hope he watches this on the television and sees what he is missing. He has to face the fact he may have peaked and is on his way out unless he does something.
The lazy ***** gets beaten in L64 his first match by Simon Stevenson ranked #69 in the OOM.
The quicker he drops out of the top 32 the better and loses all his majors invites. Next year will have to get off his backside and play the PC and ET to get invites.
Well if he has a bad Ally Pally then he'll be out of the top 16 so he'll not be in any TV events ..so he'll have to enter events....and if he does drop out of top 16 he surely can't get a PL spot as well...so he'll have to work at it again...he's good enough if he focuses again..

There's this story of Peter Wright watching the GSOD on TV circa 2008 and telling his wife that he used to beat some of those players back when he still played. 2017 will be kinda like that for Lewis. :)

I really dont get how actual tournament winners get left out and yet we still get 8 qualifiers from a pointless qualifier.

Should be all the winners of majors, then wsod winners, then euro tour winners, then pro tour winners and only 2 from the qualifier.

Exactly, having all these floor qualifiers makes for a much worse tournament..

Something to do with the fact that they are more used to best of 9 matches no doubt...

Half of them on a five-year delay, which of course is appropriate with the BDO.

Totally agree. I'd rather a few more BDO boys in than a PDC also ran.
