Has anyone been watching this?

Phil Taylor has just had a 9-dart finish and there has just been a 170 check-out by Osborne.

The format is very quick - they are playing first to 11 legs atm and there a couple of rounds per day.

wow phil is a legend!!!!!! its a great tournament any decent player can enter qualifying! the standard seems very good! long live the power!!!

[Aggrolite]

ARGHHHH. Why didn't i switch over after the tennis.....i watch some at the start at the last 64 and there was zero atmosphere there. Argh again.

The Barneveld v. Part match went to 10-10 as well.

Some good matches in the last 16 including Taylor - Priestly. Playing atm Painter v Llyod.

The quality isn't too good. Must have been a really good days play to have been at. When the 9-darter was on you could see some people 5m away that were watching anotehr game. Come on - 180,180 why are they not watching Taylor?!!

yeh great stufffrom phil! he hits 9 darters for fun! but..... barney has just battered the power 11-4 and will take on vincert van der voort in an all dutch final!!

[Gramayr]

Great vid that - just watched another one he did, £100 grand for a 9 darter

I once did an 11 darter practising when I played regularly at my local pub but that was more fluke than skill I guess

Barney has won the tournament! beating van der voort in the final!!!!!
