Jimmy Hendriks beat Max Hopp in the final

[IndyCarDavid]

Was a good quality of player in that qualifier. Wouldn't have picked that winner. Think he could win a game or 2 with the right draw.

Was not that great. Near to development tour standards.

Was not that great. Near to development tour standards.

Yeah some of the averages weren't great, but the player entry list was good.

[Dannyboy]

Tournament average was 78. The last development tour averages were around the low 70s.
Last Challenge Tour weekend was low 80s.
Last Women's Series weekend was low 60s.

[ChrisW]

Tournament average was 78. The last development tour averages were around the low 70s.
Last Challenge Tour weekend was low 80s.
Last Women's Series weekend was low 60s.

Well 74-76 range not really low 70s
Like I said it was overall near to that standard.
Lots of games being won in the 50s 60s in the early rounds.

[greatkingrat]

Overall tournament averages can be heavily skewed by the complete no hopers in the early rounds. Looking only at R32 onwards, the averages were

Challenge - 87.7
Development - 87.1
W Europe Qualifier - 86.2
Womens - 73.0

[Dannyboy]

28 countries are represented in the World Championship this year. Think that is one short of the most ever.

Jesus christ.

Why doesn't Girvan get the World Youth place? Scott Williams' Challenge Tour place went to the 3rd place player rather than another PDPA qualifier.

It's the rules.
PDC Tour spots go down, but other Qualifier spots return to PDPA.

It's because they make it up as they go along.

Correcting myself:
(1) There's a specific World Youth Championship rule that says that only the winner can qualify, and other qualification takes precedence.
(2) National/regional qualifiers take priority over OOMs. If a player wins their national qualifier, their OOM place is ignored and the next player down the OOM is invited. However, if a player who wins their qualifier would have been seeded by ranking, they will still be seeded for the tournament.

pdc favorites barney, mvg,ando, bellyboy, krusty all getting the easiest of draws....what a surprise.

Cross looks one of the toughest, as well as Heta

Wade given an easy draw to stop the free fall down the oom.

[ChrisW]

Would say the potential number 1 and number 5 in the oom is the toughest draw.
