2023 Greatest Show on Earth

[thegentle]

Don't know if there's already a thread, feel free to merge if there already is one, mods, but I thought it was about time there was one of these as we're most of the way through the ProTour season now, and the international qualifiers around the world are also gaining a head of steam. Happily Raymond Smith qualified in Aus today, and there are also Japanese qualifiers today too

Sho Katsumi is a former Japanese World Cup representative, even beat Adrian Lewis in a singles match, don't know the others though, Muramatsu and Asada got knocked out in the quarters

How the main tour qualification spots are looking at the moment, though I believe Doets is provisionally in a spot as a result of Razma being in the top 2 on the Nordic/Baltic tour

What did Raymond qualify from?

[thegentle]

The event was called the DPA ProTour Alexandra Palace Playoff, I think it's the equivalent of the DPA Tour this year, but as the tour events this year have been separated between the different states of Aus, they had a nationwide knockout qualifier

[thegentle]

Meanwhile in Japan it's yet another surprise, and yet another TV debutant

[The Ginge Reaper]

They all look the same anyway, wouldn't matter who it was.

[TheMalteseDart]

If it’s not Edward Shouj Foulkes then I’m not bothered, does he still play?

[thegentle]

He played in this, got knocked out in the round of 64 though

[oche balboa]

Raymond Smith is in as well

Nothing gets past Oche
