Chaos and disaster-2019 One80 LStyle World Masters (Oct 25-27) Venue-Circus Tavern

[ssjsa]

Think the Circus Tavern is a decent choice of venue. Just off the M25 so easy to access and with both, a Premier Inn at Purfleet, and for me a better one 5 minutes down the road at Rainham (Willow Tree Farm) . Both on the North side of the Dartford Bridge/ Tunnel so no daily toll charges either.

It seems there’s a massive conflict of interest over the possible date of the world pro qualifier. It could ideally have been the Tuesday 22nd then players from all over the world may have only needed to stay a few nights to play the world pro qualifier and the masters, however the Jacklin Corporation’s event in Cyprus ends on the 22nd!

Has Des screwed everyone for the sake of personal gain from a tournament he/his wife run. Questions should be asked

Probably a ploy to ensure people are in the venue to watch the latter stages.

[Ginge]

Well done Des

Circus Tavern was always a good venue.

Can’t see anyone moaning that the seeds no longer parachuted into the tv stages.

May i introduce Dave.

[ChrisW]

Don't worry Dave. No one is going. Bye to the semis.

[Ginge]

I can see why the top players are a bit annoyed but the exemptions should never have happened to begin with.

Not as if they have a steller lineup of household names to protect anymore so why keep it?

[nikkiboy]

Circus Tavern, now you're talking and the return to floor qualifying makes sense. Nice one.

[BlueSpark]

Those already qualified having to pay another score to play in the tournament for some bizarre reason.
Adding another couple of days onto the event as well a mere few months away.
Comedy gold.

[ChrisW]

A look around the venue from last year with RVB.
Features briefly Bristow just a couple of weeks before he sadly passed.

The Men’s and Ladies World Professional play-offs will be held on Monday 28th October

Good choice of venu tickets on sale 2.5 months before which is better if they can get world pro tickets on sale by end of August that be a lot better to

I don’t get why they can’t play world pro playoffs on the Wednesday then world masters early round on Thursday and definitely better all start early rounds like it used to be will this money they now got to pay will go on prize fund I think woman’s needs last 16 payout

[ChrisW]

If only the new BDO 'management' had thought about the 'working class players'.

[Bag Carrier]

Personally I have to say well done for getting the venues.

But WTF is the schedule all about.

Added extra days onto the schedule when (myself included) people have booked to go to Cyprus to an event where you have to stay on site to earn others cash and land back less than 24hrs before the start if this in South UK.

Was happy to have qualified this year but now impossible for me and also possibly Ana to go due to the scheduling.

I can see this being the worst attended Masters.

God Bless the BDO and all who play in her.

Do I hear the sound of a GoFundMe being set up to fight this injustice?

[Skewball]

So not one player is happy with this, seed or qualifier. Well done Des lol

[Dannyboy]

Why should someone have to pay to enter something that they’ve already qualified for.

That is actually a joke and just defeats the object of it.

Why not just prioritise the Masters ahead of the North Cyprus Tinpot Open? Easy for me to say I know, considering you’ve both paid for it I guess

Or perhaps it was just their pockets.
