2020 Q School

[Tommy T-Rex]

Was a great move by Des Selecta removing the clause about withholding prize money if players do Q School, its led to a loss of most of the BDO's top players and freshened up the PDC. Top businessmen is Derek, the daft fraggle.

That will turn out to be his best decision for darts as it will bankrupt the BDO

Hopefully.

To be fair most of the players who ended up going to QS probably would have gone anyway and the same this time... But in the past if they hadn't got a card they would have been lost to the BDO for the year.. at least they got a player like Jim Williams back so it makes sense to me

Has there been any confirmation when they will list the players? - Want to work out if guests will be allowed.

I think once entries are closed.

I read somewhere that 2020 Q School is going to be streamed. I can’t find the link now tho!

I hope it's part of increased streaming overall.

For the PDC to give "no favors" to the women while simultaneously doing them another favor, they could stream some of the women's PDC World Qualifiers as well.

It's going to be interesting to see the absolute tence and stress on some 'Q schoolers' on the stream. Looking forward to it.

I would love it if DBG gets his ban overturned, attends and is on the stream.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Nick Kenny going to QS.... Its going to be busy

That was probably the most obvious.

He's a lovely bloke in person. Hope he gets a card.

Pretty sure that Q School will not have any streamed boards in 2020.

Hearn on twitter said only 3 women signed up so far for a school

Deadline is 2pm on Tuesday 14th January, after the BDO Worlds.
No rush for the laggard.

One if those will he deta

I presume Sherrock has signed up already as well.

This was one of Hearn’s points in the Livedarts interview that fewer women attended the 2019 Women’s WC qualifiers than 2018. But surely much of that is it’s a winner takes all for the UK and International qualifiers as they are the only ones earning money.

So if you don’t think you have a chance of winning why attend especially IIRC they were on a weekday.

They only way more would attend is if you paid prize money to the top 4 or 8 with the winner getting the WC spot as well. But then it becomes a women’s tournament and Hearn and the PDC have said they aren’t interested in that of funding it. Also the qualifying international men’s qualifiers don’t get paid either so why should just the women.
