The PDC Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour 2019 starts this weekend.

We are ready for the Pro Tour of 2019, and it all starts in Gothenburg Sweden. The first Pro Tour event will be held tomorrow, but first there will be two European qualification events today.

At Saturday there will be another qualification event after the Pro Tour Event.

At Sunday the last event of the weekend will be held, as we will see Pro Tour 2 take off.

73 players have registered for the weekend, some will play all five events, and some will only play the two Pro Tour events.

Denmark is the country with most entries, as 22 Danes have registrered for the weekend. The most prominent name of the Danish players is Per Laursen, who ended as number 10 on the PDCNB ranking last season.

The Swedes will be almost as many as the Danes, as 21 Swedes have registrered for the weekend. Among the Swedes we find Daniel Larsson and Dennis Nilsson. But it is also worth to mention, that Magnus Caris has not registrered for the weekend.

The three PDC Tour Card holders Darius Labanauskas, Madars Razma and Marko Kantele is also ready for the weekend. Common for all three players are the fact, that they have only registrered for the two Pro Tour events.

Last weekend also saw six PDCNB-players participating on the Challenge Tour. Besides Dennis Nilsson, the five were Aegir Björnsson, Ivan Springborg, Mindaugas Barauskas, Niels Heinsøe, Niels J Hansen and Pauli Finnilä, and all of them have also registrered for this weekend.

Other interesting names for the weekend are Kim Viljanen, Cor Dekker, Ulf Ceder, Johan Engström and the Portuguese Icelander Vitor Charrua, who just won the Icelandic Premier League.

The battle about the two tickets for the World Championship 2020 starts this weekend. Game on!

I also think there will be streaming from LiveDarts Iceland

https://www.facebook.com/livedartsiceland/

59 players registered, not 73 (it looks like the page also counts the empty lines below the names for some reason).

Stream can be found on either the Live Darts Iceland or the PDC Nordic & Baltic Facebook pages.

What's up with Caris, has he retired? He's qualified for one of the first three ET events this year hasn't he?

Should be very open this year with the three tour card holders. Good chance for a lot of fresh faces in the European Tour, plus if Darius, Razma and/or Kantele make it via the main tour, the race for Ally Pally will be interesting too

I think numbers for opening weekend not the best I thought they get at least 64

Dennis Nilsson won the ET4 qualifier yesterday. Johan Engstrom won the ET5 qualifier, beating Nilsson in the final.

The final of the opening tour event of the season is about to start with Madars Razma taking on Ulf Ceder. Razma came through a pretty intense semi against Engstrom, plenty of needle between them and it looked like words were exchanged at the end, hard to tell what the problem was though.

Razma beats Ceder 6-0 to win the opening event of the season.

Not sure what the needle at the start was about, but Razma walked back the wrong way towards the end of that game. Both players were giving it large a bit, but hardly at Gerwyn Price levels. It was one of those games where they used it to get fired up, good game to watch!

Surprised there wasn't needle in the Engstrom v Nilsson game . No love lost there at all.

Why? Don´t just tease people

Nilssons ex girlfriend of a few years recently left him and now lives with Engstrom.

This kind of drama is not what you need when you play darts

But I just had a look at Nilssons facebook and there he seems to be in a relationship since 2017. So this drama wasn´t that recently? However I hope he gets over it soon, decent player that I like to watch

Yeah around a year ago or 2 maybe. Yeah good player to watch.

Baltic double this weekend, Darius tops the early standings given he got to the quarters yesterday and Razma bombed out early today (still to find the full standings)

Relationships don't necessarily end in a messy way.
I knew of a group of 3 couples who were friends and who had exchanged spouses.
