It began a myriad of high averages from floor tournaments with Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall next up from the initial Players Championship events at the start of the year.
Wright hit 120.24 during Players Championship 5 with 117.45 from Aspinall during Players Championship 2.
While Chisnall features again with 117.42 during the Grand Slam of Darts Qualifier. Jim Williams is next up during Challenge Tour Event Five with 117.08.
In fact, every high average comes from floor tournaments barring Dimitri Van den Bergh’s record breaking 114 during the Grand Slam of Darts.
