So Claydon and Brown will be decided on highest average if Baggish gets his 3 legs?

Yes, and John Brown would get the card based on that criteria.

So Claydon and Brown will be decided on highest average if Baggish gets his 3 legs?

Yes. And the difference could just be due to the swing from their final games.
Brown averaged 79 against Dudbridge, while Claydon averaged 92.1 against Dudbridge.

EDIT: No, totally wrong.

Claydon and Brown have their cards - winner gets a card plus top 13

[Westernbulldog]

Top 13 in table so Danny just needs 1 leg i think.

Correct, it’s chas barstow who could sneak back in.

[ILAD]

He needs to win 3 legs, every leg Mitchell wins comes off the total Baggish has.

[fling]

There is presently 14 names above Barstow.
1 will come off the list. Leaving 13
If Baggish wins 1 leg he stays above Barstow. If he loses 6-0 he is goes below him.

[1205]

Top 13 in table so Danny just needs 1 leg i think.

Right. It _is_ only 1 leg needed.
Baggish drops to 14th with a 1-6 loss, but Mitchell disappears so back up to 13th.
With a 0-6 loss drops to 15th below Barstow, up to 14th.

[greatkingrat]

If Baggish loses the final 6-0 the table will be

1 Main
2 Gilding
3 Lukeman
4 Williams
5 Lovely
6 Soutar
7 Murnan
8 Mathers
9 Hudson
10 Worsley
11 Claydon 5 (+7), 44 legs
11 Brown 5 (+7), 44 legs
13 Barstow 5 (+5), 46 legs
===
14 Baggish 5 (+5), 32 legs
(Mitchell is an automatic qualifier)

Any other result he is through.

[ILAD]

That’s correct, I was looking at the +7 on the wrong player, ha

[ILAD]

PDC should have the last day streamed.

[Westernbulldog]

Biggest choke of the last day should go to big Kev Mcdine who lost 6-5 to the in form Pete Hudson from 5-1 up needing only the win to get a card.

[1205]

PDC should have the last day streamed.

I think that after the standard of play at the finals this year, they should be able to do some streaming.
They could at least stream the final every day without upsetting scheduling.

Baggish has his leg. With a double 10, of course.

[ssjsa]

So is that Danny definitely got his card after winning his 1st leg?

Edit- Now confirmed on the Darts ranking site.

Well done Danny

[TheWall]

Baggish made hard work of getting that card. Could have been a lot easier if he went to Europe. Glad to see he got there in the end though.

[malcy93]

Mitchell wins 6-2 for automatic card.

Baggish scrapes in via OOM in last card place with 2 leg better leg difference than best non qualifier.

[Grim Reaper]

Maybe, maybe not. Campbell didn't exactly shine in European Q-School and people were thinking he had a very strong shot at a card.

[ILAD]

Mitchell wins 6-2 for automatic card.

Baggish scrapes in via OOM in last card place with 2 leg better leg difference than best non qualifier.

Yet the bloke he beat had won 12 more legs. That to me shows consistency not leg difference.

[1205]

Not too bad a group.

A few young players in Williams (19), Brown (21) and Main (24).
Mitchell finally part-time in the PDC.
Baggish gets his card.
An Australian replaces Kyle Anderson.
A few older first-timers.

Here's the "others" in the 2020 Challenge Tour and how they did at Q School.
(#3 Barry got a card via the Development Tour.)
Note that 5+leg difference was needed to card in the UK, and 6+leg difference in the EU.

Which is better
6-0, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, 0-6
or
6-5, 6-5, 6-5, 6-5, 5-6
?

In the past, legs won has been about how you lost and whether you had to play prelim games. Here it's also more about how you did in the Last 128, which was almost full.

The Last 128 has more of the weaker players in it, so counting it means more luck of the draw.
But maybe next year they could put matches won ahead of leg difference.
