World Series of Darts 2020
Re: World Series of Darts 2020
As long rumoured Copenhagen gets a World Series event instead of ET next year.
Being played on a Friday and Saturday 12th & 13th June.
https://www.pdc.tv/news/2019/11/25/nord ... es-circuit
Is at The Forum in Copenhagen, a proper indoor arena that usually holds music events. Is similar size to many of the arenas used by PL around the UK.
They have got a local streaming company as promoter so presume it will be on their service locally rather than Viasat the pay satellite company who screen the PDC televised events.
Will be 8 Scandinavian players (not said how selected yet) vs 8 PDC invitees.

I think it was important to give her a 'bonus'. His point is that if you do well the rewards are there, you dont need a womans only event.

do you actually have friends? being pedantic is not a trait that people like you know.
Re: World Series of Darts 2020
I think this shows the difference in where we are at; the BDO knocks up a quick poster following prompts on here and elsewhere while the PDC parachutes her into a World Series event in New York. I wish someone in the BDO would finally wake up to the reality; the battle is over, the PDC won. Hearn said his door will always be open - go and make an agreement while there is still something of the BDO left.Skewball wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 9:39 amdo you actually have friends? being pedantic is not a trait that people like you know.

That's a great decision by the PDC. Sherrock gets a bit of money, maybe it helps sell a few tickets, and a lucky American gets an easier game.

The Americans will love this.

the media coverage will certainly be 'higher' now she is in the line up.

Re: World Series of Darts 2020
Fallon Sherrock is to enjoy further global stardom during 2020 after accepting an invitation to compete in all PDC World Series of Darts events.
Following her historic victory over Ted Evetts at Alexandra Palace before Christmas, the 25-year-old had been included in the field for the 2020 US Darts Masters as the World Series visits the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.
She subsequently overcame world number 11 Mensur Suljovic before bowing out to Chris Dobey 4-2 on Friday, having led 2-1 during another impressive performance.
Sherrock has now been included for the remaining five international World Series of Darts events, to be held in Copenhagen, Germany, New Zealand and the double-header in Australia.
"I'm so excited to be given this opportunity and I can't wait to play on the World Series next year," said Sherrock. "Being included in just the US Darts Masters was amazing enough but to now be able to go worldwide is something I could only dream of.
"The last week or so has been incredible for me and the reaction I've received from around the world has been crazy. I've loved every minute of it and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
"I want to keep improving my game and the World Series will be another chance for me to show what I can do. I'm really grateful for the opportunity and I hope I can carry on where I left off in the World Championship."
PDC Chairman Barry Hearn said: "Fallon has represented women's darts magnificently at the World Championship and we're delighted to give her a global stage to compete on now in the World Series of Darts.
"We remain committed to furthering opportunities for female players and Fallon's achievements put her at the forefront of this. She has acquitted herself superbly and we can't wait for her to be a part of the World Series this year."
The 2020 World Series of Darts will begin with the US Darts Masters on June 5-6 as the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden hosts the sport's top players, with eight PDC stars set to face off against eight North American qualifiers. Tickets for the US Darts Masters are available through Ticketmaster.
The inaugural Nordic Darts Masters will then be held at Forum Copenhagen on June 12-13 as Denmark hosts a new World Series of Darts event. Tickets for the Nordic Darts Masters are available through Ticketmaster.
The NZ Darts Masters will return to Hamilton's Claudelands Arena on August 21-22, with details of a double-header in Australia and the German Darts Masters to be confirmed in due course.

I imagine one or two of the other lady players will be absolutely seething at these rewards for Fallon.

There will definitely be more than 1 or 2 jealous, but with the obvious exceptions, most will probably be pleased for Fallon and see this type of opportunity as an incentive for them to up their game and avail themselves of potential similar opportunities next year.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 6:48 pm I imagine one or two of the other lady players will be absolutely seething at these rewards for Fallon.

I am sure they said it was a multi year deal in Holland but may only have been 1 year so they good promoted Barney’s farewell to the local fans.
The PDC tour calendar still says TBC.

Reality is this: she is more famous than the golden girl with her 10 world titles. And some will not like that.
astounding really.

Re: World Series of Darts 2020
World Champion Peter Wright, world number one Michael van Gerwen and global sensation Fallon Sherrock have been confirmed among the eight PDC competitors for the 2020 US Darts Masters at the iconic Madison Square Garden in June.

Reigning US Darts Masters Nathan Aspinall will defend his title in New York, and will be joined by 2018 champion Gary Anderson and former finalist Daryl Gurney, who will bring an Irish flavour to the event.
Fiery Welshman Gerwyn Price – the two-time Grand Slam of Darts winner – and 2018 World Champion Rob Cross complete the line-up of top stars who will be part of a ground-breaking moment for the sport.

Re: World Series of Darts 2020
Pretty much expected line up at MSG, with the exception of Michael Smith. Thought he would get in before Daryl Gurney, but really close call for me and think the Irish representation probably swung it in Superchin's favour.
