I thought people who paid for QS but never attended just so they could play challenge tour were excluded ?

PDPA Associate Members who did not win a PDC Tour Card at the 2020 Qualifying Schools are entitled to enter the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers.

Making it clear that Associate Members and non PDPA are entitled to play.

Riley's only mentions barring PDC Tour Card holders, which obviously makes sense.

2. Players will be allowed to enter more than one Qualifier. Tour Card Holders are not eligible to enter this competition.

Yes I think if you attended QS you couldn't play Rileys at one point but back then they could enter the 6 or 8 rounds to qualify on the OOM... now their only route is the Rileys so makes sense

[Black Velvet]

Yeah it’s only card holders who are precluded from the Riley’s qualifiers.

[oche balboa]

Load of bollocks, If you been to Q School and failed then you should be banned from Riley's

[Zapp Brannigan]

Tried to get a quote for an apartment today and was told it’s completely sold out and the players championship final is also nearly sold out

I agree with that

How many tickets have u brought

Why?

I would agree if they still had the 6 or 8 UK Open qualifiers with a mini OOM that you could enter if you failed at QS... Ratajski won one of them just after failing at QS.. but they don't.. Everybody successful at QS goes straight to Minehead now so it's unfair to block the route for anybody else if you want a proper competition

Don't agree with the not being allowed to enter Rileys if you were in Qschool.
Supposed to be an Open so players should be allowed to use any route.
Also will be a nightmare to administrate.

In fairness, don't think that many legitimate darts fans would disagree with you.

The Rileys Qualifiers are going to see some real decent players get through, and this will only strengthen the field at Minehead

Gone are the days when Speedy Hire employees and decidedly average players can rock up and participate in a PDC Major.

And these riley's qualifiers are often very poorly organised as it is.

Mixed emotions about this, obviously the decidedly average players can do one, but there'll be a lot of known quantities in the field, even the 'amateur' qualifiers. Kind of a shame, the days where complete unknowns can rock up and cause shockwaves are coming to an end I feel. Still, there's plenty of potential for thrills and spills, last year's event was brilliant

A certain Rob Cross did that not long ago.

Even since then, a lot has changed, free entry, expansion of TV events, dropping the BDO ban on Q-Schoolers. If Cross were a few years younger, I'm sure he'd have given the PDC a go earlier

We'll always have the memories. And thousands of pounds in winnings.
