2020 Q School

[Deleted User]

Jim Williams comes through a scary top 512 match after his opponent missed match darts

Jim has been awful at Q school. Can’t see him having big runs today and tomoz but we shall see.

DBG wins 5-3 with a 74 average which I think we can say from 3 games now is his standard.

15/42 on doubles over the first few days with an average in the mid 80s has to be nerves.

Agreed. Either that or he's shite.

It REALLY pisses some people on here off that Waites doesn't care about darts as much as they think he should.

Ayres loses to Edhouse with an 87 average, meanwhile some joker wins 5-0 with a 54 ave.

Personally, if possible, I think they should try and take the pro tour to 192. (so on pro tour days top 64 are seeded into 2nd round)
IF, and only if that is possible then I would have a lot more places available each year for the tour by making the bottom 64 from the expanded PRO TOUR ( not order of merit, although not if you are in the top 64 of OOM) all have to qualify again (so no two year exemption - which is not needed as you are using one year pro tour rankings - and there are more places available).

Finally I would make Q school over 5 days and only make them play to last 4, or 8 each day but with no automatic places - so all through a mini order of merit). Or even 8 comps over 4 days where you only play down to last 32 or 16, if possible. (64 boards maybe).

Obvious really

This to me makes the most sense.

• Nobody loses their card next year.
  32 places on the Challenge tour order of merit this year to encourage people to do that.
  32 places at qschool over 5 days done on a order or merrit
  Pro tour extends to 192 places with the top 64 given a bye in round 1

Dave Boy Green better than IFM. Who knew.

They see it as wasted talent.

If he wants to put up dado rails in Batley instead of playing darts for some decent money, that's up to him.

I can barely contain my indifference.

I doubt that it pisses anyone off. Particularly now when he's well past his best.

No. How can the score have been 3-1 with all breaks. One hold from Greaves.
"Dubby" breaks for 3-2.

Keith Carter 3-0 down, 47 average. His opponent has hit 2 x180 and a 174 in 3 legs but can't finish his dinner and is averaging 64.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Scotty Dog wins 5-0

Decent board today with every left on it bar Adam hunt averaging less than 80. Board win will get him 3 Points so needs to go further today.

[foggs3355]

So do we think a run to last 32 today be enough to get Lisa a of tour card on points

[Deleted User]

Greaves out 5-3. 70 average v 77. She hit one big treble in 5 visits in the last leg.

Yeah, 3 more points should do it. 2 might even be enough.
