Level with Deano Reynolds who got to the Last 16 of the World Pro. Not too shabby.

The worse bit is that he was there at the weekend lol. He's a weird one, he's actually done alright elsewhere this season but just hasn't got the results on the Challenge Tour. It's so cutthroat these days that even players like him could end absolute also-rans come the end of the season

This is old ground and tedious ground but my. Tour cards for more of the leaders here would be welcome. The above is as close as you can get to a single document that lists the willing and the able. Totals don't even roll on. All back to zero.
Two tour cards was probably enough a few years ago, but it's absolutely mental how much depth there now. If the exploits of Ratajski, Hughes and Evetts in the past two years won't convince Barry to offer more TCs, I don't know what will

Challenge Tour is good but could be better with more events & a streamed players championship 916 players) at the end of the season (Winner gets Tour card?) This would mean more tour cards offered then the usual 2 they could expand to 5. Top 4 and Players championship winner.

Not winning a tour card isnt the end of the world for any player and this must be stressed to everyone. It's a lottery (Bradders....picture please!!) I would urge more BDO players after the 02 to enter even if they not interested in getting a tour card. to get access to Challenge Tour, Possible Euro/Pro Tours whilst playing in the BDO & qualifying for TV events

Ochepedia most recent tweet:
For those considering playing the Challenge Tour:

The overall average in the first two rounds is generally in the range of 79-80. 64% of legs are won in 18 darts or fewer. One might consider this the baseline performance standard required in order to advance to the money rounds.

Could they look at a £ cut off point as opposed to x number of cards? Say anyone earning £5k on the CT gets a tour card. If you pass that mark you've shown a level of performance and consistency in general that you probably deserve a shot at it.
