Brendan Dolan draws himself into the periphery of the World Grand Prix race with seven events to go before the cut-off, as Vincent van der Voort continues to hold off Gabriel Clemens for the final spot. Minimum money added to ETs 10-11-12 qualifiers (not seeds).

Huge day for Lil' Webby, this will be the last time either him or Bunting will be in Europe before the cut-off. Beat JdZ and he's within £1000 of Bunting, lose and he'll be relying on snookers with only 2 PC weekends to go

[thegentle]

Looks like something around £40k will be enough to make it, think Max Hopp and above look pretty safe

[thegentle]

Focus on Clemens and O'Connor next weekend. King living surprisingly dangerously, but I'm sure he'll have a good run on the Players Championship and sneak in for the 452nd time

Vincent van der Voort moves closer to a return to the World Grand Prix, as Mervyn King drops to the final provisional spot with just six events left before the cut-off for Dublin.

[Rogg]

Thanks to Burton. Only five events to go.

Tables... finally! Joe Cullen moves into the main Order of Merit qualifiers, as Gabriel Clemens and Willie O'Connor close in on Mervyn King for the final ProTour spot in the World Grand Prix. 13 spots remain mathematically open with 5 events to go, but realistically only 6 are.

This could well be the week for Dimitri, come on lad, hold it together

[Rogg]

Yes, come on Dimitri!

[thegentle]

Hadn't even thought about it because I assign Burton to do my thinking for me, but that's José right bang in the mix, think he's two spaces and £3k away. If only he'd qualified for more Euro Tour events, but the silver lining is that even if he doesn't make it, he's now very well placed for Blackpool next year

[thegentle]

King hobbling away to qualification, Dimitri fluking it, de Sousa Lording his way into contention

[oche balboa]

William O'Connor has the best chance

[Rogg]

William O'Connor has the best chance

Hello oche.

[Emulsfier]

Now unless KAndo really goes mad I expect it is King v Clemens and thats it.

[Rogg]

A very interesting next weekend coming up. Let's not underestimate Dimitri's ability to cultivate highly unlikely disaster...

Race tables are still here, as are the 2020 Matchplay tables now! I've got a headache : https://www.dartsrankings.com/wgp

U just know West is going to win and get to Dublin or get to final then have 2 runs at PCs next week to get there to be honest would be funny if he knocked van den overrated out

That did it

[Emulsfier]

So with West managing to lose to North, the list of players with a "reasonable" chance of clawing into the GP are in descending order:

Clemens, Our lord and saviour, O'Connor, KAndo, Pipe and Webster, all within 2-6k of King.

I expect it will come down to the wire come PC 26, but that in the end none will overhaul him.

Kando has not entered PC 25-26 apparently
