[Addicks Fan]

I hope they get good number at least 60+ woman and 220 or more Men any idea if current turnout

130 men +/-
30 ladies +/-
Ive heard

That is very low for for cat A+ evevt

Foggs, there is over a month till the event, don't jump the gun on this one

Any luck?

To be fair, I didn't realise that the closing date would be 2 weeks before the event

Is there still the rule in place whereby you have to win a game before you can score any points?

If not, then the entire field of 35 ladies will be scoring points this weekend, and its a Cat A+ for them as well ffs

Not good news if you haven't bothered entering.

Far to late in the year for players to go to who don't have a chance for Lakeside.

With the rankings all ending at the same time there is no point chasing for 12 months at all. The old days there was different cut off for ranking places in different events.

Wait, so an A+ event isn't attractive enough on prize money alone and it needs the Lakeside/major event carrot to be viable? The mind boggles.

(Besides, what about next year's World Trophy?)

What is the prize money anyway?

12,100 Euros for men (2700 for winner, pays to L64)
5,900 Euros for ladies (1500 for winner, pays to L32)

So it looks like 165 men and 35 women were the final numbers.

For a Cat A+ event for the men, that is utterly pathetic. And dire.

Any darts event which gets 165 or less entries is pathetic and dire.

Ally Pally?

I think for cat A+ not get 256 or 64 woman's is poor turnout when they pay to last 64 in men's and 32 In woman's I think they should have left entries open for another week they may have scrapped 200 men's

maybe next time move to April give better chance of getting bigger numbers

Got to feel sorry for the 3 women who are going to miss out

Ah yes, 13-16 women will win money without winning a single game

I think you may have missed the sarcasm in the point I was making.

Hard to avoid tough draws early on when a tournament field consists of the usual suspects from the high ranks and very few other players...

Not really as no Anastasia, lorraine , Lisa

Any idea wot the cost of getting there is . Flights hotel etc. £2.5k for winner not to bad if a small outlay with not a big field

[Ginge]

Ridiculous distribution of byes in the draw I see, all seeds (positioned at the top and bottom of each drawsheet) get a bye with the exception of Menzies, Reynolds and Veenstra.

Des!!!!
