How far do they need to go down the list til the Scropian gets a call up?

Where are Cazoo and Cinch suddenly getting the money from for all this sports sponsorship?

Qschool has just become about as over complicated as it can get and it still fails to get the better overall players a card Yep agree with you I still don’t understand why more tour cards aren’t offered to the Challenge Tour? I would also expect the winner of the womens tour to be offered a card ne...

An absoulute classic in the euro Q school Marc Inhelder smashing in a 36.12 average which is easily enougth to win including a 73 dart hold of throw and 43 minutes of sporting excellence. Good grief. I genuinely think if you could give any decent pro a blind fold and tell him to throw with it on, h...

1st round W 5-0 (82av)

3rd round W 5-3 (96av)

He is doing well so far.

Think he’s probably qualified for the final stage on that basis already. Playing well undoubtedly.

Chuck Norris KO with a 66 average

How about a Q School game? Rather than picking 20 players to get the most points, how about picking 20 players and the lowest points wins?

Fair play to Ross. Hope he does well.

Tour card = In.
No Tour card = The "challengers" or whatever they were called are back.

I think you are right, but why they just can’t use the top 10 I’ve no idea. You’ve earned the right to be in that premier league.

What are the other 30 doing?

What is the 10%. 'Darts' I dunno, the bit about the Hearns exploiting darts sounded about right Well, not that I imagine many here care, but to suggest that Hearn has spent the last year 'exploiting boxing' is a very generous, and mostly wrong, assessment. Hearn has had an awful year in boxing. Sev...

You must have missed darts in the 1980s, mate.

Is that why broadcasters switched it off then?

Amazing how JP gets forgotten about - it’s the wall all over again! For what it’s worth, his only Ally Pally victory was a poor tournament overall littered with players not used to the huge stage. But also stopped the run of dominance of Taylor in 2003 Very true, but darts before 2007 was a lot dif...

Got to say I thought it was a great tournament. Lots of drama and some fantastic match ups from the L64 onwards (heck Cross v Barney at that stage is ridiculous!) Darts is only going one direction. Under Eddie Hearn I can see his footprint increasingly going on the sport in the next 12 months - I th...

A word for Emma Paton. Don’t know whether she’s been officially signed off for the gig full time to replace Dave Clark, but she is 100% there for me. She has been excellent all tournament.

This is better.

Good luck to the bloke. Age is just a number.
