Matthew fucking Edgar.

Are Gurney and Chisnall in Wigan by now? THey are on the board but I still expect a no show.

Had to register by 4pm, so if they are in the draw, would presume they are there.

They can never have made it by car from Vienna this morning.

They went via Munich, apparently.

Incidentally, this is also good news for Andrew Gilding who is now in pole position to qualify if/when Cadby pulls out.

Posted in the GSOD thread, Gurney must have made it as he got beaten5-3 by Jan Dekker.

Are they aware that the Wright Bros invented big pointy things that can fly high and move quickly?

Think I would have rather had one with at least one engine tbh.

As well as the 100+ entries from UK and Irish players for our domestic Women's qualifier for the World Championship, the Rest of the World qualifier is now up to 89 entries made up of players from: Ger, Ned, Gre, Por, Rus, Ita, Jap, Aus, Bel, Cro, Den, Ice, Pol, Swe, Sui

So they are talking some 200 players then. Will be interesting to see the standard across the events and with the take up on this if the PDC look to expand things next year.

This is the PDC. You're asking the wrong question.

Will enough viewers be interested in it, that they can get make money from TV, sponsors and punters?

I don't think they'll do a tour yet. But I do think that these 2 places are the start of _something_.

Hopefully the start of women trying to get tour cards and if not then play the challenge your until one comes through good enough to win one.

Forgive me if I don't hold my breath for the next 120 years whilst I wait for this.

For a women good enough to win a tour card bit extreme

Think Ashton could win one TBH.

There's definitely worse players than Ashton with a card I'd say. She'd have to hit a bit of form during the q-school days though, definitely won't be easy.

Post by **Zeyes** » Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:31 pm

Well, we have the results of her 3 Challenge Tour weekends to go on. 2 of those sets of results would leave her miles away from the tour card, the third set would give her barely enough Q School points if she were to reach the same rounds there. However, Q School is significantly tougher than a Challenge Tour weekend: 1) The fields are two to three times larger, so one or two extra games to survive in each tournament, 2) unless you're winning a card outright you've got to keep your form for four days rather than two, and 3) the field includes the additional 30-odd players who've just lost their tour cards, so there are a lot more players who are at least borderline main tour-worthy than in a CT field.

There being worse players than Ashton with a card currently is neither here nor there, anyway. The relevant question is if they were worse than her when they won their tour cards.
