Moebius strip?

Moebius strip?

A most fascinating google. Soak it in the BDO's speciality fluid and it's not a long way off.

[Rogg]

Sort of placeholder for the entry list for Euro Q-School, but the given link is not yet live: https://www.pdpa.co.uk/events/european-q-school/

Post it if you ever find it. Only 23 days to go. Bloody hell.

[Rogg]

Oh, one player not mentioned so far: Labanauskas. Will need to go very deep at Ally Pally to avoid QS.

Darius confirms he'll be at Q-School. Good stuff.

“I love the atmosphere there. The Euro Tour has provided loads of great memories this year, putting some good wins under my belt and getting used to PDC competition. I feel like playing in the Euro Tour was very important for me in order to prepare for my debut at the Worlds as now I know for sure that I can compete with everyone out there.”

“I am going to Q-School this year. I’ve already played a lot less BDO events this year, focusing mostly on the PDCNB events. Hopefully I will be able to secure a Tour Card this January. Even if I don’t I will most likely still be looking to play as many PDC tournaments as I can.”

Q-School also for Koltsov and possibly Asada for the first time. Nice interviews with both:

Good news, to be expected really, but the Euro Q-School did need beefing up. Which one will Asada do I wonder

[Rogg]

Which one will Asada do I wonder

Jeff Smith chooses Euro. Portela UK. Asada has not actually confirmed that he's doing it, anyway:

”I would definitely like to challenge Q school, but at the moment I lack offers. I want to take on the challenge, but the time has yet to be determined. I may be challenging in 2019 already, but nothing is decided yet. I prepare to challenge it at any time though.”

Interview with Karolina Podgórska, Ratajski's missus, polish women champion in steel and soft
https://www.darter180.com/Awans-do-Mist ... -Podgorska
Don't expect you to know polish but she says that she hopes polish players will do well and many good players are going to Q-school...
maybe bullshit maybe not, time will tell

[Rogg]

Interview with Jeff Smith. Confirms Q-School in January and chats about it. What do you mean he's hideously deluded?

“Lakeside was a great opportunity for me. I showed myself as a good player, I made a lot of fans and a lot of great friends. The previous year I got a lot of confidence by reaching the semi-finals. It showed I could really make it at the top of the game.“
...

Jeff Smith made his debut at the Q-School early this year. Unfortunately for him this didn’t run as desired. “I played great in some matches, but I wasn’t constant enough. To beat so many participants at this level, you have to be almost flawless and have luck with the draw. Unfortunately I wasn’t good enough about these four days to grab a tourcard.”

“Next year I will be participating in Q-School again. Everything for me depends on Q-School, if I don’t grab a tourcard, then I’ll probably play the CDC tour”, says ‘The Silencer’.

I suppose it would be asking a lot to come over and do the Challenge Tour if he doesn't get a tour card. The CDC circuit could be interesting next year if him and Part are gonna be there

[sennafan24]

Taken from TSOD:

[Rogg]

Geert!!

[The Thorn]

Thought he was dead tbh. Anyway if he can get a card I'd actually fancy him to do well on the tour

[The Ginge Reaper]

He shouldnt have any money issues funding himself on the tour, doesnt he still have all that money he won for getting that huge average at the Slam?

Oh....

[Rogg]

Finally it's Q-School for van Tergouw, apparently.

Labanauskas and De Vos also confirming this week, Euro School getting a lot more interesting!

[Randall]

More fish in the lake the better

[sennafan24]

More bodies in the lake the better

Leave Lakeside alone.

[Randall]

More bodies in the lake the better

Leave Lakeshite alone.

Happily.

you would think that he (Asada) would enter the european q-school.
reason being that if he fails to get a card, he could still fly over
and enter the non-uk ET qualifiers.
often 2 of them are held before one of them takes place that same weekend,
saving on the number of flights he would have to make.

if he entered the UK q-school and failed to get a card, he would have to participate in the challenge
tour and get ranked high enough to even be able to enter the UK ET qualifiers,
which is kind of only worth it if he moves to the UK.

I believe this is how the ET events work.

[Zeyes]

They didn't apply the CT ranking restrictions to non-European players this year, only to Brits - Cody Harris was playing ET quals in the UK even when he was outside the top 32.
