Gilding fined for failure to mark? Has the marker scheme collapsed altogether?

Too many clipboards, not enough Indians?

I noticed Phil Taylor is on that spreadsheet.

But..but but...I thought they stopped making these details public to protect him?

So why did they?

So Ando got a 3k fine for his mis-reported comment by the Beeb.

Mis-reported?

Mis-reported?

He made a silly remark, 3k just about shows how seriously the pdc took it but it never deserved any sort of ban.

Would loved to have seen the altercation between Darren Webster and Pat Butcher's fatter sister.

And what was the q-school misbehaviour about?

Modra so was for all 4 days and only gets a formal warning?

Intrigued by how all those players broke papa contract by playing in an event that was televised as I don't think all are/were tour card holders.

It was The Hague Championship.

Dekker made the last 16 but didn't cop a fine as he didn't have a Tour Card at the time. Same for Jason Marriott who made the QFs.

Terry Temple played in the pairs but seems to have dodged a bullet, perhaps because his match may not have been televised?

Hadn't realised someone like Matt Padgett was a tour card holder last year though I might be wrong.

At then of the day it was a successful event. Why couldn't the PDC give them all the ok to play it this year but talk to organisers about potentially ranking it on the Euro OOM. Wonder how that would go down. PDC need a big European open IMO

They took it seriously enough to make multiple statements/apologies, anyway Chris said mis-reported, it wasn't mis-reported at all.

for the PDC to have given the OK, the players would have had to ask the PDC in the first place. Did any of them bother doing so? I suggest none of them did, otherwise they would have got more than just a warning for going against their decision.

I think it's fair the PDC protect its product after all they've done to build it.up to where it is at present....this wasn't a tin pot tournament...10k euros to the winner, TV coverage...of course the PDC players should seek approval...if the PDC sit back and just let these events happen and the players play without approval then they are leaving themselves open to.a rival tour being set up and the.possibility of losing players as well...
Of course if the organisers and players had sought approval in the first place then.it might have been given and the fact the players have just been warned is common sense in.this instance and has put down the marker for where the PDC stand in terms of protecting its brand

Just need to be consistent, if they are going to give players a pass then all should get one.

I agree with consistency but how many events have TV coverage and money.like this one. I can't think of any off the top of.my head...the PDC certainly.aren't going to stop.players playing exhibition type knockouts with BDO players where there is no TV.....anyway was this Dutch event on.a.proper TV channel.or was it streamed ?...not sure where the PDC stand on a streamed event..

Nah, Taylor isn't nr. 1 in the PDC right now, but where is the headbutt to Barney, the lashing out to MvG and the älways walking in the exclusion zone, where are the reprimands for that?

Not blown out of the water.

I was referring to the PDC not allowing their players to play BICC because of streaming.

Maybe they would make a decision based on how many people are going to see it, you would have thought this Dutch thing would get more eyeballs than a county match being streamed.

Anyway, we dont know if any of the players actually asked for permission to play in the Dutch event, I assume any that did and were told no would have been punished much more severely had they ignored the request.

Obviously the first point is irrelevant as they refused permission, what they should have said was if you do it you'll get a slap on the wrist.

How do we know this? Did any of them ask before attending it? The reason for the DRA "warning" could have been because none of them bothered to ask in the first place....
