That is very true.. There are not that many women at true elite level anyway so what's the point in them travelling with zero chance of qualifying... The ones with realistic chances of qualifying were there which is all that matters really..1205 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 5:17 pm105, I thinkfoggs3355 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 4:27 pmWhat was numbers last yearThe Master wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 10:48 am Only 38 players in PDC World Championship Women's ROTW Qualifier.

With no prize money for any of the losers, I think a lot of the players were realistic that it wasn't worth spending the money to go.
Only three qualified for the 2020 Superleague, Gotthardt, Klose and Kniest
Delighted for the young lad, done some good things this year. A real promising talent, hope to see him on the tour soon. As for Schindler, it looks like competing in the HNQs up until last year flattered him, looks like the PDPA or bust for him, and sometimes strange things happen at that eventssjsa wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 9:05 pm Nico Kurz will make his William Hill World Championship debut in December after winning the German Superleague World Championship Qualifier on Sunday.
The 22-year-old, who claimed the biggest win of his career against Gary Anderson in the German Darts Masters in July, defeated Martin Schindler 10-6 in the final.
The top eight players on the 2019 German Super League table who hadn't already qualified for the World Championship descended on Hildesheim for the qualifying event.
Kurz, who made his TV debut at the 2018 German Darts Masters, came through a last-leg shoot-out with Manfred Bilderl in the quarter-finals before getting the better of Maik Langendorf to reach the final.
There, he averaged 94.2 against pre-event favourite Martin Schindler to claim a crucial victory in his fledgling career.

I believe he'd have been able to do both even last year as the German Superleague isn't a one-off event, but this year they've changed the rules so that players can play in a regional qualifying event/tour and/or the PDPA qualifier
Yes this was attached to World MastersZapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 7:05 pm Everyone’s favourite mouthpiece excuse for a potential low turnout for the ladies qualifier is because it’s on a Monday with no payout for anyone that doesn’t qualify
Completely ignoring the fact the bdo worlds qualifier was a Monday.....and none of the ladies that failed to qualify got a payout
The only top eligible female player missing is O'Brien.
One generous place for this qualifier, which has the best UK players in it.
Again, the ladies don’t support an event when they’re handed two generous places.

On a Monday.
As long as the top players turn up, that's all that matters.
