Conan Whitehead prevails in breathtaking Group A conclusion at MODUS Super Series

Conan Whitehead is through to Finals Night at the MODUS Super Series on Week 3 after winning Group A following a breathtaking conclusion against Lee Cocks and Ronan McDonagh.

After Mike Warburton was knocked out of contention by Alexander Masek, it set up a straight shootout in turn. He eased past Cocks pinning double 16 to claim it after Cocks missed darts to stay in the tie.

He averaged 86 in the process with Cocks a miserable 14.29% on the doubles proving to be his undoing. Cocks and Ronan McDonagh who also stood out on the final day head into Group B. While Warburton, Masek and Jeremy Fagg head into Group C.

The MODUS Super Series is a weekly tournament with 12 players competing from Monday through Friday for a spot in the final group, which takes place on Saturday night. A week of play begins with six players competing in Group A. They play against each other once each on the first three days of play. The winner of this group is directly through to finals night.

The numbers two and three will enter Group B with three new players. They will play each other on Thursday and Friday, after which the top three of this group may also prepare to participate in the final night. The numbers four, five and six from Group A advance to Group C, where they too will be joined by three other players. Two more players from this group will advance to the final night.

The final night is played on Saturday night starting at 10 p.m. where players compete in a small group stage with two groups of three players, followed by semi-finals and a final to determine the weekly winner. After twelve weeks of competition, all the weekly winners compete in "Champions Week," which is played every thirteen weeks of play to determine who wins the series and takes home the top prize of 25,000 pounds.
