Lakeside Qualifiers today

[checkmate]

alan souter has been waiting nearly 2 hrs to find out who his semi final opponent is going to be !!!!!!!!! the poor guy is one game from qualifying and for some reason 3 matches have taken all this time the rest of the competition was almost half done in this time what is going on

They are replaying the draw after cancelling Mansell results at the order of the fatman. And quite right too!

mansell waas'nt in the bdo part of the qualifier if you really wan't to argue with people about it at least get it right

I know that checkmate, I was being ironic

i don't get why this thing with mansell upsets you so much..... last year hendo and i think it was pecker qualified through the play offs, and at the time they were knocking all the folk out, were almost certain to get in on the points list so it's the system that's wrong not the players

Congratulations to the players who have qualified so far.

Personally speaking, the BDO World Championship isn't what it used to be, but the play-offs must be very tough to get through and I hope the guys who qualified today do themselves justice.

As for the standby play-off, is that being updated on the BDO site or is it going to be a state secret?

I'm sure they will let us know once they have fixed the standby draw to give the two British playets a better chance.

I'm sure if Kim Huybrecths wins the Standby Player slot, everyone in the venue will be so pleased for him!

I am sure most would be, he and his brother are very nice guys and just love playing darts.

Even though he did a bunk from the Turkish to play a PDC event? Bet most won't love him for that.

No disrespect to Dennis Harbour or Andy Boulton, but I hope either Huybrechts or Korte takes the standby place. Having three Dutchmen and a token German as the only overseas players is poor - there needs to be a proper review of the ranking criteria in my view otherwise Lakeside has no credibility as a 'World' championship.

This could be highlighted even further at the weekend, because the 8 seeds for the Masters are all UK based players. You could have NO overseas players in the final stages of the 'World' Masters.

Would still leave no players at all from outside Western Europe

andy boulton got the standby place .... very good player andy hope he gets in I would say if he played the tour he would have walked in anyway he wins a lot of money comps

[Ginge]

So the BDOs plan to get extra nations in has resulted in one extra country being represented.
Well done all!!

they need to scrap where if you make the semis you get back in next year only do that for the winner which would give you 3 spaces to fill top ranked for north amercia events i think there is 6-8 of thoes and top 2 from aus events i think there 8-9 of thoes this way more international players get in

[foggs3355]

when will they do the draw sometime in the next week

when will they do the draw sometime in the next week

Whenever Bob Potter is available to fix it behind closed doors with Olly Croft and no TV, Internet or radio coverage draw the balls out of the bag, I guess

Most people in Hull dont know that he left the mens pairs event in Turkey, I am really sure the aussies the americans, the canadians etc etccouldnt care less. And most of the british people in hull werent in turkey and not even close to being most.

The only people who seem to be put out by him leaving a pairs event are the keyboard warriors

I didnt see you there either I was there but the pdc wouldnt let the kids in to watch their mother play, but I have it sussed for the next one, I am going to teach them rowdy football songs, teach them to boo loudly when the opponent is going for a double and get them both gloriously drunk then they will probably slip in unnoticed

Shaun Griffiths - wonderkid. Cannot wait to see him at the lakeside. This is what makes it the tournament it is. I watched this lad against Chissy last week and it was one of the best darts matches i have ever seen - 13, 12 and 11 darters going in for fun and although Chissy won, Shaun had already beaten Kong and others to get to the quarters. The lad is electric - if he can hold it together on the toughest stage of all we could be witnessing the berth of another young superstar.
