As it stands, he could yet be knocked out if someone below him wins the Masters. Unty and Robson are both safely through, don't care about the vast majority of BDO players, but I am happy Unty is there

BDO Grand Slam qualifiers confirmed.

Ratajski is fucked over twice. First he doesn't get his deserved place for winning the Masters. Second, he's also won an UK Open qualifier so should be in as an event winner, but some floor warrior will get his place instead. Poor guy can't even enter the qualifiers as he has no tour card.

Especially harsh when you consider that he played out of his skin and had to beat numerous top players to win that UK Open qualifier: http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventRes ... Averages=Y

He'll have to be content with a place in the record books for that as the last ever winner of a UK Open qualifier...

Lisa Ashton having a rant about not being in the Grand Slam. While I personally wouldn't mind seeing here there, this attitude stinks, why is she so entitled? If she was even close to the top 8 BDO men, she would instantly get selected.

I don't see why they excluded Ratajski because he switched. He won the World Masters as a non-PDC player. Surely he should have been given a spot as a result?

Would have been more value than fucking Big Jobbo.
2020 World Grand Prix Lucky Dip winner!
2x 2019 Q-School Lucky Dip winner!

Both as valuable as the Lakeside piss pot!

BDO were hardly going to invite a player who won their event then fucked off 2 days later to try and qualify for the PDC Worlds.

Think about it fellas ffs

Its hardly a surprise, the Pole hurt the BDO bad, to the point even the commentators at the weekend and Tommy Thompson have now all forgotten about it.

I didn't expect the BDO to invite him either. The blame lies with the PDC

Quite, they should dump one of the 8 qualifier spots and make an exception. Either that or grow a backbone with the spots they hand over to the other side and dictate how they should be used.

According to Jay Shaw on twitter (don't know him)

The BDO board, with the exception of the Chairman, are understood to have voted against Lisa Ashton receiving an invite to the Grand Slam.

Better still, fuck off the BDO. There's no value in this any more
When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life
