Well well, women in the WC.
Will add a bit of interest. Nothing more.
Their opponents will be bricking it.

32 degrees here this morning.
Thought I would catch up with forum gossip with my bowl of Apple Jacks by the pool.

Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
Yes some could choose and I saw it was a topic of conversation on the CDC Facebook pages. It didn't seem it had been made clear as to what/who was included where. Some players also have dual nationality so do they have to declare they are American or Canadian and at what point?DavidB wrote:The Jolly Man wrote:Eligibility is all done on being a passport holder of the country rather than just residencyDavidB wrote:Bag Carrier wrote:oche balboa wrote: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!
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!

Perhaps Bag Carrier knows how it all works unlike us mere mortals and might care to advise soon rather than reply with a quip...

Too many, quantity over quality.

Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
Not necessarily because the bigger the field the lesser the qualiy, that's unavoidable but the PDC and Sky are clever enough to work the schedule so that we don't get two or three potentially poor games together.Duneh9617 wrote:This is standard nonsenseWhatHasHappened wrote:Too many, quantity over quality.

It is an interesting point given all matches are played on the same stage unlike say Wimbledon with far more competitors but played on many courts. Wonder if they keep expanding or if this doesn’t work out so well will they have to use another stage at Ally Pally as they do at Minehead??
Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
I think they shouldn't expand it any further now, 96 competitors is more than enough. The quality in the early rounds might suffer a bit but overall this shouldn't hurt the event too much. Using another stage would be a step backwards, which I don't think the PDC wants to undertake.DavidB wrote:nikkiboy wrote:Not necessarily because the bigger the field the lesser the qualiy, that's unavoidable but the PDC and Sky are clever enough to work the schedule so that we don't get two or three potentially poor games together.Duneh9617 wrote:This is standard nonsenseWhatHasHappened wrote:Too many, quantity over quality.

Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
Yes the event would lose something for players if qualifying for the WC didnt guarantee you a TV game. Cant imaging Sky would want darts on two channels.

So I'm assuming that the top 32 come in at round 2?

Bit like when the event was 48 players and the top 16 came in at that round.

Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
Sounds fair enough but the quality wouldn't be diluted that much if you went to 128 and everyone played first round as you would have a PDC top 64 player in every first round game.Ginge wrote:Yes.nikkiboy wrote:So I'm assuming that the top 32 come in at round 2?

Re: Ally Pally goes up to 96 players
Problem is adding sessions. I can see why they are happy to add the sessions they have as its peak christmas night out territory. You add another 5/6 sessions with nothing games and your suddenly going to see a very empty areanikkiboy wrote:Sounds fair enough but the quality wouldn't be diluted that much if you went to 128 and everyone played first round as you would have a PDC top 64 player in every first round game.Ginge wrote:Yes.nikkiboy wrote:So I'm assuming that the top 32 come in at round 2?
