Scott Waites (16) v Martin Adams

^Martin Adams is the oldest player in the championship at 63.
whoever did the draw and paired them together needs to be shot, that would have been the Final for me, but one of the two best players in the tournament going home early on day 1!!

Just looking back to see if we discussed the Lakeside move, I see last year I foretold a Robson-Montgomery final, and if I read the draw right, that's still a chance

Looks like Phil Taylor is thinking about returning.

I can't see anything on the schedule for Quest, have they pulled out of showing it?

" QUEST who share the rights with Eurosport will also gain coverage of the event after the first weekend with selective sessions and highlights being shown on the channel. "

It is due to number of events you play, Martin Adams has played much fewer tournaments so his ranking is such that you can get these type of draws in the early rounds

Not a fan of BDO darts these days but Mitchell Vs Bennett looks tasty to me seeing as a lot of people think he is the future of darts be interesting to see how he gets on.

And anyway i like the Lakeside better then this new arena this new arena just makes the BDO look more poorer then it already is and plus the Lakeside is a more historic arena with lots of memories and history.
