Pdc "World Darts Championship" 2013

1

Starts December 14th, with the draw to be made on Tuesday. I believe.

All but one match will take place in 2012, with the final to be played on January 1st, 2013.

Here’s the draw bracket which I hope will assist any punters. van Gerwen appears to have overtaken Hamilton after the GSOD and now will play in the bottom half, which evens out the draw a little. Could there be a possibility of the draw bracket changing again due to results at this weekend’s tournament? Who knows.

2

That could well be a key leg. Winstanley should be 2-0 up in sets, now it’s 1-1. Doubles letting him down again.

3

The grudge rematch between Newton and Pipe is on I see?

Qlthough that would mean Kim Huybrechts and his mrs exiting early, which I certainly don’t want.

A lot of landmines for Taylor in that quarter. I’d fancy Thornton or Part to take him out should they win through to meet him.

5

Nicholson and Stompe look the pick of tonight’s matches.

6

I’d love to see the legendary Swede Magnus Caris cause a shock by beating Robert Thornton. Magnus played in one of the greatest matches ever seen on the Lakeside stage against Bobby George in the 1994 Embassy World Championship semi-final.

7

Caris played very well against Steve Beaton in the first round last year before the Adonis finally won 3-2. He’s very capable of giving Thornton a scare. It will be interesting to see what form Adrian Lewis is in. He’s been shocking lately.

8

Can’t wait for this. :slight_smile:

Anyone but Taylor or Lewis to win it hopefully.

9

Thornton and Nicholson both advance 3-0 and meet in the next round.

10

Co Stompe. :frowning:

11

Did anyone chance Vos @ 15/2? He looks handy :strokechin:

12

Vos takes the first set :clap:

13

Vos fallin apart now

14

Can’t stand Lewis. :guns:

15

Richie Burnett remonstrating with the crowd as they cheer his missed doubles in this deciding set. He looks very tearful.

16

Burnett in a James Wade-esque meltdown mode here.

17

Anyone watching this? I thought Fleety was bad.

18

The current champion of this tournament scored a 15 with 3 darts last night. Single 5 three times!

19

Good to hear that the 1995 World Champion progressed to Round 2 nevertheless.

20

Burnette looks mentally unstable,good to see him progress
