2018 Greatest Show on Earth

[Randall]

What's the format?

Best of 11 legs.
It may go up in the final rounds, I'm not sure about that.

Was about to say the short format could be a leveller but a lot of the Masters game were over in 6-11 legs anyway.

[The Thorn]

Last 8 in the Eastern European qualifier, format is best of 11 all the way it seems.

Benjamin Pratnemer - Janos Vegso
Alan Ljubic - Nandor Bezzeg
Krzysztof Ratajski - Pero Ljubic
Frantisek Humpula - Krzysztof Kciuk

The glorious possibility draws close..........

Even if Krzys does't come through in this, he still can qualify by Pro Tour?

He could but would need to play well at the last Euro Tour event. In his form he could easily go to quarters or semis there, but it's still very risky as he could draw a top seed who plays even better.

[The Thorn]

Ratajski out FFS

[Rogg]

Oh Ratty!

Well the final Euro Tour is October 13-15, where he'll need money if he wants Ally Pally, and presumably the Lakeside draw is to be done (perhaps several times) before then.

Will he try to keep Auntie Sue hanging, or just pick Lakeside now?

Should just give in and choose Lakeside now IMO
Not ideal but can't risk missing out on both.
Even though you can't rule out another massive fuckup and the BDO not doing the draw in the next weeks.

Ratajski out FFS

Much tougher field than the masters. Wasn't going to have it so easy today.

Causing yet more amusement for Uncle Barry, no doubt. Mate.

Naturally, mate.

[The Thorn]

Alan Ljubic from Croatia qualifies for Ally Pally. Never heard of him but fair play and good luck.

How about the European Championship?

Doesn't count towards the one year pro tour list.

[Randall]

Looking at those numbers you wonder who beat the masters champ

The guy who lost in the final beat him 6-5

Kciuk is the masters champion then.

[The Thorn]

Here's the match Ratajski lost to Kciuk, decent numbers but Ratajski definitely playing below his standard last week.:

Won't let me post the pic directly but anyway

Not playing on the bdo toyboards today.

[Zeyes]

Seen Ljubic's name regularly in the Dartslive World events the last couple of years, and seems to be doing fairly well there...35th place with 4 of 6 events played last year, 10th place this season with 4/4 played so far. Not sure if he has any significant steel-tip background, no ranking position at all in the WDF in any case. (Actually it looks like he reached the semifinals at the Austrian Open three months ago, but they didn't give him his ranking points for it for some reason.)
