The race for the quarter final places on the Champions League of Darts is hotting up after the first day of the BBC tournament in Cardiff. Only Mensur Suljovic is sure of a place in the next round later today.
The Austrian won against Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, and can therefore no longer be passed by the two other players in the group. Suljovic faces Dave Chisnall on Sunday afternoon. Anderson and Wright compete in a all-Scottish affair for a place in the semi-finals.
In the other group, the situation is a bit more complex. Phil Taylor is not yet certain of a place in the next round of the knockout phase despite two wins, while Adrian Lewis with two defeats has been definitively eliminated.
If Michael van Gerwen wins a big (four-legged) difference from Taylor, "Mighty Mike" is sure to qualify for the last four, knocking out Phil Taylor in the process. However, Van Gerwen is dependent on the outcome of the match between Van Barneveld and Lewis. Van Barneveld is placed for the semi-finals if he puts in a better result (wider victory, smaller defeat) than Van Gerwen.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
