Damon Heta has criticized the Premier League Darts format, admitting he hasn't watched a single match this season.
The Australian darter thinks the format has become too repetitive and lacks excitement.
## What's wrong with the format?
Heta believes the concept of Premier League Darts has become too monotonous, with the same players competing against each other every week.
He practices on the dartboard while matches are being played, and thinks the prestigious games are being flooded.
## Proposed solution
Heta advocates for the reintroduction of the relegation system, which was abolished in 2021, to bring more commitment and urgency back into the league.
He also proposes a second division, or "B League", where players can compete to earn a spot in the Premier League.
The prize money of £10,000 a night is not enough motivation for some players, according to Heta.
## Impact on the sport
Heta's comments have sparked debate about the Premier League Darts format and its impact on the sport.
The 2022 World Cup of Darts winner thinks the current format is not doing justice to the sport, and that changes are needed to increase competition and excitement.
Damon Heta has done it for 17 weeks and won, and now he wants to see a more competitive and exciting format.
He thinks the Luke Littler vs Luke Humphries matchup, which will be played over 20 times a year, is an example of the monotony of the current format.
## What's next?
The Premier League Darts format is set to continue in 2025, with the world's top players competing weekly.
But Heta's comments have raised questions about the future of the format and whether changes will be made to address the issues he has raised.
Damon Heta's proposal for a second division could be a way to increase competition and excitement in the sport.
