Surely there must be some recourse?

Corey Cadby lost in the last 32 of the Oceanic Masters so World Youth is the last chance to see him at Ally Pally.

Kai-Fan-Leung must be a decent player though did pretty well in qualifying for the UK open be interesting to see how he does at the worlds shaping up to be one the strongest fields in terms of international qualifiers for me.

he played really well against our team at the world cup...we where 8:7 up and Leung played 180,140,145 and D18 for a ten dart leg and of course he played the deciding leg against us and after 100,100,140 he missed bullseye for 161 and the match...oh, we won 9:8

That's not in d8, he must be throwing Taylor's darts

We were watching the three videos on Thursday at superleague, none of us could understand how they thought they could get away with it, it really is astonishing.

I think there's been quite a bit of it anecdotally. I noticed in the other recent Asian qualifier the marking was quite poor to say the least - I think partly due to lack of command of English. Paul Lim was having to tell the score to the marker, who was usually the previous loser exactly the score.

Burton has tweeted the 7 possible scenarios which would prevent Kevin Painter qualifying for Ally Pally.

[Ginge]

5b seems to contradict 5a.

[ssjsa]

Well none of them are happening so he has nothing to worry about

Absolutely. Don't think Painter will be having sleepless nights.

[Dannyboy]

Xiao Chen Zong qualifies for Alexandra Palace through the Chinese qualifier.

[ssjsa]

Burton has tweeted that following Taylor's win tonight, he is now the tentative 6th seed for Ally Pally. At the moment a potential Quarter Final opponent for Gary.

Lots can still change by the end of the PC Finals.

[ssjsa]

Burton has posted what Ally Pally looks like following the conclusion of the Last 16 tonight.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Does the pc finals count towards the pro tour oom?

If not I take it Darren Johnson can’t qualify now

Not unless he wins the whole event in Minehead or something ridiculous, I would guess.
