Women from what I have seen play the best of three sets for championships. That to me is unfair, much too short. ok rant over. what say you?

Totally agree

I agree too, they should have a longer game, dont see any reason why they should not.

I am no expert on this and have no particular view either way, however I took part is a Q&A with Anna a while ago and I am sure she said the reason she went back to the BDO was because she felt exhausted after playing against the men on the PDC tour.

The BDO obviously separates the women's game from the mens and has, like you say, a shorter format but at the moment the women play against the men on the PDC tour, well I say the 'women' but there is only Steffi Luck currently competing as far as I am aware.

So you have 2 options really, play short format under the BDO or play on a level playing field against the men in the PDC,, and I know it is not as black and white as this, but the women have the option.

Plans I read on another forum last year suggested the PDC was planning a women's tour to run alongside the mens and youth tours, which I think is a great idea, but did not state at the time whether it would be full or short format.

I think if the women are happy playing the shorter format then that's fine, if not then they need to make a stink and get the rules changed.
On the other hand...
Do you think the men's format is too long? best of 13 sets you could conceivably play 70 legs of darts and still not have a winner. 1,000+ darts each if your averaging 100. why not just play 1 game of 30,001.

I think I would like to see a comp like that with a higher 01 game, they used to have them in the 40's and 50's regularly 1001, 3001, 5001, 10,001.

Would be something different anyway.

I would love to see more Women darts on the television, and that they get to play longer games, and I think most people would agree with me

I have seen a lot of women games live, and they could be very fun to watch, of course there are some games that aren't any good, but hey, that applies to men games also!

I cant understand why the board want to destroy and humiliate the women side of darts



More darts to the women!! NOW!!!!!


Cheers

I heard that women can't play hockey because their pads won't last three periods.
