Both finals predictable whitewashes
People seemingly added to the comps who had already lost
Players slagging the comp openly on social media
Promoting the chairman to say his piece on it also
Holy moly

Maybe Mr. Martin should have emailed Des instead? Any players with a grievance should take it to Facebook!

6% battery Oh no!!!

It's so distracting. Come on, a power bank is much cheaper than a phone.

Ladies pairs also a whitewash (Yorkshire won, Greaves and Brooks). Losers won a leg in the Men's pairs final.

Which is Greaves and which is Williams?

Greaves is the one who'll be going to the 2020 PDC Q School.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

So Des can angrily answer questions about what Tony has posted, but can't be arsed to inform anyone about other events. Nice for Des to pick and choose what he replies to, even with his "Transparency".

"The Saviour of Vizcaya" has utterly failed in his remit, and now is even more of a laughing stock.

I thought she’s age barred as too young. The Women’s PDC World Qualifiers have a 16 years old minimum. They don’t want the safe guarding issues of children playing with adults.

That’s why they have the JDC tour where it’s already in place. Does the Development Tour have a 16 minimum as well ?

Yes also 16 for the DT.

Every day is Christmas in Belgium.

Greaves will be 16 on 9th of January.

So could do DT next year but too young for Ally Pally qualifiers this year.

Correct.

There was a LiveDarts interview with Greaves in September last year (2018) where the interviewer asked Greaves about playing the PDC Worlds Ladies qualifiers in 2020 and her response was more about wanting to play PDC, so he followed up and asked her about going to Q School. She was matter-of-fact about wanting to go to Q School.



I think that she'll play Q School, and then play Challenge Tour, Development Tour and BDO Ladies. When there are clashes, I think she'd favor the BDO Ladies, unless she improves enough that playing the Challenge Tour could give her chances to play in PCs or ET qualifiers.

So cutting to the chase

apart from Tony

who else has Des issued slaps to this weekend ?

[malcy93]

Also worth a go at DT as from 2020 the U.K. Open includes in the preliminary round the top 8 from both the 2019 CT and DT OOMs, this replaces the top 16 from previous year CT this year.

So a big motivation to do well on DT as has better chance of top 8 on DT rather than CT.

However, the Challenge Tour gives spots at Players Championships when players drop out, plus gives spots in European Tour qualifying. Tougher challenge, but greater rewards.

[malcy93]

Can’t you do both CT and DT as the weekends don’t overlap.
