2019 Q-School

[1205]

Really hope Menzies isn’t denied a card by moaning Kevin Painter winning one. He’s like King got an excuse for everything.

Menzies exasperation is just a different kind of self-delusion.

[1205]

So is Barrie Bates in or out??

Whitehead earns a 1-year card.
Bates needs Shepherd or Murnan to win their semi.
Menzies needs both Shepherd and Murnan to win their semi.

1 Year card ?? Thought q school qualifiers get 2 years because they are starting from scratch .

I thought it was 2 years for the automatic spots and 1 year for the table.

It’s always been 2 years for automatic and OOM qualifiers, unless it’s changed this year but I don’t think it has.

That cant be right surely?? Very difficult to get in top 64 from 0 in one year, although a few do it, most wont.

Shepherd wins.
Bates can go celebrate with Whitehead.
Menzies now is now Murnan's biggest fan.
But unless Murnan turns it around again from 1-4 down, it'll be Nathan Derry who does a Labanauskas.

Bates gets a card

[Moongoose McQueeen]

Murnan playing crap

[Moongoose McQueeen]

Murnan playing crap

4-1 down with a 73ave

[1205]

Murnan playing crap

Yes, but at least he knows that if he stops playing total crap he has a chance.

Or not.

Congratulations Derry, on a last-day rescue mission.

And the BDO summary:

Automatic:
Baker
McGeeney
Table:
Durrant - escaped to a card; will be so interesting to see whether he can learn to handle the pressure playing every week
Whitehead - might have felt he blew it yesterday when losing from 4-0 up but consistent points over the 4 days got him in.

Didn't get a card:
Ashton: just 1 win away. Her finishing let her down when it counted in her day 3 and day 4 losses.
Williams: must be gutted to have 8 from the first two days and then get 2 ducks.
Waites: not even close.

[Sally]

Thanks for your Q school company and comments...I’ve enjoyed it..... Dart Connect is a real asset.

[Astonvilla]

Waites was never likely to be good enough for a card. Slightly surprised that Williams failed.

It's a great bit of kit, everyone should be using it.

Didn't get a card:
Ashton: just 1 win away. Doubles let her down when it counted in her day 3 and day 4 losses.
Williams: must be gutted to have got 2 ducks in the last 2 days.
Waites: not even close.

Waites attempt was a disgrace over 3”4 days. Williams and Ashton could both do some damage on the challenge tour. McKinstry also did nothing good at all despite a lot of hype in some darting circles

Ha. I completely forgot about McKinstry.

I really hope that Ashton's performance here pushes her on to do the Challenge Tour. Does she have a multi-year exemption for the BDO Worlds from her 2018 win?

[Zapp Brannigan]

Not accusing Derry of anything but If I was him Id of mentioned it to Murnan about 20 times before the game that he already had a tour card and I didnt.

"It's been a long 4 days. Congratulations on your card. At least you can relax now. Good luck on the tour this year."

And then, when they find that the tree is too hard to cut down, they'll go back to cutting down easier ones.
