Then it is perfectly possible and has happened as recently as the last Lakeside that people can qualify by being successful in only Cat C Events.
Does anyone think Jim Widmayer is anywhere near a top American dart player ?

So you agree that allowing people who qualify using just cat C & cat D results aren't the BDO's best players ?
Do you not see why the system is flawed and how its allowed many sub standard people into the premier event ?
Or why those people should not be able to qualify as such ?

Players in the States cant help it if there arent any Cat A and B events to begin with and you can hardly expect them to come to Europe.
Jim Widmayer will have been the best player from that pool of players.

How many times has Jim Widmayer played in the PDC World's ?
How many times has Paula qualified for the PDC world's by turning up and winning an event in Timbuktu ?
What has the PDC World's got to do with the flawed BDO qualification process for Lakeside ?

How about Larry Butler?
