If disagreements occur with how the rack is formed at this level, then why aren't magic racks bought in as the standard? They always stay real tight consistently and it is so efficient and quick. Plus they don't damage the slate by tapping dents into them.
Food for thought - the worlds greatest dart players travel to Las vegas to play Best of 11 legs in tournaments where a £6k first prize is given! That is ridiculous, and I can't see what enjoyment you would get in wanting to play single elim. Isn't it nice to get a second bite of the cherry?
Tapping the table does not damage the slate, it only leaves dents in the cloth. If the tables were to get reclothed they would be like they were in the first place. Plus, although the magic rack is a terrific idea there is still speculation as to whether it holds up in tournament play.
As for double elimination allowing a lesser player to win the event? how do you come to this conclusion? Surely it gives the better players more chance because they can have one slip up, please explain.
I have been dithering on going to eurotour and i most certainly wouldn't pay out all that money to potentially have one match....the game isn't just about the big guns, yes they win every tournament but without the guys (and girls) who enter knowing that they really dont have much of a chance to win, there would be no eurotour. Can't cater for the best players all the time. i think double illim suites both the stronger and weaker players tbh. the stronger playres because they see kt as less likely they will be beat twice , and the weaker because they get more experience playing whicj is prob there motivation. however i am sure there has been double illim events where a certain player could make the case for being the strongest player but not of won. for example there are variations on the double illim , such as double illim up to quarters ,semi or even final and then sudden k.o. if its a proper double illim then the winner of the winning side should have to be beat twice in the final.

for example on this euro tour , the finalists were both beaten already in the tournie yet souquet and hohmann(prob the 2 best players in event imo) for example lost only once. [ This message was edited by: macca_big_dish on 2010-04-19 20:39 ]

Exactly they've flown out and been beaten single elimination! So how is that fair? Thats the rule that needs sorting asap.

so you think it needs to be single illim throughout , but what is wrong with double illim throughout. both are fair imo but double illim up to a certain stage and then sudden death can be unfair imo
