    2016 Darts Premier League Competition.

    This will be a Flushdraw Gamesmaster production, just doing the opening thread for him.

    The 2016 Premier League Darts kicks off on Thursday and continues for a total of 16 weeks. We ran a successful predictions competition last year and will hopefully do so again.

    Entry will be €25 a head, split 70/30 to pay 2 places.

    Fixtures are played on a Thursday night from 7pm, so all weekly entries must be sent in by 6.30pm on that day.

    Each week (Wk 1-9) there are 5 games featuring 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 eliminated. The remaining 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.

    Peter Wright 5-7 Michael Smith
    Michael van Gerwen 7-1 James Wade
    Phil Taylor 7-0 Raymond van Barnevald
    Gary Anderson 6-6 Adrian Lewis
    Robert Thornton 7-4 David Chisnail

    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:

    If your players win odds with Paddypower are less than 5/2 at the time the game week thread is opened.

    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.

    If your players win odds with Paddypower are 5/2 or greater at the time the game week thread is opened then he will be 'enhanced' and this will be pointed out in that gameweek thread.

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

    You will score 4 points if you pick the correct selection, but failed to pick the correct score.

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

    From week 9 the competition is reduced to 8 darts player but we continue on as normal.

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

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


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Golden Darts. You can mark any of your selections as a Golden Dart. If this selections wins points then those points will be doubled. You get 3 Golden Darts from Weeks 1 to 9, and a further 2 from Weeks 10 to 15.
    Only 1 Golden Dart can be used on a particular matchday.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Notes.

    *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 which game are choosing for your bonus selection. If you fail to specifiy it, the first game he plays will automatically be chosen.

    All players must PM Flushdraw with their weekly predictions. Everyones selections will be posted before 7pm on the Thursday.

    Weeks 16 (semi finals and final) will be confirmed nearer the day when they clarify the format.

    Payment/escrow details to follow.

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

                      Nah.

                      Half the fun is playing it with guys you know and have some banter. Not interested if a load of unknown guys join up, plus it would be a nightmare doing results etc. Happy enough with a similar number to last year.

                                    Thanks AJ,

                                    If you can look after Wk1 it would be great. I'm in Malta and busy during the day and doing some work at night so haven't got time.

                                    I'll PM payment details to people in the next day or so. Stars is best, but can accept Boyles if people can't do stars.
