Hardly surprising when The best dart players in England are not in the team.
Whether you believe that or not the fact is the 4 English players all had tough draws with three losing to top players in Junghans, Kantele and Montgomery. Durrant losing to Sawyer is clearly a shock but he would have had Labanauskas next round (who is in the semis now) thus would have been another tough draw...
This is supposedly a "World Cup" is it not? The players you mentioned are hardly major players on the world stage.
What's that got to do with anything? Some of the PDC World Cup players don't even get on tv any other time of year!!!
Greece have just withdrawn as it turns out John Michael was ineligible. Took a German protest & the guy reaching the semi finals before the officials released he was in breach of the rules

Was just pointing out that it was not a shock that the English lads where all knocked out of the World Cup. Someone tried to say they where beaten by world class players which is complete rubbish. The fact still remains, The best dart players in England are not participating this week. It's a non-event.

What rule is he in breach of? And what happens to the players he knocked out?

But he's not played in it yet, so what rule has he breached. Larry Butler lost in the final of the PDC qualifier in America but he's ok. There must be a rule he is supposedly in breach of?

What planet are you on, you know nothing about real darts, just because they're not constantly on telly in front of bright lights and burlesque girls doesn't mean they are not excellent players who can hold their own against most. At least they are playing a proper World cup and not some pretentious pairs competition.

In order to play in the worlds you must become a member of the PDPA, one can only assume he signed the form shortly after qualifying.

Player must have played 65% of WDF affiliated comps in the preceding 12 months. The majority of his comps in the past 12 months have been in PDC qualifiers. Well done Ross.

Well either way that's fair enough, shame the Greeks and the organisers messed up so badly.

6. In the course of the twelve months prior to the scheduled date of a WDF World Cup or Area
Cup a WDF Playing Member must have played at least 65% of their International Singles
Events in tournaments which are recognised in the WDF World Ranking Systems as well as
International singles events promoted/organized between Member Darts Bodies and also
recognised by the World Darts Federation.
IE: Events such as, but not limited to, the 6 Nations Cup, Baltic Cup, Celtic Cup, Nordic Cup,
Mediterranean Cup, and the Spring Cup.
NOTE: This rule shall not apply to Youth players.
CLARIFICATION:
An international Event is an event which is open to WDF Playing Members from more than
one country. An international event may be promoted or organised by a WDF Member Darts
Body or an organisation which is not affiliated to the WDF.
Soft Tip darts events are not included, as they are considered to be a game, not a
recognised sport.
It is not a requirement that a player must play in International events in order to be eligible
to play in a WDF World Cup or WDF Area Cup.
Players who do participate in international events must meet the following requirement to
be eligible to play in a WDF Cup.
During the twelve months prior to the scheduled date of a WDF Cup the WDF requires that a
player must have played in at least twice as many international single events which are
sanctioned by the WDF (e.g. events recognised in the WDF Ranking System and
International singles events between Member Darts Bodies which are recognised by the
World Darts Federation [i.e. events such as, but not limited to, the 6 Nations Cup, Baltic
Cup, Celtic Cup, Mediterranean Cup, Nordic Cup, the Spring Cup etc.]) when compared with
international events organised, sanctioned or promoted by darts bodies which are not
affiliated to the WDF.

Concannon, Veenstra and Kantele should play off to face Montgomery in the semi-final. Either that or Michael should be re-instead as they accepted his entry. awarding Montgomery a bye is a joke of a decision.

This is what happens when someone is excluded or fails to show, it's probably the fairest way overall but it is never ideal.
