Don't really think it stands increasing.
Certainly anyone who won on the tour or made a major semi should be in, rather than the farce of the play offs.

So 16 players kick off in round two. Also there's more than enough jobbers already without adding four more

There is a point in changing the criteria somewhat but no way it should be anything else than 32 players. And the group stage format is unique about the Slam so wouldn't change that really. I think including semi finalists from majors and all the PC event winners is good.

For fuck sake, please no more BDO players. No problem with the lakeside winner, World youth champion and maybe 6 challenge tour players. For the love of God No more BDO players ahhhhhh!

Obviously it goes without saying that all TV finalists/floor winners should qualify. Challenge/Development/regional tour winners would be a good idea, definitely a lot of talent there, and the experience would do them the world of good. Definitely shouldn't expand the BDO contingent, 8 is arguably too much as it is, any more would just water it down. Have floor qualifiers as a last resort only to make up the numbers, however many qualifiers there would be. Would be difficult to sort out numbers though, I'd prefer 32 which would be hard to stick to, 48 is definitely too many, and anything inbetween would be awkward
