2019 Q-School

[Ginge]

Yes the Fanatics will be seething two of their top players have gone.

Welcome home, Scott and Mark!

[DavidB]

McGeeney wins. 4th Card to the Gladiator.

He's been superb the past two days, fair to Mark. Always comes across well on tv, sure he'll do well!!!

[Little Lonely Garry]

McGeeney into the last 4 first 2 days, as we all said he'd do, right?

I never doubted him, many others openly did on here...

you are making out that the BDO #1 who got a tourcard on his second day for the right to be among the top 128 is some sort of success says more how you view the bdo #1.

Getting a card should be the very least expected of a "bdo #1"

Did you "never doubted durrant" also ?

[Mensur Suljovic Fan]

Would be very disappointing - and in my view exposed a flawed system - if Glenn Durrant and Scott Waites fail to win Tour Cards. I mean ffs they have five Lakesides between them and one is a PDC Major winner.
Incidentally - in relation to the Grand Slam - if Durrant does get a card would his Grand Slam money count towards the OOM since he qualified as a BDO player?

No, because he's not a PDPA member. Even Adam Smith-Neale's would have reverted to zero had he gone to Wigan and won a tour card because if you're out of that top 64 by the end of the year (and are not on a 2 year card) you go back to 0

[1205]

How many points has The Quiff got now?

Whatever Last 64 and Last 8.

I am not talking about the Grand Slam past - I am talking about the next one. If he wins a card he will play in the Slam in November as a BDO entrant despite the fact he will be a PDC player. Would it be fair that money was added on to his OOM total when his qualification for the event came from winning a BDO event.
EDIT: Unless, of course, he qualifies through the PDC criteria as well in the meantime.

What are you on about??

There were many who didn't think McGeeney would get a card, I thought he could.

Anyway, are you seething after TWO from TWO cards were won by BDO players today??

[Ginge]

. If he wins a card he will play in the Slam in November as a BDO entrant despite the fact he will be a PDC player.

Says who?

The BDO pick their 8 players. Are they really going to pick a player who doesn't play in their system anymore?

[ChrisW]

Seems McGeeney has taken well to the PDC floor. Will be interesting if he carries it across to the pro tour events. As apparently he will bomb on TV.

I have wondered what would happen now in relation to the PDC World's if someone who failed at QS went as a Riley amateur & won the UK Open and then went on the win the Grand Slam. Are they then considered a full pdpa member who would in effect be seeded at Ally Pally ?

Cant work out the people in the zero leg club because darts connect have mixed both tours up. Might go through it tonight.

Fair point. What exactly are their rules for picking who goes to the Slam? Would seem strange they omit their current Lakeside champion even if he has crossed codes. Then again it might be even stranger if they did pick him!

As far as I know they can pick who they want. Seen nothing to suggest otherwise.
Hence why I asked would they really pick someone who won their title 3 times in a row and then ran off?

Could be immaterial anyway.

[Skewball]

Well done both! Having the BDO boys in Q school is making it very interesting.
Very happy to see Scott come through and a bit meh about McGeeney but he's played well. Williams and Conan next would be nice. Durrant would be interesting , and not bothered at all about Waites.

Yeah, it would be basically like Ratajski, makes no odds whether you win a tour card or not, you are still a PDPA member if you go to Q-School, it's just a matter of the amount of tournaments you can play and whether you can retain your money and playing rights for the next year essentially

[The Crusader]

Has Anastasia pleyed at all?

Been using here to see whats happened but don't recall seeing her name.

EDIT: Unless, of course, he qualifies through the PDC criteria as well in the meantime.

It's happened plenty of times before, I believe Michael van Gerwen's debut in the Grand Slam was achieved as a BDO player before he switched. I believe that money stayed on his OoM total, and I think the rules are still the same (MvG is fine by me as the BDO was pretty strong then, would be a bit dodgy now that it's a lot weaker but hey, what can you do). As Ginge says, it could all be academic...in more ways than one

The number of invites are discretionary to the PDC. They can , and have in the passed with Adams etc, 'adjust' the number offered to the BDO and whom they could apply to.

McGeeney into the last 4 first 2 days, as we all said he'd do, right?

I never doubted him, many others openly did on here...

you are making out that the BDO #1 who got a tourcard on his second day for the right to be among the top 128 is some sort of success says more how you view the bdo #1.

Getting a card should be the very least expected of a "bdo #1"

Did you "never doubted durrant" also ?

What are you on about??

There were many who didn't think McGeeney would get a card, I thought he could.

Anyway, are you seething after TWO from TWO cards were won by BDO players today??

why would I be seething the bdo #1 took 2 days to have the right to play in the top 128 of the PDC ? Are you saying its a surprise he got through ?
I think McGeeney is another Ian white, will be grand in the leisure centres and empty halls but has zero tv game and will be nothing but fodder on tv.
Plus he is boring to watch.

Baker I enjoyed watching and he is a good addition and you just know the PDC will play up that mod gimmick.

Nobody can put a spin on the durrant disaster that still has me giggling, that and the fact both lakeside finalists jobbed, not just one day but 2 days
