to be fair BG, the shorter format is harder to win.
as I said, I played county and played a lot of top pros from the day, beating many along the way over 3 legs. I doubt if I could've beaten them over the longer format to be honest.
You've only got to get 2 bounce outs in 2 legs for example and...
to put the BDO into perspective, I played Les Wallace, the 1997 BDO world champ, 4 times that year and won 4 times. the last was 5-0 in a competition 5 weeks before he won the title.
ok, i was playing county at the time, but to be fair..none of the players around at that time would've pulled up...
