PDC Challenge Tour 2020

[Ginge]

After reviewing the opening weekend of the 2020 season with the PDPA, the PDC has decided to stage the next four events of the year over three days, scheduled as follows:
Friday April 10 - Event Five
Saturday April 11 - Events Six and Seven
Sunday April 12 - Event Eight

Can see plenty skipping the Friday evening one then....

[ChrisW]

Sensible move.

[fling]

Still means a late finish on the Saturday.
With it being Easter weekend a few may be missing it.

Not the ambitious ones, or those who do not have kids to spend easter with.

I know you are being facetious but if any of the Challenge Tour players were fanatical church goers, they wouldnt be turning up on normal Sundays anyway

Easter Sunday is always one of the busiest services. Some of the congregation only attend Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday.
So the other Sundays may not be so important.

Thank you, Reverend Richard Coles.

No problem my child.

[Booji Boy]

If its the easter weekend does that not mean that people will have the Friday off?

[Black Velvet]

Yes

[Booji Boy]

Nice wee family holiday then for those players with kids

[Zapp Brannigan]

Watch all the player who moan about the late finishes now moan about having to skip work on a Friday. Damned either way for the PDC.

Sensible move from my point of view. And if you don’t want to take time of work then tough shit if your not serious about wanting a PDC card then maybe you shouldn’t be doing the challenge tour anyway.

The way the calendar is going the pro tour is going is going to move mid week anyway (think porter said he wanted it to happen in the future) so can’t see people complaining if the odd challenge tour ends up on a Friday

Well I can but it will be the people complaining that the doc held a women’s qualifier mid week and then said nothing when the bdo held their women’s qualifier on a Monday

[oche balboa]

Zapp it wasn’t standalone it was during world masters week

[Ginge]

Zapp it wasn’t standalone it was during world masters week

You mean that event where almost every woman had to either hang around all weekend for 3 days to play in it, or had to go home and then come back on the Monday? That one?

[ChrisW]

Don't understand what the scheduling of a ladies qualifier has to do with this issue.

[Maverick]

If its the easter weekend does that not mean that people will have the Friday off?

Not everyone , before the stroke I’d probably be expected to work it . Anyone working shifts could be expected to work it.

Better cancel all Saturday and Sunday darts then just to be on the safe side and other darts players who work shifts cant get the time off

[Rout]

Or just get better at running darts events.
