Q School 2022

[Rout]

The whole tour card concept really works.

Some had doubts when it was introduced but overall it is good for darts.

It was ridiculous until they scrapped entry fees. Until then the prize on offer was a massive invoice.

Would prefer a different system to Q School. But meh

I dont really see the need for 2 stages or 2 venues

Now its a week long event just have everyone come to one venue for 7 days, 7 winners get cards and then OOM for the rest of the places.

Everyone can have a couple of bad days or bad draws, 7 full tournaments would see the best come through

[Little Lonely Garry]

I thought she hits 90 plus averages almost all the time

smashed today by a guy chucking a 78.

[Booze N Glory]

Leonard Gates would probably have a tour card now if he'd chose the European Q School, rather than the UK. Consistantly in the high 90s, 100s with his averagaes

Looks like Rodriguez is going to miss out on a card again by 1 spot.
He needs the winner of Hendriks v Martinez (who will already have earned their card) to beat Horvat, plus either
- Schmutzler to beat De Vreede and not to win the day, EDIT and not to finish ahead on leg diff.
- OR De Vreede to beat Schmutzler and then lose to Kcuik

It's _way_ better with 2 stages. It just needs a rest day between the stages..

Narrowing down the field to the better players, and then playing for a card reduces the luck of the draw.

I think 1 stage could only work better if they reduced the randomness, but even then 7 days in a row isn't good.

sheerluck finishes 94th and now people want to see Q-school altered......who could have seen that coming

However, before they scrapped the tournament entry fees, the price of Q School was a _lot_ lower.

Think he’s being bailed out by Martinez and Kciuk.

Maybe. Horvat back to 2-3.

Edgar survived match darts to come back against Rout's tip Robert Rickwood. Will play Portewa in the quarter finals.

3-3.
Kciuk had a comfortable 6-1 against Schmutzler, so now just up to Martinez to save Rodriguez.

[1205]

Horvat 3 - 4 Martinez. Martinez breaks back after Horvat missed the bull and 2 darts at double 8.

Wilkinson now into the card spots after surviving a whole bunch of match darts for warm, watery Beveridge.

EDIT Horvat 4 - 4 Martinez. Horvat breaks again and has the darts.
5-4.
EDIT Horvat 5-5 Martinez
Horvat missed 11 darts for his card, although 6 of them at the madhouse.

[1205]

Wow.
After the mess of the 10th leg, Martinez wins 6-5 taking out 76 for a 12-darter, with Horvat sitting on double top.
Rodriguez earns the final tour card.

[Vriezzer]

Rowby-John Rodriguez wins the last EU card.

[1205]

Winner of Pilgrim v Portela, which so far looks like it's going to be Portela.

[greatkingrat]

Will they bother playing the final?

[1205]

UK Quarters:
Gillet (3+5) v Evetts (7,TC)
Day (4+13) v Rock (4+18)
Rafferty(4+22) v Wilkinson (5+16)
Edgar (3+12) v Portela (4+13)

Dennant is on the bubble at 5+14. But Wilkinson (5+16), 2 places above would drop below Dennant with a 3-6 loss or worse.

So now looking likely that 5 points and good leg difference earns a card, although it could be 6 points.

[1205]

Will they bother playing the final?

Yes, they're playing. It could potentially be relevant if Covid were to hit the Challenge Tour and they needed to use Q School positions for PCs.
