It's when Barry mounts his opponent from behind and gives them a good oooomph. Like a dog, hence 'beast mode'.


But surely a dog is just a civilised and effeminate wolf? Don't you need to be non-domesticated to qualify as a beast?

Thanks. That sounds plausible.

£12m for next years tour. 20% year on year rise. No individual sport has had such a rise. Tennis had a 10% rise this year for instance. Darts had a 15% rise. Revenue hitting £25m a year is a remarkable number. The players have got it all now. Now they need to commit.

No more entry fees, which will save all players a minimum £2,500 a year.

Next year the start of the Challenge Tour, probably with an initial £200,000 up for grabs and tour cards.


Hi mate.

Is there a video or transcript of the presser anywhere?

Around 1h 20m in of today's afternoon session.


Thanks mate. I'll dig it out later. :-)

In fairness, trying to imagine Barry as a beast of any sort just isn't working. I'm not sure who coined the term 'beast mode', he's too nice a fellow.

If that means that the 2008 winner will have a great year in 2018 I'd definitely agree with that.

Will any of this years semi-finalists be there in 2027?


They'll all be Chinese, according to the BBC.

Kind of like how last year Graeme Dott won.
