Are you sure that was a PDC ladies tour? Methinks you are mistaken.

Re: World Championship Women's Qualifiers Nov 17 & 25
It wasn't a tour as such but the PDC gave them the opportunity to qualify and play in a world championship, this only ever happened for one year. A full tour is more commitment for lady players, after what happened on the first atempt do you think the uptake will be greater for the girlies having to commit even further?Ginge wrote:Are you sure that was a PDC ladies tour?

What did Lisa Ashton spend her £100k on Pads?Paddy McGinty wrote:Well sort of tour leading up to World championship, 20 qualifying tournies plus World qualifiers. They only paid a measly £10,000 to the winner, should be the same as the men's final, talk about discrimination.Ginge wrote:The PDC have run a ladies tour?
When?

I still can't remember such a thing happening. Methinks you will have to post some proof.

People seem convinced that the BDO should 100% let the ladies do what they want as it will help the BDO as they are the only organization with a ladies game and hence it will help with exposure.
If the PDC told all the ladies the day of the qualifier "they were doing a ladies tour next year alongside the challenge tour and by entering today you all have free entry at Qschool for this year to get the ball rolling.......you just need to walk away from the BDO" the PDC would destroy BDO ladies darts overnight.
Its obvious the PDC want UK Sport recognition as the official body. Offering a spot at the worlds to a women is a great media piece and get the ball rolling but they need full events to finish it off. By offering the qualifier as free entry they have a room full of ladies all ready to make a big announcement.
This time they are offering them a place at their biggest event and already 6 of the worlds top 8 have entered
If they get 128 each event then you have a group of ladies you can work with
Offer them entry to qschool for the incentive of joining the new tour. that gives them entry to the uk open and all the Euro tour qualifiers and challenge tour and then tack on their own tour to it
Promise the top lady each year a tour card and promise the ladies places will be in place for the future and you have an incentive for them to jump
Last thing would be a ladies tournament on tv but you could work around that (have a wsod event have a ladies tournament running alongside it or something

Paddy being a bit naughty.
when the PDC had their ladies WC the top prize was the highest in ladies darts. Only after this was announced did the Ladies see an increase at lakeside to the same amount.

.
And I it did 'destroy' ladies darts what kind o impact would it have on the men's game? Some think ladies darts holds back the BDO. For me having the ladies tour diminished as to be destroyed would seriously dent the morale of the BDO, at the top end.

Do you really think that they will get 128 ladies committed to a tour as you suggest?

Re: World Championship Women's Qualifiers Nov 17 & 25
I have said this before but over 700 Ladies play County Darts every County Weekend so to get 128 you are onyl really asking for 2 ladies from each British County to turn up.Paddy McGinty wrote:

If they can't be arsed to do that then they don't deserve anything offered to them by a professional organisation
I still maintain that given the right circumstances with correct marketing that there are probably a very large mass of ladies / young girls whom would be interested in tournament darts that didn't more or less insist that you had to come up thru the BDO / County System etc.

Any restrictions wont matter to some players, They will still go for it.
