Monday marked the start of Double Trouble Week, a special week in the MODUS Super Series. In this week, players must not only end legs with a double, but also start them with one.
Things are pretty even in the group, as after the first day of play the difference between top of the group and bottom is only two points. Leonard Gates scored six points, as did Andreas Harrysson and Robert Thornton. However, Gates' leg balance is better than that of the other two for now.
Steve Beaton is on four points after five matches, as are Simon Whitlock and Neil Duff. Because the differences are small, however, there is still everything to play for. On Tuesday and Wednesday, all darters will play each other again to determine who will be pool winner in Group A.
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 pool 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 will advance to Group C, where they too will be joined by three other players. Two more players from this pool 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.
