2019 Q-School

[Ginge]

Re q school entries, I've always said it mostly depends on the draw. 2 top players play each other while 50 plus avs on next board. Doesn't necessarily produce the best or fair reflection of talent. Vetting is difficult but I personally would seed it. Controversial but a weaker player with below par averages could possibly pick up 3 or 2 points per day depending on draw alone. Seedings based on maybe pro tour card loss and bdo entries etc could make a fairer q school. And make it more professional. It's just an idea based on personal experience.

this is the point the forums favourite jeff jeff jeff was articulating that the random draw means players of 90+ average can play easch other & 1 goes out first time & a lucky 50 average playing each other can pick up easier points, but whatever is done someone will always be affected

Its a fair point, maybe the draw needs to be seeded so that darting Goliaths like Durrant, Tickle and Herewini are seperated early doors.

I doubt there was many (if any) who won enough games with a 50 average to pick up any points as pretty sure you had to win a couple of games each day to get in the points.

A bye into the Last 256 and then one win would get you a point wouldn't it?
Not that one point is going to get you very far over 4 days.

Short of a very small probability that 8 fish are drawn on the same board every day, the fish aren't going to do damage themselves, but it is possible that they could influence results by allowing another player to get a point on a day where they otherwise play badly.

[trotter01]

It worked out fine...you've enough chances over 4 days to get enough points to get through ..it's not the draws fault that somebody like Jim Williams crashed out on day 4 with a 73 average so scored zero points...I reckon every player had a fair shout this year...if you didn't make it over 4 days you weren't good enough.

[Ginge]

[ChrisW]

Would be like saying Thomas Lovely is not that lovely.

[Paddy McGinty]

The article and data came from a third party darts news site, why on earth would they mention a nonentity?
