Challenge tour events time duration

[Jowinho1987]

Imo it sud run in par with the main tour.
Top 128 from q school form the CT
Can still have 2 events per day. And mayb up the format 2 bo11 same as main tour.
Can't see it happening has there taking in £70k in entry fees as it is.

How will you do that. There are two different OOM (UK one and European one)

I would imagine he would have 127 from uk qschool and the other guy. Who gets half the money and pays double entry fee. And must come here on a points based immigration system like australia.

Just seeing event 4 on Sunday went on till past 10 at night surely it’s a bit ridiculous to have players playing darts for roughly 13 hours? The pdc has got to look into the format of entries of the challenge tour

Event 3 on the Saturday finished a few minutes after 11pm so the Sunday was certainly an improvement

There was approx 20 less players in CT4 compared to CT2.

fewer

338 in CT 2 and 321 in CT 4.
So that is 17 less or fewer!!

Some of these ideas are terrible

Not sure he was on the entry list.

[devosteve]

seems a long time ago when some folk claimed the PDC were only interested in the top 16 players!

if you include the JDC there must be quite a number who now play under the PDC banner.

[Black Velvet]

They are only interested in the top 16 players.

Did you try a Dart Connect search using "Naz"? It ignores the initial "of".
I believe after making a miraculous comeback earlier, he was up 4 0, but then quit for good.

What they could do the 1st 2 weekends where numbers high 1 event per day then the next 4 weekend have 2 events on the Saturday 1 Sunday starting at 12

If they upped the prize money 15k per event then it’s still 240k like it is now

Something like this for prize money
4000-2000-1000 500 225 100 50

Change the format!!!!

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

So would the idea of the 1st and 2nd round losers start playing the next event, which should give the better players a bit of a boost for playing well in the 1st event?

Without a formal seeding structure you can't do that.

Why would you need seeding?

As I see it, if they needed to change the format, 1st and 2nd round losers in event 3 would start in a open draw in event 4 then your winners from then onwards(in draw 3) would then be put in an open draw from the 3rd round. Then you reset for the next weekend. Or am I missing something?

It also should show over the season just how garbage some of the players are and might give them a reality check.

No spare boards, as all 32 boards are still being used for round 3...........

The R64 for CT3 was finished about 1415, CT4 didn't start until about 1645, so at least 16 boards were sitting empty for 2.5 hours plus. They could have at least played the R512 matches for the second tournament while the final rounds of the first tournament were being played.

[oche balboa]

How would that have worked

[ChrisW]

They were talking about 1 tournament per day what happened to that.
Just double the prize money.
