Not sure but I don't think that list includes the points from the Antwerp Open as Jim Williams has also qualified

[ChrisW]

Yep, Antwerp points still need to be added.

[oche balboa]

Fair enough.

[WCDPA]

Crazy system for the ladies 16+ events this year and only 2 qualify !
Worse still the Dutch only CLD is same weekend as A+ Bilbao event Dutch no 2 and 3 Sharon Prins and Anca Zjilstra going to Spain , so CLD winner won't be Sharon who has won it last 2 years , will make wildcard interesting my money will be on one of the Dutch girls , although Lisa as Wirld champion and Trina who has supported virtually every finder event must be in with a shout .
Should revert back to 8 ladies straight KO imo .

Lisa shouldn't get it, she doesn't do the tour

Lisa should get it because she is the world champion and best Ladies player their is.

Lisa is world champion for sure and is a brilliant player, but has played 16 tour events this season ( from October 1st) and won 3 events .

Yes she isn't having her best year with Lorraine Winstanley seemingly being her bogey player this year. But she has won 3 out of the last 4 worlds which is the only tournemant that really counts for anything significant on the women's side of the game. The fact that the World champ doesn't automatically qualify is stupid enough as it is if they don't pick her as the Wildcard then that is even stupider.

This seasons stats
Deta played 34 events won 17
Aileen De Graaf 30 events won 6
Lorraine 20 events won 3
Anastasia 15 events won 5

It's weird how certain players enjoy venues Lisa beats Deta Lakeside, Deta beats Lisa Bridlington , Lisa beat Lorraine Hal open , lorraine beat Lisa Hal masters , last year the open had auto Finders spot , this year Hal masters .
When Anastasia pregnant Deta and Lisa in the field Ana won London ladies double header , Czech open and looked unbeatable with her bump . Ana also beat Lisa at ladies classic .
Lisa likes Sweden so a good bet this weekend , deta and Ana meet last 16 ( if they get through Friday )
To be fair top 8 or so are pretty even .

As she hasn't qualified, she should get no favours for being there. Picking her as a wildcard would hardly encourage her or any world champion to qualify the hard way would it? Wild cards are wrong in any event

Personally I have a hunch it will be Sharon or Anca , but in fairness Anastasia was as surprised as anyone getting thecpick last year .
