[Black Velvet]

Hamilton showed the entire PDC up by switching and failing to win Lakeside at a canter. Really peeled back the curtain.

How many round at world championship will miss need to win to keep her card

2 wins for Ashton. Meeulenkamp and then Smith.

For Sherrock to earn her card via the OOM, Sherrock would need to have 3 wins.
Beaton, Huybrechts and then Price (assuming Price beats Edhouse/Wen).

Entries for the 2022 PDC Qualifying School are now available, with coveted spots on the PDC ProTour on offer in Milton Keynes and Niedernhausen in January.

The 2022 PDC Qualifying School will be held across two stages from January 9-15, with events being held simultaneously in the UK and Germany.

First Stage will be held across three days from January 9-11, with players then progressing to Final Stage to compete from January 12-15 to win PDC Tour Cards.

First Stage will see the last eight players from each day qualify automatically for Final Stage, with the remaining places in Final Stage up to a limit of 128 players being decided from a First Stage Order of Merit, with one point being awarded per win from the first full round drawn without Byes.

The following players will be exempt to Final Stage of Q School in their respective region:
* Players who lose their PDC Tour Card at the end of 2021
* The players who finished from second to fourth from each of the final 2021 UK & European Challenge & Development Tour Orders of Merit.

In addition, the top eight players from the 2021 PDC Women's Series Order of Merit and the top eight players from the 2021 PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour Order of Merit will receive free entry to First Stage in their respective region.

Players from the UK, Republic of Ireland and Gibraltar will play in the UK & Ireland Q School at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

Players from all other European nations will play in the European Q School at the H+ Hotel in Niedernhausen.

Players from other nations outside of Europe may choose which Q School they compete in. Due to ongoing travel restrictions, the PDC may permit players to participate in an alternative Q School venue to the above criteria if it is more practical for them to do so.

Entry to the 2022 PDC Qualifying School is now available through the PDC Entry system https://www.pdcplayers.com/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f, costing £450 (including £50 DRA Sanction Fee).

New players must Register their details at this link https://www.pdcplayers.com/Account/Register. Following your registration, you will receive an email to confirm that you are available to enter tournaments, and at this stage you can login to make your entry to the relevant events. This verification may take up to 48 hours.

Entries close at 1400 GMT on Wednesday January 5 2022.

Also nothing about Womens Series winner getting a tour card.

Why would they do that?

To show a bit of willing, I suppose. Plus they wouldnt admit it but I am sure they would want the Lakeside winner to have a crack and win a card straight off the bat.

This

It means if someone like Raman or Tricole get to the 2nd Saturday or Sunday they are screwed for Q-School

[ChrisW]

Gives the winner a chance to defend their title.

You can apply to switch it says if your location means you need to use the alternative site.
So all Lakeside participants would just ask to be allocated to U.K. Q-School which the PDC would accept as they are already in U.K.

That's not the problem this time.

The problem is that the WDF ends 9/1 and Q School starts 9/1. Previously there was always enough of a gap between the BDO Worlds and UK Q School that Europeans could switch and not have a clash.

Somebody needs to ask the PDC about it.

During the Lakeside draw, talking to Scott Mitchell, Richard Ashdown said "Alternative tour" instead of just saying PDC.
I don't know what going on, but this certainly doesn't seem like a new era of cooperation.
