I would pee everywhere if they apply your idea to the Grand Slam instead and kick out all the BDO players to implement it.
They aren't going to do that.....yet

Aspinall, Whitlock, Clemens and Kando fair enough, but I'd be feeling very hard done by if I were one of the other World Series players from this year

Who the fuck thought Whitlock and K Anderson deserve a place they have been rancid all year

For me should have been

Chisnall
Aspinall
Ratajski
Cullen
Durrant
Hughes
JDZ
de Sousa

Of all those, only Aspinall played in the World Series this year.

Whitlock did make a semi-final in one of the events, so he's more deserving of a place in the finals than the others on your list, although yes, he's been poor on TV and in the PCs this year.

I mean at least they're high enough on the World Series OoM so it's not come out nowhere. Literally no basis on merit for the Dutch lads or Chisnall, it really sounds like they just made their minds up at the weekend

KAndo and the three dutch have no business being invited. Asp and Clemens for sure deserve it and Chisnall and Whitlock i will grudgingly agree with.

Yeah but them players were not invited in the first place to play at any of the events Whitlock and Kando only get picked cause they have multiple events down under are people realy gonna say Whitlock and Kando deserve a place over multiple title winning players?

No doubt Glen would have been in had he got to the final on Saturday, like Chizzy did.

I don't get why they scrapped using the players from the WSoD Order of Merit. I know the whole thing's invitational but it just seems pointless to have it and then only take the top 8 from it.

Yeah, at the very least they should spread the World Series around a bit, I'd scrap the German one, have two in NA (US and Canada), two in Asia (probably would be Japan and China but HK/Macau or Philippines would be good too) and then two in Australasia. Eventually they'll come round to scrapping invites altogether, but I'm not sure how

I think that's where they got Whitlock, Kando, Aspinall and Clemens from tbf. Not enough anyway, Nico Kurz and Schindler beat Gando and MvG and get fuck all as reward

So going of your plan the invited players would be

Aspinall
Whitlock
Clemens
K Anderson
Robb

I see two possibilities for how the wildcards should have been.

Either get the best players in there who are also up and coming, preferably some youngsters. Then you have a lineup like Aspinall, JDZ, Chizzy, Duzza, De Sousa, Hughes, Dobey, Dimitri. That's how it was in the first few years I recall.

Or get the actual World Series players in there. So you'd have Aspinall, Clemens, Schindler, Whitlock, Heta, Harris, Baggish, Gates. Something like that, similar to last year.

This solution does neither really. Simply parachuting in Noppert and Wattimena who have done fuck all to merit it, just because the event is in Amsterdam, is pure wrong.
Spread positivity and love. BDO4LIFE

In that case, fair. But I agree with you regarding those players who beat PDC representatives and got nothing from it.

I agree with that bud what i don't agree with is Whitlock and Kando they have been shit all year and are only on the oom in the first place because there are multiple events down under for me Ratajski and Durrant are more deserving because they have performed all year
