That's Barry Hearn's vision - to turn this gentlemen's game into Ally-Pally style darts, full of drunk morons shouting out, putting the players off. Unfotunately, audience "participation" is becoming more and more a part of certain sports that perhaps wouldn't otherwise draw a crowd. People just don't have the patience to sit quietly and watch something these days, unless it's a crap movie/TV show on S**tFlix

Shootout crowds are awful. The Mosconi Cup shows this kind of format can work, but that has a genuine atmosphere. Shootout seems to be filled with people who have fuck all to do on a weekday afternoon trying to one-up each other and play class clown (or cackling witch judging by that one woman). Increasingly embarrassing year on year.
