round 1 walkover "winners" dont pick up any extra points

a bit of an inconsistency from WS compared to what normally happens

be far better filling these walkover slots :limp: up with amateurs from the PTC so all the round 1 matches take place

I think it depends when the players pull out. If they pull out after the draw has been made then their opponent will be given a walkover and it is treated as a win. If they pull out before the draw has even been made then the seedings just get shuffled accordingly so no player gets credited with a win. Bahrain in 2008 might be the best example of this happening before when Higgins, Selby & Ding were all previously committed to a Premier League fixture and couldn't take part - everyone else just shuffled up a few places in the seedings.

John Higgins going for his 3rd Welsh Open in a row and unless im mistaken the Last Man to Win the same Tournament 3 times in a row was Stephen Hendry when he beat John in the 1996 UK Final.

if they gave the PL Champion a million pound key to Buckingham pallace and a Night out with David Beckham it would still be bucking bullocks and as prestigious as rubbish.

Money is the pursuit of the soulless.

The Premier League is for the A.D.D. society, that appears to have a grip on Britain at present.

so i see

not surprised

the PL darts is the ultimate money spinner and the prize money dished out must be a tiny fraction of the income generated.

as for the snooker PL, i feel it should be rebranded to attract thousands of boozy fans instead of the kinda half serious bores who currently attend it.
