and said he was happy with the win1:51greaves had already beaten littler six five in a world youth championship semifinal1:56that meeting came on october thirteenth two thousand and twenty five More than a2:00year later, he reversed the result here while she still produced an average above a2:04hundred.2:04Former world champion John Part praised Littler's scoring and maximums as absolutely2:08phenomenal, but he also thought Greaves started below her best and could play2:12better.2:13Part questioned whether Littler had been fully tested.2:15His caution comes with tougher matches still ahead, and after an autumn in which2:19Littler's results fell short of his extraordinary start to the year, Littler won the2:23first five majors of two thousand and twenty-six.2:26Then he came up short at the World Series of Darts Finals, lost in the World Grand2:30Prix first round, and exited the European Championship in the quarter finals.2:34He said he'd been practicing and was glad that work showed here.2:37Subscribe to this channel as the next two Group A matches decide who advances.2:41Littler plans to skip the players' championship in Minehead.2:44That makes Wolverhampton his last major before the World Championship, which runs2:47from December eleventh to January third.2:49He expects a few exhibitions in between.2:52First, he has to negotiate a shorter, less forgiving Grand Slam group stage.2:56The expanded field contains forty-eight players.2:58The forty eight players are split into sixteen groups of three.3:02Each player gets two matches, with two points for a win and none for defeat.3:06Only the group winner advances to the last sixteen.3:08Previously, players had three group matches, and the top two advanced from each four3:13player group.3:14Now a single defeat leaves much less room to recover.3:16Littler has two points.3:18Greaves has none.3:19Greaves faces Neils Zonneveld on Sunday, November fifteenth.3:22With leg difference, the first tie break.3:24She needs to win five, two or better to retain a qualifying chance.3:27She then needs Zonaveld to beat Littler on Monday.3:30A five, three, or five, four win would still leave Greaves eliminated.3:34Littler has the simpler route: beat Zonaveld, and he wins the group.3:37Monday's session is scheduled to begin at seven in the evening.3:40A three-way points tie goes first to total leg difference, then total legs one, then3:45legs one against throw.3:47Next come tournament average and winning match average, both to two decimal places.3:51Only after those comes a nine, dart points shootout.3:54If shootout scores stay tied, the players continue in three.3:57Art visits until they're separated.3:59PDC rankings determine who gets first choice of throwing order.4:02If Greaves wins five, two and Zonneveld then beats Littler five, two, all three4:07would be level on points, leg difference and legs one.4:10Legs one against Throw would be the next test.4:12Sunday's evening session has two advertised start times: seven and half past seven.4:17Those are session times.4:18Neither gives an exact start for Greaves against Zonneveld, which comes later in the4:22evening's order of play.4:23The tournament runs from November14 th to the22nd, with the Eric Bristow Trophy at4:28stake.4:28Its prize fund has risen from six hundred and fifty thousand pounds last year to one4:32million pounds.4:33The champion receives two hundred thousand pounds.4:35The runner up a hundred thousand.4:37Losing semifinalists get sixty thousand.4:40Quarter finalists thirty five thousand, and last, sixteen players twenty thousand.4:44Second in a group pays twelve thousand five hundred, third five thousand.4:48The matches also lengthen after the groups.4:50But last sixteen play best of nineteen legs, from the quarterfinals through the4:53final.4:54It's best of thirty, one.4:56The group A winner faces the group B winner on November eighteenth.4:59Their quarter final follows on November20 th.5:02The semifinals take place on the afternoon of November22nd, with the final that5:06evening.5:06Littler can secure that knockout place himself by beating Zonneveld.5:10Greaves needs a win by at least three legs.5:12Followed by a Littler defeat and favorable tie breaks.5:15Her hundred plus average has left her with a route through, but no control over5:20Monday's result.নিবন্ধটি
