Antwerp day 1

Crikey. Catching up with data entry with midweek PC events takes its sweet, sweet time these days. Still, it's all in the master computer now (except for last weekend's CDC events, which can frankly wait) so let's get some projections up for tomorrow. These will go in full - medium - short - composite order.

Wattimena/Weber - 77 - 76 - 79 - 77

Slevin/Schweyen - 79 (full data only)

Woodhouse/Engstrom - 69 - 68 (no short data)

Wenig/Huybrechts - 46 - 50 - 49 - 48

Ratajski/Lennon - 60 - 64 - 58 - 61

Menzies/Kist - 61 - 73 - 68 - 67

Gilding/Suljovic - 62 - 59 - 57 - 59

van Veen/Gawlas - 83 (full data only)

Smith/Vandenbogaerde - 65 - 64 - 50 - 60

Joyce/Pietreczko - 54 - 55 - 49 - 53

Cullen/White - 58 - 64 - 70 - 64

Nijman/Sedlacek - 69 - 67 - 62 - 66

van Duijvenbode/de Graaf - 75 - 82 - 77 - 78

Gurney/Rydz - 46 - 46 - 60 - 51

de Decker/Lukeman - 68 - 70 - 69 - 69

van Barneveld/van den Bergh - (no data)

Couple of things spring out. Nijman being that far ahead of an in form Sedlacek is just a factor of how good Wessel is. Dirk being that far ahead of new tour winner de Graaf might be a concern given both form and how much Jeffrey burned us at the worlds, but it's not a consistency thing - they're pretty much the same on that front, if anything Dirk is slightly more consistent.

I'll have round two predictions late on Friday, then I'm down in London for football all day Saturday. It's non league so I should be able to stay on top of stat compilation, but round three projections may be last minute, if appearing at all.
