Unified World Darts Ranking Feb 2010
Posted on March 7th, 2010
After the furore of the festive period and the two World Championships has died down, February is a more sedate time of year as we all catch our breath. Not if you play the circuit though! The tour continues apace and the UWDR combines the action on both sides of the divide to give you a joined up view of the current darting hierarchy.
PDC players jetted off to Gibraltar in early February for two Players Championship events with Colin Lloyd and Denis Ovens bringing home the bacon. Lloyd’s win pushed him up a couple of places to 18th and Ovens jumped 5 places to number 43 on the back of his first title for some time.
This was followed later in the month by events in Swindon and Derby. Mervyn King bagged a Swindon double, winning the Players Championship event and the UK Open Qualifier, and in the process consolidating his lofty UWDR position of 6th. King has truly cemented his status as one of top PDC pros and has fully realised the undoubted potential that he showed when playing under the BDO banner. Future world champion perhaps?

Unified World Darts Ranking Jan 2010
Posted on February 4th, 2010
January is a huge month in the darting calendar with the conclusion of the two World Championships. This means lots of UWDR points are up for grabs. So where better to launch the first ever Unified World Darts Ranking?

It was no surprise that Phil Taylor nailed his 15th World Title at The Alexandra Palace and put himself a country mile ahead of the chasing pack in the UWDR. Taylor sits on 44,664 points and is nearly 30,000 points ahead of the man in second, BDO number one Tony O’Shea. The man Taylor overcame in the final, sits nicely in 14th position in the UWDR. With a sponsor in place, Simon Whitlock will be playing the PDC tour full time so we can expect more of the same from The Wizard in 2010.
