Competitions SCS Premier League Darts- World Championships - Tuesday 27th December @10:00pm AEDT

[Professor]

With the announcement of the final 4 Premier League participants, I will open...

EVENT #2 - Cazoo Premier League

The event takes a different shape this year in that each of the 16 weeks will be an 8 player knockout tournament, with rotation so that everyone will play each other twice. The makeup of the extra 2 matches on Night 8 and Night 16 will see the knockout tournament fixtures based off the league tables. Ranking points for this event will see the weekly winner receiving 5 points, the runner-up 3 points, and the semi-finalists 2 points.

The details around team selection is as follows:

*Player cost is simply PDC Order of Merit earnings.
*Each week I will ask that participants create a new 4 player team based upon the bracket draw of that weeks tournament.
*Any 4 player combination, not containing Price and Wright in the same entry, will be accepted. So no need to get the calculators out.
*The above table shows the scoring methods for the tournament. Negative legs are off the table. The bonus has been replaced by the official points the PDC is handing out to the players based on their finishing result. These points have also replaced the need for 3 win points being handed out.
*Captain x2 only. Changes may be made from week to week. Default captaincy will revert to highest valued player 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.

LOCKOUTS:
Each lockout will be Friday morning AEDT. (Time to be confirmed when released. Given past history I would imagine 0600hrs)

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.

I will update with this weeks bracket draw and time when this information is released.

Good luck.

Just confirming, if I forget or on purpose 🙂 to list a captain, you apply it to the highest dollar value and not the highest scorer. Otherwise we'd all be going default.

Highest dollar

FYI and to be clear, I’ve just amended that Captaincy points are doubled for all scoring methods on the table. Just to clear up that picking the weekly tournament winner as captain will earn 10 points rather than 5, 6 for the finalist rather than 3, and 4 for the semi-finalist rather than the standard 2.

Just a couple of things.

I’m unsure that there will be a continuation of the 5,3,2 system following the Premier league event.
I have chosen to use this system as this is the way this tournament is being scored by the PDC.

It is highly likely that we will go back to the 3 points for a match win and 5 point bonus for holding the winner throughout for future events, with the possibility of a 10 point bonus for the final event at the World Champs.

Nonetheless the table looks 👍

All good ... just wanted to see what it would have looked like since that is what we'll be using for the next ~17 weeks

I think you have the rounds a bit wrong, refer to post 277. There are more rounds in England than you have listed. Nice table though.

Yep - you are correct and am in discussions with @The Banker to get it amended in a few hours time with his input
