Walters and Edgar would be decent additions. Not much else to get excited about.

Am I right that this is still based on 2 years, so the people losing tour cards would have a lot to make up for?

At the WDF General Meeting in September 2023, it was agreed with the WDF Member Countries that the WDF Main Ranking Tables will carry the best fifteen achievements by Men and Women players across all WDF Ranked Tournaments for the 2023/24 season, (increased from ten).

From 2025, the system will return to one-year main and regional ranking tables carrying the best ten achievements on the Main Tables and the best eight achievements on the Regional Tables.

So for 2024 still 2 years and more results will count, therefore even harder for people who missed a year

They are protecting players who are playing the system and want players to do the tour. There are more events in 2024 then 2023 anyway.

Not complaining, it's totally fair. Just pointing out this likely means the standard for the 2024 tournament is unlikely to increase, and could even decrease depending who wins cards at Q-School.

Agreed.

It depends on how many they offer via a qualifier

And regional is 10
