Can the man from the pub enter a qualifier for this? If so then this event gets the thumbs up from me.
The PDC World Championship is the biggest and features the best but it is a little too exclusive. There is room for a World Championship that anyone can enter.
PDC World Championships has multiple qualifiers that anyone can enter around the world.
However, in the UK and some other places, these qualifying events are series of multiple events.

A man from the pub could enter and win the PDC Worlds. You just need to qualify for the UK Open via the Riley's qualifiers reach the final of the said UK Open then put in a decent performance in the GSOD and you will have enough ranking pounds on the Order of Merit to qualify or would be handed a Wild card.

Money in the GSOD only counts to PDC players doesn't it?

Exactly, this is the darts version of Sevco in effect. Stealing history.
correct.
you will see a load of backtracking now, and mushrooms claiming this is somehow the same people running it and only the name has changed or it was always the wdf, and rewriting history
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

I can understand this.
The problem is the bdo itself should not even exist in that if you have scottish darts, the edo, welsh etc all part of a WDF then realistically the bdo serves no purpose other than to hold lakeside which is does on behalf of the WDF.
If the WDF , all be it unlikely decide to run the world champs themselves what purpose does the bdo have ?
Take football, you have the sfa, fa, welsh etc, you dont see a british football org running the world cup for FIFA, because they are not idiots to let that happen.

by Chris's logic if it dont matter who runs it, that must mean when the pdc took over running a worlds in 1994, this is a continuation of the world champs from pre split, and the pre split bdo is part of pdc history.
since different people actually running it makes no difference.
spin that.

I then posted a quote from you.

In the scenario above it would count as qualified via the PDC. It didn't count as a BDO invite.
Win UK Open + Finalist Grand Slam or the reverse is 165k, which would currently be 31st in the OOM. Normally not enough, but loss of ET money is reducing earnings.
