Maximus Decimus Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Q school started today, although nothing is decided just yet. This is the bit where literally anyone can enter, and I always love looking at those people who've paid £500 but are absolutely terrible. There was a guy in the UK today who average 45 without ever throwing at a double. For context, a blindfolded person could expect to get over 38. There was a worse average in Europe (39.1) with a winning average of only 44 or so, but these two were stuck on double 1 in a number of the legs. 1 A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Maximus Decimus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Well it's been smashed today, a Scandinavian player averaged 33 without ever getting to a double. That is just terrible luck! Just to make it clear so I don't sound patronising, if I easy had £500 to spare and no work commitments I would absolutely go to Q school on the off chance of playing a top player (Barnie was there last year). Accounting for nerves and embarrassment, I've always figured I'd probably be a disaster but I'm confident I could get more than 33! I'd just throw with my eyes shut. 1 A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League? An honest appraisal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Somw big names in Q school this year, I got to the final qualifier in the UK open once, had to win three sames at that stage to qualify for the TV stage. Won the first game quite easy with around 74 average and thought "yes ill murder this" then come upon a Scottish international who demolished me averaging around 95 and getting 5 180's in 6 legs. I only won a leg as he missed 9 darts at a double! Its hard up on that stage 3 "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, got dartitis then and its been downhill ever since unfortunately but love my Thursday night out with the lads.

RoyBoy295 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Went watching my son at Q school in Wigan a few years ago, saw a host of big names and quite a few local lads from the local leagues having a go. At £500+ for a few days is a lot of cash if your not good enough. The UK Open qualifiers are a good start to see where your capabilities lie against the general darting public.
