European Championship Darts -- Game, Chat

[Rainbowmonkey]

The 9th edition of the European Championship is from Friday 28th – Sunday 30th October, live on ITV4 from Hasselt, Belgium.

Nice simple legplay and a nice simple game. The more accurate your score predictions, the more points you get. If you get the match winner correct, you are guaranteed some points. If you get the match winner wrong, you get zero:

Richardson beats Caven here we go...

158 for Richardson to break for 4-1, with Caven sitting on Tops to hold. Great moment bang in the middle of an unacceptable mound of absolute horseshit.

[Rainbowmonkey]

Plop it in the address bar or save if you find this murky.

[Rainbowmonkey]

Smiff misses one dart at tops to beat Bunter... and loses.

Very good game. 99.55 average for Bunts and twas much higher pre-choketime.

Hopp v Benito now. Final match of the afternoon.
