Competitions SCS Premier League Darts- World Championships - Tuesday 27th December @10:00pm AEDT
- Thread starter The Banker
- Start date
These would be my thoughts to circumvent the issue of a player withdrawing in a PL week (late):
1) If a player withdraws late, anyone who picks them, is automatically given their opponent (eg - Those who had Price, are given Cullen straight up)
2) Captains - 2 Thoughts - Either we all give a VC whom, like fantasy football etc, comes on as captain… and/or, if no VC is given, the player automatically gets the lowest ranked player they picked as VC (not including the substitute).
Just my thoughts though.

Sorry guys, couple of things happening has affected my ability to be around this morning. I was obviously thinking this would just be smooth sailing and 7 matches would be played. That’s not the case.
Rowsus obviously at an advantage with the time zone is the only participant that changed an entry before lockout. I think everyone would have changed their entries.
I see 1 option as per the rules:
No replacement player is awarded as stated in the rules when the entry was posted, making Rowsus the only entry accepted for changes.
Or we void the week.
What I will add, is that this may have also changed my team setup as a non Price owner, so I don’t think it’s as clear cut as Price owners get Cullen.

Dependant on private entries, it seems pretty harsh on my entry, being the only one that had Price as captain to be double punished - Especially considering I at least changed my captain prior to their game commencing.
**Understanding that their is a defined lock out.
NB - Ahhh, whatever, it’s just a game… I’ll go with status quo.

Cullen has been awarded a 6-0 win.
My problem with all this is effectively choosing Cullen gains 5 points. Everybody would choose Cullen. Even myself who was taking a punt on Anderson. Banking 5 points would have been much more sensible route.
For that reason, and with so much grey area, I believe the only reasonable outcome is to void the round.
Obviously this would set a precedent going forward for the Premier League. In relation to big field events on multiple days I think the course of action is to continue as normal, as trading periods apply from day to day.

I haven’t calculated them as yet. Just been dealing with a family issue the past couple of days, which I was hoping I didn’t have to bring to light, and could just do the results tonight on the basis that 7 matches were played. Of course that hasn’t been the case.
I imagine with Smith making the final and defeating Anderson, that I am at a loss, and the few players that didn’t captain MVG are at a loss, some with Price, some not. The grey area is where Cullen lies in team selection, not just for those who would make an easy switch from Price, but everybody.
So I’d say half have won and half have lost out of all of this from initial teams.
I will do a calculation tonight.

@The Banker, family first. Always.

Just catching up on this.
I am not taking this that seriously so not overly fussed with what happens but my instinct is that unless there is a specific rule to the contrary the 6-0 Cullen victory should stand and be scored accordingly. Who can say that wouldn’t have happened had Price played. Long odds I know but so was him withdrawing.
I think it is unfair on those that will score well this round to just void the round. Note I have no sense of how I scored this round other than I had neither Price nor Cullen.
The only contra argument that does resonate with me is that it seems as though it became known that Price was dropping out meaning those who became aware could gain an advantage that others didn’t get the opportunity to.
Don‘t agree with the suggestion to give Cullen his points and void Price‘s penalty. Neither threw a dart in the match.
I also thinking voiding a round is a dangerous precedent because other unexpected things could happen and affected players could then justifiable argue that that round gets voided as well. For example what happens if a player wins a match, gets injured or sick and then can’t front up for the next game. Obviously we need some rules to deal with this moving forward.
Finally another pragmatic solution would be to award half points for this round. At least those that did well get some reward and those that were adversely affected don’t get penalise as much.

I don’t know what the right and wrong answer is. In all honesty this is a curveball I don’t think anyone expected.
To get technical though. Your entry came in at 0920hrs this morning, which is nearly after the event, and regardless of the circumstances around it, the knowledge of results, and the team that got put in, it’s pretty late.
So how do I treat your entry? Do you feel others would be satisfied if I granted you points?
