SeeBass Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 Not sure if any of you have found the Modus Super Series Darts. For those of you who don't know this concept spawned out of Covid-19 Lockdown. Modus since late 2020 have been giving ex-professional, semi-retired, amateur, youth, non tour card holder players, an opportunity to earn a decent living away from 'Top 128'. Started off online during that mad global health emergency as giving folk something to do then it evolved further when a custom built studio was made in Southampton and last year or so it has become even bigger after moving to a converted church in Portsmouth with a proper stage and everything. Six players play each other over three mornings Monday to Wednesday. Winner after fifteen games goes into weekly Finals night. Thursday and Friday afternoon three new players join 4th, 5th, 6th placed players from Monday to Wednesday group to play ten matches with first and second going into weekly Finals night. Another three players on top of the three new guys join 2nd and 3rd placed players from Monday to Wednesday group and play eight games each on Thursday and Friday evening with first, second, third, joining the three other qualifiers to make two round robin groups in weekly Finals night on Saturday. They'll be a semi-final and final after round robin stage to decide who wins weekly title and goes into Champions Week. All games are best of seven throughout whole week. Weekly winner takes away £5,000 and has the chance to win another £20,000 in Champions Week where they'll meet the other eleven weekly winners after they too have navigated the above format. Champions Week is same process as weekly qualification. Really has changed so many lives in darting world. Adam Warner qualified for main stage through ADC route. He was only playing for the University he attends against other Universities but won a weekly title and it has paid for him to go to PDC Q-School where he has earned a two year pro card. He is holding his own from what I can see on internet. Believe all accommodation cost is covered for the players so only expense those taking part have is their food and drink. Below is a Thursday and Friday evening Group photo with left to right: Mike Warburton, Mike Gillet, Darryl Pilgrim, Jon Worsley, Scott Taylor. I thought they looked like Ocean Colour Scene reformed! However what would you call them if they were a band? Quote
