Welcome to the Forum WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS competition, with real money prizes for the top 3 places, courtesy of Betfair.
This competition encompasses both the PDC AND BDO versions of the championship.
It runs from Dec 13th (Friday) and January 12th – (Day of the BDO final).
Entries MUST be in by 6pm Friday 13th, the thread will be locked after this time. – I’ll remind you again at the bottom of this post
This is how it works:
There are 12 sections. All very much like last year's competition.
You have to pick 1 name or number (depending on which section) for each one. The scores for each selection are listed below.
Just put the letters A to L with your choice for each – preferably going downwards, followed by a tie-break answer (Final, final score).
The people with the highest scores at the end of the tournament will win as follows: 1st - £50, 2nd - £30, 3rd - £20, In bets for the BF Sportsbook.
In the event of ties, the tiebreak will be operated, if there's still a tie, the prizes will be added and divided equally among those involved in the tie.
These links will tell you everything you need to know should you want to study a bit and not just guess. I recommend having a look at them.
