Serious question will beau Greeves be allowed to enter the quafiers she certainly good enough

Serious question will beau Greeves be allowed to enter the quafiers she certainly good enough

Why wouldn't she? Hearn also runs World Snooker who have recently made allowances with sponsors for a 15 year old to play in ranking events, so the same would likely apply with the darts.

There won't be pathetic excuses like the BDO issued the other week about the WDT...

I would be surprised if she was allowed.

Wasn't Greaves told by the Williams that she couldn't play because of sponsosors restrictions? The sponsor was Winmau FFS.
Once again, the Williams walk quietly away and fuck all is said.

How did you play?

Slightly better than I normally play. Averaged 43.57, where my norm is between 40 to 42.

Legs were 29,38,32,29,41,37, 26,23,36,54,40,29,25,48,21,40,34 and 39.

Had a dart at tops for a 14 darter in the 23 dart leg, but as you can see I am pretty inconsistent.

Finish every leg of 501 hence why I have 54 and 48 dart legs.

Pretty shit by the standards of most on the forum, but only play in my darts room for a bit of fun.

It’s all about the enjoyment we get from playing - well done mate

[Lee Taylor]

I'm going the other way ! not sure I practiced for more than 30 minutes at home in the last year but still playing league darts and turned up for 2 games of Superleague (we play monthly) when they were short (66 and 75 ish I think, lost one, won one) but will be getting back into this Autumn as fed up with losing to players I shouldn't in the pub!! Plus our Superlague team has had a load of leavers so i will have to play every month.
I find its all about the practice, can't be underestimated. If you pitch up one or twice a week to play one game you will never get any consistency.

Don’t I know this.

Won far more than I lost last season, but don’t think I ever went more than two weeks without missing a week!

Hectic work and family life!

Hearne has done an interview for sky sports news

Didn’t catch it all but he went down the route of saying the pdc is an equal playing field for everyone no matter your sex, ethnicity or religion and then said we dont discriminate in the pdc

Chill fella.... I have no real issue with you, I just take the piss nothing more then that.

Hearnes full comments on Sky Sports News

"Theres no reason why a Women couldnt be as good as a man thowing darts in our view and therefore they should be given the same opportunity with the same prize money as men obviously as they are in the same tournament. We are not saying men are better than women or vice versa we are just saying it should be a level playing field"

"It doesnt matter if your Male/Female, Fat/Thin, Black/White, Muslim/Christian the PDC is an open doors company"

What's wrong with that as a few afternoon games ?
Might get a few upsets along the way

That's the funny thing. The BDO have a special player in their system, who could get them easy publicity, but stick in rules to stop her competing.

Thats fine by me - It beats watching the same 8 players all the time - The beauty of Lakeside is that you get to see players who arent on TV every week - The PDC Worlds will now offer something similar - I commend them for it -

I don’t really get your point here two former world champs in that lot along with a former finalist. Someone that has made a major final a player that was top 10 in the world. Plus a few other who have made TV Semis or quarters boat wrong with any or the players you have mentioned making the worlds at all.

Exactly , two former bdo world champions!

I'm looking forward to seeing those players listed again, he's way off kilter on this one. he knows it as well. If you don't want to watch them then turn over.

Dannyboy highest ranked uk player is now lorraine Winstanley ( tables not updated yet ) then Deta , Anastasia and Lisa , and with a view of last 2 weeks Fallon with form she’s in . Be interesting where rest of world qualifier is played , probably to get maximum impact hold it when Winmau world masters is on as most overseas players would be here one drawback with that would be no Chinese players here.

I don't call people a cunt, thanks for the advice.

[DavidB]

Haha for once

Think it was someone asking why as Russian ain’t in the UK qualifiers but in the rest of the World.

Hard to work out for some.

If that’s aimed at me then I’m sorry it was a silly question given Ana lives in the UK and I don’t know the eligibility rules!

Eligibility is all done on being a passport holder of the country rather than just residency

Ok so some players could choose either UK or RoW hence why I asked the question and didn’t expect a ‘funny’ reply from BC!
