Good move by the PDC - Makes it a proper worldwide championship - The PDC just keep making the right moves -

Well Pauls comments on the Fanatics suggests Deta wont be a part of it.

If there are no sanctions to the women, and its on a relatively blank weekend, there is absolutely no reason to swerve it. She is the world number what, two?

No restrictions in the contract that was signed for the winner and runner up to return to the 2019 Wc.

Ana will 100% be going to the rest of the world qualifier.

I don’t think any of the other ladies will pass this chance up, that’s includes Deta. I’m sure she played the last time along with Tricia Wright and a few others.

Well Done Barry.

As for the women, I think its going to depend if the BDO threaten sanctions to anyone who plays in it. Ball is in their court.

Well Pauls comments on the Fanatics suggests Deta wont be a part of it.

PDC wont be stupid they will have touted some of the ladies, guarantee Lisa and Rachel Brooks at the very least will be taking part, outside of the UK its anyones guess.

Or this could be the PDC doing the bare minimum for Sport England recognition. Offering a path for Ladies, Youths and Amateurs now means they can push for being the official governing body.

Correct and I stood up in the BDO AGM last year and said the same

[Ginge]

If I were the PDC I would be chatting to the EDO, get them to do the UK qualifier at Selsey in September (?)

Do you think the BDO are going to punish anyone going to this or at this point do you even care?

[nikkiboy]

Serious question, could the BDO sanction the ladies for taking part in the qualifier?

[Zapp Brannigan]

Last time I checked all the BDO wordings were about picking and being "available to qualify" for the BDO world championship. The PDC contract states you cant play in another world championships.

This is going to cause a stink.

[Ginge]

Eligibility only applies between the two respective mens tours, so I would say absolutely not.

[oche balboa]

Maybe Dean Winstanley was hinting on this on Fanatics yesterday?

Maybe people in the board or players knew already, like I said I cant see the PDC announcing this without gauging opinion from Ladies.

And maybe BDO wants to punish ladies who wants to try the qualifier.

Again you dont know that would happen.... it would be foolish if they did

How come no disabled qualifier?

[The Jolly Man]

CDC must now be an official tour of the PDC. They've provided the USA team for the World Cup and now they provide an American and Canadian to the PDC Worlds.

7 Asian players as well.

Good luck to Ana and hope she makes it through. Can I ask why not the UK qualifier?
