Mitchell on Darts from Home tournaments coming to prominence: "I think it could go anywhere. I really do"

Scott Mitchell is competing this week in A Night At The Darts, a tournament ran from home by MODUS Darts with these tournaments seeing darts continue despite the Coronavirus outbreak and the former Lakeside World Champion is a big fan of the concept.

Mitchell who claimed a Group win on Friday night believes that the sky is really the limit for the tournaments and that a situation like Coronavirus could open peoples eyes to the possibilities that Darts from Home holds.

“I just think the concept has so many levels it can take it to and so many match-ups it can produce," said Mitchell to the Bournemouth Echo.

“I think it could go anywhere, I really do.

“I think it could go a long way. We have probably had our eyes closed to it for the past five or six years.

“Now this has opened our eyes to another concept, is this going to change darts forever? Who knows?

“Whether this is going to last for the months we are in lockdown or whether it is going to go on after that – I’d imagine it could.

“I’d imagine it’s something that has opened up everybody’s eyes and there are going to be more ideas towards this.

“It’s one of those where the quality is only going to get better as we get new ideas and take it further.”
