Great stuff.

Seriously though, no issue with them giving a spot to the winner of that tournament, but they’ve obviously only done it retrospectively to get Fallon in.

Rule 1.1 is hardly new in the PDC.

[1205]

An expensive pick, having just cost the PDC 120,000 pounds to distract from it.

But great news for Beau Greaves to be able to earn almost 70 grand next year.

Surprised, but not entirely. I thought the Sherrock bubble had burst and she and the PDC would benefit from time off.

Next year, don't be surprised if they have to expand to four places next when Greaves, Suzuki and Ashton qualify.

[ChrisW]

Good decision.

I could forgive the blatent favouritism if she had been playing decent recently, but she has been utter tripe. Not going to help her or Porters cause if she gets white washed by a random floor jobber.

Low to mid 80s average is more than enough to win in the early rounds at this bloated event.

As a Pro Tour qualifier, but much less likely for one of the 32 other qualifiers.

No. Have a look at James Wade’s quarter final average last year.

SHOWHORN!

Despite her showing at the Gladslam.

Who was the first to call this spot?

[Dannyboy]

I watched the Porter interview recently saying they had ‘options’ and the players ‘knew what they had to do.’ It was clearly complete cobblers wasn’t it?

Yep. The clue was that Matt Porter was speaking.

It was never in doubt. Sky wanted her there, they had probably already done their 'glass ceiling' previews.

I think they meant 2nd round. That was shit.

But it was also an exception. Mid-80s as a Pro Tour qualifier still has a good chance of winning. As a "65-96" not so much. The outside qualifiers who won their games averaged in the high-80s.

Sherrock was a little unfortunate last year to play one of the better players in Beaton. But, in the 2020 Worlds she drew Evetts, so it's balanced out so far.

[Black Velvet]

No. Wade had a mid 80s average in the quarter final. Where he whitewashed his opponent.
