Onto the Netherlands

Ross Smith looked fantastic and Ratajski got the results to back up the darts he's been doing in the Pro Tours since we last spoke, unfortunately the latter isn't here to build on it, but we've got a pretty good set of 48 players, as I'm away down in London for the playoff final this weekend, I'm not going to be able to update any projections on the fly, so will call each round 1/2 permutation, see who's most likely to come through, then run a bracket from there. Numbers will go in seed v PT, seed v qualifier, PT v qualifier order.

Humphries/Menzies/Plaisier - 71-79-61
Smith/Joyce/de Zwaan - 56-71-66 (de Zwaan only with long data)
Price/van Veen/Krcmar - 54-75-71 (Krcmar only with long data)
Chisnall/Edhouse/Huybrechts - 60-61-52
Clayton/Woodhouse/Hopp - 63-83-73
Smith/van Barneveld/Hendriks - 70 (no data on Hendriks)
Heta/Gilding/Sparidaans - 56-81-76
Noppert/Zonneveld/Vandenbogaerde - 61-76-67
van Gerwen/de Decker/Mansell - 61-75-66
Searle/Cullen/Meikle - 64-76-65
Wade/van Duijvenbode/Harju - 29-63-80
Wright/Nijman/van Peer - 47-75-78
Bunting/Wattimena/Springer - 54-53-49
Schindler/Lukeman/Wenig - 62-62-51
Dobey/Gurney/Kuivenhoven - 71-71-50
Rock/Pietreczko/Sedlacek - 75-77-52

Which gives a knockout stage of (with just the two seeds favoured to fall, oddly in the same part of the bracket):

Humphries 64-36 Smith
Price 70-30 Chisnall
Clayton 48-52 Smith
Heta 48-52 Noppert
van Gerwen 55-45 Searle
van Duijvenbode 59-41 Nijman
Bunting 58-42 Schindler
Dobey 46-54 Rock

Humphries 48-52 Price
Smith 53-47 Noppert
van Gerwen 49-51 van Duijvenbode
Bunting 42-58 Rock

Price 58-42 Smith
van Duijvenbode 50-50 Rock

Price 51-49 either of those two. That semi is too close to call.

Won't be back until Tuesday. May tweet some stuff if I see anything interesting.
