2018 PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour

Tony O'Shea finally showing up then. Into the last four.

[oche balboa]

Glad that O'Shea is doing well. I wonder if he will go on the Pro tour if he is given a chance (Or ranked high enough)

I keep on wondering about Evison. He is Jim McKevitt-level nowadays. Why would such a legend lower himself to a painful 5-0 or 5-1 every week? He doesnt need that and doesnt deserve that.

He gets free entry for q school so....

He doesn't get free entry at all for Q School Ian , he pays the same as everyone else. If you are assuming he gets it for being a founder member that's wrong. I play alongside Jamie Harvey who was also a founder member and he gets no benefits of free entry whatsoever.

Intetesting. So you are saying Ian is wrong then?

He definetly is

I see.

Ginge getting all excited there

Indeed I am, it's potentially the second time in history that he will admit he was wrong. Will he do it?

Stay tuned!

Didn't Jamie Harvey and Peter Evison revoke their original honorary membership? I could be wrong on the former - I know he had a falling out with the PDC not so long ago didn't he? Evison went back to play in the BDO so he would've had to revoke his membership too.

I presume with Phil Taylor resigning his membership, he too isn't included as part of that group any more?

Honorary Membership:

Is FREE but to play in any PDC qualifier i.e. UK Open Regional or World Darts Championship qualifier, you must have registered and played in the PDC Q-School in 2018 and have an up to date PDC playing contract. To play as a Tour Card holder you would firstly have had to qualify through Q-School, then have an up to date PDC playing contract.
Current Honorary Members of the PDPA: Bob Anderson, Keith Deller, Peter Evison, Ritchie Gardner, Rod Harrington, Jamie Harvey, Cliff Lazarenko, John Lowe, Denis Priestley, Kevin Spiolek, Phil Taylor, Alan Warriner.
Additions to the original Honorary Members: Peter Manley, John Part.

So in effect they have to pay to go to Q School))

I would presume so but as I can't find any info it may well be free entry for all we know, there have to be some benefits you know

Barnard into the final

1 win for Roxy amd he has his bro Rusty 2nd round cruel draw.

[Richardwatson]

Manley may as the chairman. I know Harvey doesn't and if he doesn't then I don't see why Evison should.

Please do cos if he's getting it free then Jamie will be there next year too.
