Hi all,

Having recently played the fantasy competition at the recent 2022 World Championships, and given there is no other fantasy platform that I am aware of, I have decided to run a season long competition for those interested in testing their hand at darts.
So that brings me to the release of the SCS Premier League Darts competition, which will be featuring the biggest darts events on the calendar. The schedule I have devised is as follows:

View attachment 38620

The first event kicks off Saturday morning 0600hrs AEDT, the Ladbrokes Masters. Below is the tournament bracket and scoring method for the Ladbrokes Masters.

*Note Simon Whitlock is an alternate entry as Danny Noppert has pulled out.

The details around team selection for the Ladbrokes Masters are as follows:

*Player cost is simply PDC Order of Merit earnings. This will be the method used all season long.
*Initial team size is 6 and has a salary cap of 3mil pounds. Team selection must include 2 top 8 players and be filled out by "rest" players.
*Trading period will be announced after the completion of the 2nd round (Sunday morning), and ahead of the final day's action beginning approx Sunday 2245hrs AEDT. Any 4 player team combinations within 3mil pounds salary cap will be accepted.
*Scoring is as follows from the above chart, with 5 bonus points awarded to a participant holding the Masters winner through the entirety of the tournament.
*Captain x2 and VC x1.5 for both rounds of the tournament and all avenues of scoring in the chart, except for the tournament winner bonus points. Changes in C/VC may occur during trading period. Please be clear and concise of choices. Default captaincy will revert to highest and 2nd highest valued players if not stipulated.
*Should there be a withdrawal during a tournament, that is the luck of the draw, and no replacement player or points will be awarded.
*In the event that an entry exceeds value and the entry remains unamended at lockout, the lowest cost player exceeding value will be automatically transferred to the lowest cost player that doesn't exceed value. (eg a team 50K over budget that has selected White as cheapest player has no alternative selection. If Searle is next cheapest player he would be automatically substituted by Dolan who is the cheapest alternative to fit into salary constraints). Within time constraints of lockout, I will PM participant if I notice an over budget entry, but it falls on the participant themselves to calculate the cost of their team before submitting.

LOCKOUTS:
1st/2nd Round Saturday 29th 0600hrs AEDT
QF-Final Sunday 30th 2245hrs AEDT

Entries can be simply posted in the thread or via PM to myself. If a participant chooses to PM their entry it will be disclosed after lockout has closed.
Due to Covid, it would be wise to leave posting an entry until at the earliest Thursday 27th (however an early indication of participation would be encouraged and helpful).

All welcome to join, and I hope to receive your entry. For integrity, I will be sending my entry to @Connoisseur by the lockout closure.

I intend to advertise event #2 Cazoo Premier League once the field is set at the conclusion of the Ladbrokes Masters next Monday morning.

Regards,
Andrew

Let’s spice this up a little...

I’m offering up 3 prizes for the podium finishers as paid entries into the 2023 AFL SuperCoach cash leagues run on-site. I assume everyone plays Supercoach else that's awkward, but enough incentive to take it up next year haha.

1st - $100 league entry
2nd - $50 league entry
3rd - $20 league entry

I’m not expecting to take a podium position but if I do its fair game and that entry will be used for my team.

Hopefully that's enough incentive to get some further entries.

@The Banker has kindly set up a fantasy darts format here at SCS given the gap in the market much to the delight of the darts fanatics here at SCS. It is a salary cap based format (based on player earnings from the Order of Merit) which will cover all of the televised and major tournaments in 2022, of which most are available on Kayo, for those wishing to extract more bang for their buck.

@The Banker has very generously offered to cover the entry fees for 2023 SCS AFL Supercoach leagues to the coaches who finish in the top three positions at the completion of the season after the 2023 PDC World Championships.

No knowledge of the players or sport is necessary and as myself and countless others that participate in the international formats can attest to, it is one of the biggest advantages. There is a common misconception that you must consume as much information or watch as much of the game as possible for success at fantasy sports but this is highly inaccurate and you will be pleasantly surprised at how well your strategies transfer to other formats and with the amount of astute coaches on this site, a lack of knowledge surrounding a sport should be of no hindrance.

Take for example @Bermi. He joined us over in the NFL thread in 2019 without having any interest in the NFL or knowledge about the sport and the various terms (fantasy or otherwise) floated around. In the space of 3 seasons, he has improved year on year and in the season just completed he finished in the top 100 for Sportsdeck NFL from 2331 participants and also won a $500 weekly prize in the 7Plus NFL fantasy game. The camaraderie in these tight knit communities always comes up as a highlight of the season, as well as the time and effort put in by members in providing advice to coaches when deciding what course of action to take or to provide them with an alternative to consider, is a testament to the culture set and maintained by those that frequent SCS.

Therefore, with the prizes on offer and to support this wonderful initiative I strongly urge coaches to give it a go, as what do you have to lose?

Were handball receives ever identified as a discrete scoring category? Don’t ever recall seeing this before…

Nor do I ... would love to see some stats from last year showing which players had the most handball receives - my suspicion is the dogs will have quite a few ranked highly as they love to share the ball around so Macrae/Bont/Daniel should feature near the top I am guessing.

Looking back through several threads it is not a recent addition and has been around for at least the past 7 seasons.
