monday evening. Link to seedings and pools; www.pdc.tv/page/GrandSlamDetail/0,,10180~2211122,00.html

    Wade in serious form lately, Taylor virtually unstoppable over a long distance though.

    Wonder how Ted Hankey handles the crowd this year? Took flak off the BDO crowd last week, moreso than usual I feel.

    Some very interesting groups after been drawn but surely the clash of Taylor and Hankey in group H will be the most anticipated! How will the crowds react to Hankey? The BDO followers are usually a quite bunch but even they were booing Ted last weekend in Hull! An interesting game lies ahead!

    Will it be shown here on itv4 or will we get the "Not available in Ireland " message again?

    big John Henderson should go well now that he looks on form judging by the way he qualified. It may not happen but i want Martin Phillips to win or Webster..

    I think he has a resonable chance against Newton & Van Gerwen. I wouldn't be surprised if all three of them finished level on points.

    Group H is very tasty. Most of the groups are very tough to call, should be a cracking tournament.

    It's been asked already but can anyone confirm if UPC have the rights to show this on IT4 in Ireland?

    Newton on top form though! Won 2 player championships at the weekend.

    MVG can be bit hit & miss at times

    I watched it last year on ITV4 on free to air satellite so I can't see why UPC can't show it free on their package?

    Group A includes this year's runners up from both World Championships. Simon Whitlock has had a great year with numerous victories in the PDC floor tournaments and has been in the media spotlight throughout the year and will be 1 of the favourites to win this tournament out.

    Dave Chisnall surprised many with a great run in Lakeside this year which saw him reach the final only to lose to Adams 7-5. Even though Chisnall has had a quite year since,not playing many tournaments knowing his place for Lakeside 2011 was safe from been this year's runner up,I reckon he'll do well in the Grand Slam and I could see both Whitlock and Chisnall qualifying from Group A.

    John Henderson is worth an each way bet at 150/1. He Beat Hamilton, Farmer and Ovens in the wildcard qualifier.

    I really fancy Wes Newton to do serious damage in darts over the next 12 months and i hope he follows up his form (two player championship wins last week in barnsley in 2 days ) then he will be a serious contender....
    Huge fan of the Power but i have a feeling he wont win this

    Have UPC given any reason why the darts coverage is blocked on their package? ITV4 is a free to air channel,I just can't understand why the darts can't be shown on the UPC package? I reckon this is 1 of the best tournaments on TV with 2 of darts best analysts Alan Warriner and Chris Mason on view and an unbiased commentary team and no Sid Waddell or Tony Green to listen to!
