I think the WDF Worlds has just slipped too far down the list.
Its only one place ffs. Give it duff and that would be the end of it. WDF Worlds is televised much to your irritation :)
I would actually prefer a few WDF players to be included. It would make the event a bit more interesting, purely for the banter on forums and your inevitable meltdown.

However, you can't blame the PDC for favouring players who've had success in their own events. Especially since the GSOD is a ranking event.

Also, it's not like anyone besides the odd weirdo on Twitter is going to be arsed that Neil Duff won't be playing. He's hardly box office is he?

Maybe he could have dragged Taylor down, we will never know.

At the end of the day it is a PDC run event.... Why should there be a spot for Duff?

He won the WDF worlds, but that should not be a "gimme" to get an invite to a PDC event

It is not a cross code event anymore...

Was it ever? It was always a PDC event with the PDC handling the prize money, venue, broadcasting, promotion etc. They just handed out invites to BDO/WDF players but the organisations themselves contributed nothing.

You don't want unity.
The PDC has already unified the game. What you want Balboa (this is serious) is for your beloved three-letter initials W, D and F to get validated. And the wait continues. Unlucky.

The community is so disrespectful with the first ever WDF World Champion. Such a disgrace.

I like Gates getting the nod. He's clearly got the game and even if he didn't win the NA Championship, there were loads of tour card holders or Cameron, stepping up to readily stand in. Many of which are better than Duff.

That said though, Gates and Asia Champion means two spots less for ProTour probably. Possibly looking like Queef/Scott Williams/Jansen getting the boot, maybe even further up to Aspinall and beyond

I won't be trying again. I liked it the first time.

If Duzza, Hughes, Jeff, Noppert, Mitchell and Waites were all in the GSoD this year... meh? But when they had 'BDO' in brackets after their names you were buzzing about having a lovely time. So, yes. Your beloved initials. At least Greipel loves Duff for himself... god knows how, but still. You're just shallow.
