Anyone keep tabs on this? The 15 week tournament kicked off last night at the MEN arena and there were 4 great games. It's being replayed on Sky Sports 2 starting at the moment. The 8 players involved are Adrian Lewis, Phil Taylor, Gary Anderson, Simon Whitlock, Raymond Van Barnaveldt, Andy Hamilton, James Wade and Kevin Painter. Next week it goes to Aberdeen. I know the results but still fancy watching.

I usually watch Darts but have not seen much of this tournament, is Justin Pipe playing in the world championships?

The league just started last week for 2012. The World championships do not commence until mid December and early January.

I did mean the league. Are you following it?

I watched it last week and have got it on series link thingy on my Sky HD box.....

Gary Anderson is my obvious favourite. I also think that on his game he is almost unbeatable. He's got a tendancy to miss doubles and struggle against lesser oposition. The English crowds love to hate him but the Gary boy tends to lap it up.

I've recently put up a cracking dartboard at work and bought me and 3 colleagues a set of darts each......relieves a bit of stress and clears the mind...

It makes you realise just how good them guys really are and to do it in front of a live audience and watching millions...brilliant.

[Goanjock]

Great 128 finish and 4-0 up....the atmosphere is still brilliant

[danstriker]

4-2 now. Is it going to Glasgow this year? last time I saw it in Glasgow the atmosphere was worse than an Old Firm match!

It was shocking and Anderson was so embarrassed that he didn't even care about the darts........great to see the crowd tonight though ......Anderson not playing great though although unlucky with the 164

Anderson only hitting one 180 so far. Needs to step up. 5-2 up though.

Just as well Hamilton can hardly hit a double.

[danstriker]

Yeh this boy Hamilton seems a bit out of his depth. 6-2 Anderson now.

[Goanjock]

another break and 6-2

He had a good world champs though so can play a bit.

[Goanjock]

That will do nicely 8-2

[danstriker]

good victory in the end

[Goanjock]

great 9 darter by Taylor tonight as well

[black dog]

Watched about 1/2 the replay this afternoon....Great matches...good to see Anderson get a win but fantastic to see a nine darter. But who were these tossers displaying 'We love HMRC' and 'Jelly & Ice Cream' cards to pitifully attract attention?....
