Yeah that wasn't hard to call though Scott Mitchell as much as he is annoying a really good players and the rest that were left were decent but nothing more.

I read somewhere that he had some family issues though after he lost that deciding leg in the previous weekend. Anyone know more?

[Ginge]

Maybe Morag had stopped producing milk.

[Ginge]

Oh we aren't talking about Mitchell now?

Big win for Stephen Bunting, who passes Mervyn King for #17 on the ProTour Order of Merit for the ET11 & ET12 seedings. It means that assuming Gary Anderson does not enter, Bunting will be seeded.

Stephen Bunting edges Mervyn King for #17 on the Euro Tour 11 & 12 seeding, meaning if Gary Anderson doesn't enter he will be seeded.

Thanks.

Krzysztof Ratajski took the EEQ place for ET10 Hildesheim
Karel Sedláček won for ET11 in Maastricht.

[PreciesJJ]

Patrik Kovacs qualified for ET12, International Darts Open

[ssjsa]

KYZYSZTOF RATAJSKI enjoyed a qualification double as he was joined by Karel Sedlacek and Patrik Kovacs in securing places in the year's remaining European Tour events.

The East Europe Qualifier for the year's remaining four European Tour events were held on August 25-26 in Prague.

Polish star Ratajski sealed his place in the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim and the European Darts Trophy in Gottingen with his double success.

Czech Republic World Cup of Darts representative Karel Sedlacek will play in the Dutch Darts Championship in Maastricht.

Hungarian youngster Patrik Kovacs - a World Cup representative in 2016 - will play in the International Darts Open following his qualification for a European Tour debut.

The PDC European Tour returns to action from August 31-September 2 with the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim. Watch through PDCTV-HD and a series of bookmakers' websites worldwide.

Tickets for PDC European Tour events are available via www.pdc-europe.tv.

Darius Labanauskas probably needs to win one match at either ET10 or ET11 to qualify for the European Championship. Krzysztof Ratajski probably needs to win three matches at ET10 and ET13 combined to qualify for the European Championship.

THE German Darts Championship begins on Friday, with Terry Jenkins set to face Ross Smith in the first round.

The £135,000 tournament is the tenth European Tour event of the year and will see 48 players compete at Halle 39 in Hildesheim across the weekend.

Friday's first round will see 32 qualifiers competing, as nine-time televised finalist Jenkins takes on Smith, whose five-year run as the last player to hit a nine-dart finish on the European Tour was ended by Michael van Gerwen in June.

Round one will also see Unicorn Development Tour Order of Merit leader Ted Evetts meet former Players Championship Finals runner-up Mark Webster, who is starring in his first European Tour event of the year.

The seeded players, led by world number one Van Gerwen, Shanghai Darts Master Michael Smith and World Champion Rob Cross, enter at the second round stage on Saturday.

The field will be completed on Thursday evening with the European Qualifier and Host Nation Qualifier in Hildesheim.

From the original field of entries, Peter Wright has withdrawn. He is replaced by Steve Beaton as a seeded player, with a fifth Host Nation Qualifier to be found.

The German Darts Championship will take place from August 31-September 2, with streaming available for all PDCTV-HD Subscribers worldwide as well as through a series of bookmakers' websites.

Does the Adonis get the 2k onto both order of merits if he loses on Saturday or is it only 1k? The reason I ask is that he did qualify and then got bumped into round two after Wright withdrew?

Justin van Tergouw doing his first Euro Tour qualifier of the year. He's on Jeffrey de Zwaan's board, which also has Benito van de Pas, Jerry Hendriks, Jose Justicia, & Tony Alcinas.

This tweet guarantees that Michele Turetta—the only person I didn't mention—qualifies instead.
