+1 parletti or Warren

I believe they will leave Leighton out due to his age and safeguarding.
Very surprised Waites not in as WC runner Up.

I got the rest pretty much spot on.

All that will play the Masters (wink wink)

good to see the PDC, sorry I mean BDO, agreed with the 33% of us in the poll.

Good selection.

Which 3 guys have 'missed out' now that 2 ladies and Durrant have been picked?

And I think it's a great idea. Another incentive for the ladies.

Wonder what the general consensus is though within the mens game (BDO that is). General acceptance that it is good or guys a bit cheesed off they have 2 less slots now for the GSOD?

I think if this is a criteria going forward then there is plenty of time

World masters champ wont get a GSOD invite (I suppose the BDO should move the date again)

If he's been shoehorned into this as one of the "BDO picks", then he can't be entitled to have any money he wins applied to his ranking, surely?

I told you all this a couple of days ago. PDC rejected BDO list and put Duzza in instead of NIck Kenny

classic.

So Des can take some credit for including the ladies but any flak in BDO land re Durrant can be laid at the PDC's feet?

It will be interesting to see what Des posts about this. Btw when Des does post is it under his own name (I can't see those) or under the official BDO FB pages?

As part of the deal to allow Duzza to play in this as a BDO representative, he's been given the go ahead to defend his title at the Worlds too. Win-win all round to be honest.

As if the BDO have put those names forward themselves!!... Well it's a PDC event so the PDC have had a major say obviously.

I can easily believe the BDO did the list themselves bar the Kenny/Durrant substitution. Remember who the wife of the chairman is. He would be on the sofabed in the ULTRA ALL INCLUSIVE if he didnt put a couple of wimmin in.

A list with Nick Kenny, Dave Parletti, Wayne Warren and two women would be laughable.
