[bigbigfish]

I'd be shocked if Klaasen doesn't win this

[Black Velvet]

Bye smithy!

How many will the WDF lose to the PDC World Champs with Challenge Tour, Development Tour etc.

Can see 2 or 3 easily.

So the last list will more than likely have most of them in.

Looking forward to this event lots of fine players involved
