Michele Turetta currently on top in Italian Super Premier League

After the success of the Italian Darts Championship, which had been won by Danilo Vigato, Jacopo Ghirardon decided to organise a Super Premier League with 16 of the top players from Italy, including Giordano Reale, who is the commentator of DAZN Italy when darts is on Italian television. All matches are best of 12 legs, so a draw is possible and all players play each other once before the top four will qualify for the play-offs. Several of the matches are being livestreamed on the Facebookpage Diddle for the Middle.

All players play a number of matches a week, but are free to arrange a day and time for the matches. That explains that in the results below some players appear sometimes a couple of times in a few matches and thereafter not for a while.

Michele Turetta is topping the league with 13 points out of a maximum of 14 after two weeks with a total of seven matches being played. Turetta claimed an important 7-4 victory against Daniele Petri, who is sharing the second spot together with Nicola Giovannini on a total of 11 points. Alessio Passadore is until now the only player who was able to get a point against Michele Turetta. At the moment Samuele Cassotto, Francesco Daros and Italian Darts Champion Danilo Vigato are sharing the fourth place with a total of 10 points.

After fifteen matches the top four will compete in the semi finals, which will be the first match in real life after the Italian lockdown and will take place in early July. Max Dalla Rosa en Manuel Scrudato have won eight points and are among the nearest followers of the current top four.

At the moment Nicola Giovannini is the biggest 180-hitter. He threw 11 180’s so far. Michele Turetta had thrown 9 maximums. Michele Turetta has claimed the highest check-out already after hitting the Big Fish.
