Forum Competition - WORLD DARTS championships - with prizes

Welcome to the Forum WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS competition, with prizes of Sportsbook bets for the top 3 places, courtesy of Betfair.

This competition encompasses both the PDC AND BDO versions of the championship.
It runs from Dec 17th (Thursday) and January 10th – (Day of the BDO final).
Entries MUST be in by 6pm Thursday, no entries will be accepted after this time. – I’ll remind you again at the bottom of this post

This is how it works: For those of you who haven't taken part before.

There are 12 sections.
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. To be taken as Sportsbook bets.
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.

A. The 1st round, what will be the score in the match between 20th seed Justin Pipe and former BDO world champion Christian Kist?
For those of us who find watching Mr Pipe hard to do, this section is now a reason to suffer.
choose from 0-3, 1-3, 2-3, 3-2, 3-1, or 3-0.Please Put JUSTIN PIPE’S score first
Score 3 points for exact, 1 point for getting the winner right but not the score.

B.How many of these 16 players will reach the last 16 (They’re the top 16 seeds, I think)
M. van Gerwen, G. Anderson, P. Taylor, P. Wright, A. Lewis, R. Thornton, J. Wade, M. Smith, I. White, S. Whitlock, T. Jenkins, K. Huybrechts, D. Chisnall, M. King, V. van der Voort, R. van Barneveld.

F. How many 180’s will be scored in total in the 2 Semi-Finals?
2 matches, both best of 11 sets. I’ll have to watch these and count them, hopefully some of you can do the same!?!

The organiser's (that's me) decision is final. I'll try to update scores and standings at the end of each day's play, or whenever there is updating to do.
If I've made any mistakes (possible), please tell me and I'll do my best to rectify.
