Still of the opinion that Tourcard holders should be in this, Has they have more of an advantage over others and the term is "Development"

Any luck?
Brad was 3-1 up in last 128. Missed 2 match darts in the decider.
He'll come good though.

Would probably make Keane Barry favourite to win this tour. He lost last 16 today though.
It is quite strong this year, Schindler having a blast and Keelan Kay will be up there soon.

He seems to have stalled, always capable of one deep run a season, and usually on the pro tour he's averaging high but running into someone playing exceedingly well. Sure he's run into Ian White quite a few times and I think he's been in most of those games..

Berry van Peer comes from 4-3 down to beat Evetts 5-4 in the semis. Then beats Schindler 5-1 in the final.

These are experienced senior players. PDC needs to re-visit the age and other eligibility criteria. Must be disheartening for the younger players seeing the prizes hoovered up by these guys.

I know I sound like JC but he's right when last year Humphries (and others) were having another good run at the senior Worlds whilst still winning major Development events despite having beards, bellies and families.

Tourcard holders should not enter the Development tour, And the World Youth should be down to 23.

The Youth should be up to 21 years old imo.
You aren’t a youth at 23 ffs

Meikle wins.
2 semis for Dom Taylor today. Only 16/17 years old. Rock solid throw.
Another with loads of potential.

Feels like he has bee around forever yet could still play on this for another 2 years after this one. Really need to cut the age to 21.
I think this will be his final season on the DT as he turns 24 later in the year. I do agree though, thought it was a bit of a joke last year when Luke Humphries won the World Youth championship less than two months before his 25th birthday.

Thought you could play as long as you were 24 at start of year so could play next year?
PDC website says you have to be 23 at the start of the year to qualify for the tour. If it was 24, presumably Humphries would still be eligible.

Simplest fix for the pdc would be to change the name to young player as more accurate than youth.
