So the CT and Development Tour are not PDC initiatives.

Think you are arguing with yourself, as very few would disagree that the BDO system is where most professional darts players get their grounding in the sport.
The point being made was that in the case of Cross and MVG, their success on the PDC Challenge Tour and Youth/Development Tours have been the catalyst for them playing at their current high levels.

I think the idea was that the Development tour made him, this is simply not the case.Murphio wrote:That is exactly the case.

Re: PDC Order of Merit
Who has said that? I have genuinely never, ever seen that claimed. It is pretty common knowledge MVG was a top talent in the BDO. He lost his way and the development tour allowed him to regain his confidence. I haven't seen a single post on here to the contrary.Addicks Fan wrote:I think the idea was that the Development tour made him, this is simply not the case.Murphio wrote:That is exactly the case.

Re: PDC Order of Merit
I didn't want to get into individual posts, as it was the general argument I was highlighting, but SSJA agreed that the Challenge Tour was the making of Cross, as was the Development Tour for MvG. That is just another of many examples of people giving credIit for players talent to a darting org that merely gives them an opportunity to show that talent.Murphio wrote:Who has said that?

Re: PDC Order of Merit
Fantastic debate on this subject, and with the exception of our resident Fusilier drinker, think every other poster is contributing in a genuine manner, and posting their genuine and honest opinions.
Will try and keep up with this thread, however the Glorious Hoops are just about to kick off against Bayern at Paradise, so my priorities are firmly at Celtic Park for the next 2 hours.

Re: PDC Order of Merit
Rob Cross has developed into one excellent dart player, came from practically nowhere. Not many people picked him in their UK open choices the other year,when Barry Lynn also did the business. What happened to him?

Fully expecting Chelsea to win this evening aswell.
