    Darts Premier League Predictions Competition

    The 2015 Premier League Darts kicked off last night, and there was some interested in a competition, so going to set one up.

    Entry will be €25 a head, split 70/30 to pay 2 places. If players want to make match bets between themselves, then that's encouraged.

    The competition will run for the next 15 weeks until it's conclusion on 21st May. Fixtures are played on a Thursday night from 7pm, so all weekly entries must be sent in by 6.30pm on that day. If somebody that has paid their entry fails/forgets to send in their entries, all of their predictions will automatically be entered as a score of 6-6.

    The Premier League works as follows. Each week (Wk 1-9) there are 5 games feauturing 10 players in a first to 7 legs game. A max of 12 legs can be played, so games can finish in a 6-6 draw. The 2 players at the foot of the table after Week 9 are elminated. The remaing players will then play each other one more time (Wk 10-15) with some players playing twice a night until 16 group games have been played. The top 4 will progress to the semi-final, where they will play that game, and the final on the following Thursday.

    So, here's how it works. You'll make your score prediction for the coming week's fixtures. e.g.

    Dave Chisnall 5-7 Peter Wright
    Raymond Van Barneveld 3-7 Adrian Lewis
    Kim Huybrechts 3-7 Michael Van Gerwen
    Gary Anderson 6-6 Phil Taylor
    Stephen Bunting 7-4 James Wade


    Just so that everyone doesn't play it safe and go for the bookies pick, the points for picking a correct score will be weighted as below:

    6-6 = 5 points
    7-5 = 4 points
    7-4 = 4 points
    7-3 = 5 points
    7-2 = 6 points
    7-1 = 7 points
    7-0 = 8 points


    You will score 2 points if you pick the correct selection, but failed to pick the correct score.

    In the above example, the scores would be:

    Dave Chisnall 5-7 Peter Wright (0)
    Raymond Van Barneveld 3-7 Adrian Lewis (2)
    Kim Huybrechts 3-7 Michael Van Gerwen (5)
    Gary Anderson 7-5 Phil Taylor (4)
    Stephen Bunting 7-4 James Wade (0)

    In this example, the player scores 11 from a max of 28 points available on the night.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When we move into Week 10, we'll just carry on as normal for the 2nd group phase with each player getting 2 additional Golden Darts to play for Weeks 10-15

    For Week 16, the SF's (first to 8) and final (first to 10) predictions will work as follows. No Golden Darts can be used for the shootout stages.

    Semi-Finals

    Predict the correct score of the SF

    8-7 = 4 points
    8-6 = 4 points
    8-5 = 5 points
    8-4 = 6 points
    8-3 = 7 points
    8-2 = 8 points
    8-1 = 9 points
    8-0 = 10 points

    A correct winner without finding the correct score gets 2 points.

    Final

    Predict the correct score of the Final*

    10-9 = 4 points
    10-8 = 4 points
    10-7 = 5 points
    10-6 = 6 points
    10-5 = 7 points
    10-4 = 8 points
    10-3 = 9 points
    10-2 = 10 points
    10-1 = 10 points
    10-0 = 10 points

    * The SF and final are on the same night, so you must give a prediction for all possible outcomes for the final in the same post.

    e.g.

    Semi

    Adrian Lewis 5-8 Michael Van Gerwen
    Gary Anderson 6-8 Phil Taylor

    Final

    Adrian Lewis 7-10 Gary Anderson
    Adrian Lewis 8-10 Phil Taylor
    Michael Van Gerwen 10-6 Gary Anderson
    Michael Van Gerwen 10-6 8 Phil Taylor

    You also get to pick 2 bonus selections for each night from the following categories: Highest Average, Lowest Average, Most 180s, Highest Checkout

    You are free to pick whichever player you want for any of the categories, but you must only pick 2. e.g.

    Highest Checkout: Adrian Lewis
    Most 180s: Chizzy


    You will get 3 points for any correct selections from the bonus section.*

    *If 2 or more players tie for the Averages (unlikely) or the high checkout, you will score the max 3 points each. If 2 or more players tie for the 180s, then the points will be divided (2 players 1.5 points, 3 players 1 point etc)

    Please note that during a matchday where a player players twice, you must specify whch game are choosing for your bonus selection. If you fail to specifiy it, the first game he plays will automatically be chosen.

    There's 9 weeks of group games (1 gone obviously, so 8 left). Each player gets 3 Golden Darts to play on any of their selection over the next 8 weeks. If their Golden Dart prediction is correct, they will score double points e.g.

    Week 3: Lewis Most 180s (Golden Dart)
    Week 5: Wade 6-6 Taylor (Golden Dart) etc

    Only 1 Golden Dart can be used on a particular matchday.

    All players must PM me their weekly predictions, and I will start a new thread each week with everyone's selections. (I can PM my selections to someone if they want) This thread can be used for banter or whatever.

    Will get an interest list going, and then will give payment details. If anyone fancies escrowing funds, that would be great because I'm back using my stars account etc, but if nobody volunteers, i'll sort something out.

    Post here if you're in, or if you have any questions or suggestions, just shoot.

                                I pick 2 bonus games
                                I pick one of the above as a 'golden dart'

                                I PM you the above.

                                  • 5 matches a night, so first thing to do is pick the results of these 5 games.
                                  • Next, choose a player(s) for 2 of the following 4 categories; Highest Average, Lowest Average, Most 180s, Highest Checkout.
                                  • You have 3 Golden Darts for the first phase (until 2 players are elimated from the groups, so 9 matches played) so you don't have to use it this week.
