2020 PDC World Cup of Darts

[Emulsfier]

With this ment to be happening in a month, theres still a whole bunch of stuff to sort out.

With the Rodent losing, the top seven seeds in order of combined OoM are:



1. England - Michael Smith and Rob Cross
2. Scotland - Peter Wright and Gary Anderson (will he fly over?)
3. Wales - Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton
4. Netherlands - Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert
5. Northern Ireland - Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan
6. Belgium - Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts
7. Germany - Max Hopp and Gabriel Clemens



8th seed is a bit of a conundrum, as nominally its Australia with Whitlock and KAndo, but not a hope in hell KAndo turns up. If KAndo is replaces by Heta, then both RepOfIreland and Austria have a better combined OoM, Ireland first, so who will get seeded? Do you care? Prob not.

Regardless the other countries with two in the OoM are:



Australia - Simon Whitlock and Kyle Anderson/Damon Heta
Rep of Ireland - Willie O'Connor and Steve Lennon
Austria - Mensur Suljovic and Rowby-John Rodriguez
Poland - Krzysztof Ratajski and Krzysztof Kciuk
Spain - Cristo Reyes (skipped autumn series) and Toni Alcinas



Those confirmed to also be playing are



Brazil - Diogo Portela and Bruno Rangel
Canada - Jeff Smith and Matt Campbell
China - Xicheng Han and Di Zhuang
Czech Republic - Karel Sedláček and Adam Gawlas
Gibraltar - Justin Hewitt and Craig Galliano
Italy - October 11th Qualifier
New Zealand - Cody Harris and Haupai Puha
Russia - Boris Koltsov and Aleksei Kadochnikov
United States - Darin Young and Chuck Puleo



Which puts us at 21/32 teams.

Countries with at least some tour card representation are:



South Africa - Devon Petersen
Lithuania - Darius Labanauskas
Latvia - Madars Razma
Portugal - Jose de Sousa
Sweden - Daniel Laarson
Finland - Marco Kantele
Hong Kong (lol country) - Kai Fan Leung
Croatia - Boris Krcmar


Which still leaves us with 29/32 teams, assuming everyone plays.

Who will make up the remaining teams? Will they cut it to 24 and give the seeds a bye? Did you really read all that without falling asleep?

Great tournament always with a few surprises

[Malanax]

the two Gibraltar lads are both just 18, first time in 9 years dyson parody hasn't qualified. nice to see young lads giving it a go.

[Jimmi]

England are fucked.
But at least Cuntimena isn't playing.

[Randall]

England have no chance with that pair

[Rogg]

Most teams have a player and every team has significant weakness. Great fun.

But yes, we need to break up Scotland. Anderson + Wright is excessive, as were Taylor+thingy and MVG+RVB.

[vizIIsto]

Out of those first 7 teams probably Belgium looks the strongest considering they are known to perform well in this tournament.

[Rogg]

I'd love if Belgium won.

[Jimmi]

I'd love if Belgium won.

Pre -1 from SAFC.
