Always room for improvement Dave. I support PDC by and large and give praise where it's due. But there are areas where they are clearly fucking up I'm going to say my 2 cents.
Why do you always talk like you know better than those who run the sport or those who play it you complete fucking tool?

I wasn't implying that at all. It's just my opinion. This is exactly what this place is for, sharing opinions.

The Thorn wrote: Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:47 pm Definitely should be a better split. Last year 32 cards went to Q School, 2 to CT and 2 to DT. You could do something like: 8 cards to CT 4 cards to DT 4 cards to regional tour winners 20 cards to Q School - still plenty to play for.
Don't agree with the regional winners, back when they did it with the Scandinavian tour it really showed that the depth isn't there to graduate a player each year and/or the top players ended up not using the card anyway. IMHO the biggest change that's needed is to do only the first stage of Q School regionally, but the final stage combined. Top players (recent tour card holders, top X of CT / DT / regions, etc.) going directly to final stage.

With the caveat that everyone who gets a card should be required to play the majority of the events. This will make sure the regional winners don't waste their cards. If you have a medical exemption its fine but other than that this rule needed to be made anyway. 1 player a year with 4 cards means that the regional winners would only take up 8/128 places, not a big deal really. I think the depth and potential opportunity in at least US, Asia and Australia justifies it.

I maintain that Jurjen van der Velde isnt actually good. He is just monsterously lucky.
Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

Who is Jacques Labre? A second frenchie that can avg over 90 is most unexpected.

Labre might be better than Tricole right now based on 2022 results, been solid on the CT

Van der Velde can fuck off though. Don't like when DT players clog up the CT tour card spots. Shouldn't be allowed
