As for the GSOD, it just gets more awful every year doesn't it? The thought of Kleermaker and Mandigers being there is absolutely frightening. Heck, even Jobson did all right last year, it's really getting worse. I know what we all think of Mitchell but he's still one of the very few that could deliver something.
How frightened are you exactly?

Kleermaker has been superb all year, will it be enough to trouble the Pros? possibly not because he doesnt have TV experience

I haven't followed the BDO events this year really. So he could well be in great form. The concern is that I've never seen him do anything on TV.

Anyway, from last year, the 4 best players IMO, Durrant and McGeeney are gone, Mitchell doesn't look like qualifying and Unterbuchner is nowhere. The main problem is the players getting weaker and weaker every year. I really struggle to find even a couple who I'm really excited to see. I like Veenstra I guess. Williams is probably one of the decent ones too but his Q-School failure and the awkward excuses about not even wanting a tour card makes me give zero fucks about him. Waites has been mediocre for years.

I'm assuming the criteria will be

BDO World Trophy Winner
World Masters Winner
Mikuru Suzuki
Top 5 not qualified

Plenty of scope for Unterbuchner & Mitchell to get it. Harms got out of the group last year, He is playing better this year (At least on the floor events) Veenstra can go one of two ways.

Perhaps they wont trouble the top 8, Only Durrant, Mitchell & Adams have since the rules change in 2015 but they have a great chance against anyone else.

The Thorn wrote: Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:18 pm He was always close though. I know it means fuck all but recent BDO records at the Slam suggest that even 2-3 players getting out the group would be a decent showing. If I had to choose a player with the best hope of getting out the groups, Mitchell would be a very strong contender.
In the 9 games he played, he averaged over 95 only 3 times. And he even managed to lose one of those games.

The rest of his performances ranged from mediocre to shite. If he's the best the BDO has to offer, then fucking hell things are grim.
And getting grimmer by the year mate

If I may summarize and bring together some of the discussion. Seems to me those who defend BDO participation in GSOD are saying there is a shiny turd or two in a pile of turds. Lets remember shiny or not still turds.

What a dreadful collection of no hopers. You know it's bad when Harms is number 1 in anything other than shitting himself.

I'll give the BDO credit for getting this announced well in advance.

But we shall see how this does at the gate.

Okay, who's putting up the prize fund?

And who's going to buy tickets? The field is getting weaker, and the new venue is nowhere near Lakeside that was iconic. Sure, eventually they have to move, but I've no idea how the BDO survives this in its current state.

How do they expect to fill a 2800 arena when they couldn't fill Lakeside. This is gonna cost real money
