My Prediction De Zwaan vs Dancing Dimi for the final

[Kinks]

De Zwaan and Dimitri are in the same half of the draw but have to be two of the favourites

[Dannyboy]

I do like this group stage format; perhaps not as a group of 3 but it’s certainly underused IMO.

[ChrisW]

Wonder if Geert Nentjes might have a run after great dev tour weekend.

[PreciesJJ]

Levy Frauenfelder has replaced Jakob Kelly.

[The Jolly Man]

Still think Nebrida could cause a few surprises, unfortunately he travels all the way from the Philippines and didn’t play the weekend events.

Zong gets a win!

[oche balboa]

De Zwaan is out

[mik252]

Looking at the last 16, I’ll predict a Ted Evetts v Ryan Meikle final.

Edit- Meikle has just gone out in the last 16

I will revise my precdiction to Rydz v Evetts.

Schindler into the final.
And joined by dancin' Dimitri.

[ChrisW]

Dimitri vs Schindler for me.

Well called that man.

[Mgt]

Well called that man.

Should have placed a bet.

[1205]

Looking at the last 16, I’ll predict a Ted Evetts v Ryan Meikle final.

Dimitri vs Schindler for me.

Well called that man.

Well done Mgt for picking the two remaining players that were highest in the OOM. :p

On current form I'd favor Martin Schindler. That'd be 2 German PDC World Youth Champions in 4 years.

A very risky move actually, looking at the last couple of tournaments.

[trotter]

What happens to the Ally Pally spot as both players are already there ?

[mik252]

What happens to the Ally Pally spot as both players are already there ?

I spoke about this in the Ally Pally thread, Mathew Edgar is apparently now in-line to qualify as one of Schindler and van den Bergh will now qualify via the youth worlds instead of the Pro tour order of merit.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Thomas lovely who went out in the last 16 is on fanatics talking about the age of the 2 finalists

I really don’t know why this keeps being brought up, everyone knows it’s up to 24, even football youth teams go up to under 23 now, it’s a pointless argument

[BlueSpark]

If you don't like it, don't play.
Pretty simple.
