2 or 3 at most wont play the first weekend. After that it might drop quite far down. I'd imagine most Premier League and European based players will give it a bash for the first weekend at least, get off the mark, but what about the players who come from further afield? Will they even have their vi...

Kleermaker playing the pairs. Not sure what the PDC's position on people playing in the singles, but it's good to see them being flexible and letting them do pairs at least, after all, pairs is just a bit of fun at the end of the day

I'm with Oche on this one, West Brom are definitely better than some of the shite towards the bottom of the Prem

Was just looking at that for last year. There was three withdrawls for PC1 & 2. Suljovic, Anderson and Hopp. They were replaced by Gilding, Hamilton and Portela 10 actually Edhouse, Burton, Carroll, Koltsov, Todd, Prins, Rafferty, Gilding, Hamilton and Portela got in from the Challenge Tour. Ye...

Depends on how the WDF rank their "World Championship type of tournament". As a semi finalist at the O2 Mitchell is obviously qualified so the need for BDO ranking points is nil. I'm sure that he could do both as the Challenge Tour is only five weekends of the year. Seeing as the WDF with...

Perhaps a sign of the "positive" discussions between the PDC and WDF that have been going on?

Apparently it's because it takes place before the tour card holders' meeti g takes place:

Don't agree with the not being allowed to enter Rileys if you were in Qschool. Supposed to be an Open so players should be allowed to use any route. Also will be a nightmare to administrate. In fairness, don't think that many legitimate darts fans would disagree with you. The Rileys Qualifiers are ...

Lowe: underrated player, did very well in 2018 without even giving the tour his full attention. Came through Q-School very impressively too, I fancy he'll keep his tour card Blades: straggler Leung: Like Lowe, he has some decent pedigree, and did very well at Q-School, though it remains to be seen i...

My ideas: 2 tour cards to the WDF World Championship finalists (I'm assuming there'll be some entente between the PDC and the WDF, this would be a good way to formalise it) 4 tour cards to the DT and CT each, if you can prove yourself at a high level over 20 events, you have a good chance on the to...

Why is anyone responding to a wind up. My Q School thougt PDC is equal to everyone. Don't believe Q School is a lottery. If over 4 days you don't win a card then you aint good enough. Nobody in any code not associated with PDC should be offered a card. I would ban players from Q School the followin...

Yep, anyone outside the top 10 on the CT who didn't win a card has to go to the amateur qualifiers

Probably a bit long in the tooth to make a real splash in the PDC. Think he'll fare better on the floor than Waites, so I don't think he'll have too much trouble getting to the Worlds, though again, I don't see him really making a push for the upper echelons

Gonna go down the middle and say he'll be around the 50 mark, seems realistic enough

I've voted top 64, even though he's a much more talented player than that. But even this week, we only saw his best stuff on Sunday. I don't think he's the type who would graft for years trying to make the top 16 so he can earn a nice living. If it doesn't happen for him quickly, I think he'll prob...

Be interesting how many of the ladies attend Challege Tour. Not a cheap weekend for them trying to play if they dont have sponsors and some also clash with WDF/BDO events which they will still need to play. Sherrock probably, she can afford to do it, and might do better on the CT rather than Q-Scho...

Steve Brown is odds on for a card, As too Andy Hamilton Kleermaker is odds on too. Steve brown isn’t playing at the weekend..... Really ??? Surely he has to rethink his plans now if he really wants a tour card again Link? Saw him tweet 'take the points and run', but I took that to mean just take th...

I guess this could open the door for Olympic status, which would be a boost for the sport even if it's something I'm sure none of us darts nerds are too fussed about
