Durrant and the Slam
Durrant and the Slam
Surely the PDC will not allow this ridiculous situation to come to pass?

Why would you email Paula and Des? Odd.
He is the champion, yet the BDO set the criteria, if they change it or give it to someone else, who cares.

Re: Durrant and the Slam
That being said, he would be preferable to ANY of the “top echelon” of BDO players left.
Re: Durrant and the Slam
You would assume the PDC would veto it if he isnt picked by them. Its their event ffs.BlueSpark wrote:Why would you email Paula and Des? Odd.

It will be interesting.
Hardly a surprise he’s drawn a blank with the BDO.
Transparency working well.

"But if what you said was true regards current BDO world champ gets a grand slam spot then surely he can go legal if he don’t get a place at the grand slam ?"
This was a comment on fanatics discussing this subject. saying what duzza should do if he doesn't get given a place by the BDO.
I do wonder if folks are on the wind up trying to get mention on JC's blog. Or maybe some think Duzza has a right to be given a slot and can thus make a legal challenge!

Re: Durrant and the Slam
He shouldn’t be allowed in as a BDO representative. He will have done enough to qualify as a PDC one.
Re: Durrant and the Slam
Pdc would want him there as a BDO player surely.
Re: Durrant and the Slam
In which case they tell them he has to be one of the 8,not as if they hold none of the cards here.

Re: Durrant and the Slam
Think this is when we will find out if the BDO have total discretion over their 8 spots.
No way would they want one of their spots going to a PDC player. I know Bunting represented the BDO as their WC, but that was before the PDC articulated that the BDO were in total control of their invites.

Re: Durrant and the Slam
Maybe they could pull an EDO and inexplicably put Lewis Venes in as the 8th man.

He's already 17th. He'll have to play qualifiers, unless he can win another Players Championship and get priority over the single winners.Black Velvet wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:59 am He shouldn’t be allowed in as a BDO representative. He will have done enough to qualify as a PDC one.

Oh, I see. I think you're wrong.

Then it wouldn't be ranked, reducing the tournament's value.phil davies wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 3:30 pm Could easily be solved by scraping the ridiculous 8 pdc qualifiers and actually putting all winners(and runners up of tv events) into the slam like they should be anyway.
