Steve Beaton continues to shine on MODUS Super Series debut, but almost falls off stage during comical encounter with Devon Petersen
MODUS
The MODUS Super Series is hosting a "Legends Week" this week. After two days of play, Steve Beaton is top of the table, but the 60-year-old Englishman did experience a hair-raising moment on or perhaps just off the stage on Tuesday.
The MODUS Super Series is a weekly tournament with 12 players competing Monday through Friday for a spot in the final group, which takes place on Saturday night. The player who finishes first after three sessions qualifies directly for the final night on Saturday night. On final night, players compete in a small group stage, followed by semifinals and a final to determine the weekly winner. The competition begins again the following week, with twelve new players competing for the title. After twelve weeks of competition, all weekly winners compete in "Champions Week," which is played every thirteen weeks of play to determine who wins the series and one with the top prize of £20,000.

'Legends Week' takes place this week, with players such as Steve Beaton, Vincent van der Voort, Robert Thornton and Richie Burnett in action. Beaton took on Devon Petersen on Tuesday and proved 4-2 too strong for the South African.
But Beaton's winning moment was disrupted by an almost embarrassing one. After a certain throw, Beaton stepped behind Petersen at the end of the stage, but he put his foot wrong. He tripped when he put his foot in the wrong place, causing him to slip off the small stage and quickly jump back on, hoping no one saw. But Beaton had no luck and Petersen even smiled to see if he was in good shape.
After two days of play, by the way, Beaton leads the dance in the Modus Super Series, with 14 points he has two more than the chasing trio Richie Howson, Richie Burnett and Neil Duff.
Results on Day Two
Neil Duff 4-3 Richie Howson

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
