The world championship is far to weighted in terms of money/ranking

Absolutely bang on. Take Chizzy for example, he had a bang average year has a good run at the worlds which gives him an inflated ranking in my opinion.
I think the two year money list could be reviewed tbf. I mean Rob Cross is currently the 4th ranked player in the world, yet there are several players below who are clearly playing better yet Cross has a PL place.

Isnt it 5 times the tariff of the next biggest event?
I understand they want to pay as much as they can but in doing so they need to move away from money based oom

You could solve the issue with simply correcting the WC's prize money in the rankings. Let's say only some percentage earned at the Worlds counts. I don't think there's anything wrong with the money based list apart from the WC issue.

The 2 year oom is another fair point, it helps the dull old out of form cunts stay up there. Again you could make a correction saying that only some percentage of the prize money counts from events that were more than a year ago.

I think both of these changes would lead to a fairer system. The PDC probably just doesn't think it's a big enough issue and/or they want to keep it as simple as possible. Overcomplication can be a problem too. Most of the casual fans can barely comprehend the rankings as it is.

Couldn't price effectively take 2 years off now and stay in the top 6?

Pretty much. He'd be about 4th or 5th on world champ money alone

There simply has to be something wrong with that.
Award the prize money but change the rankings to a weighted points system for me

As long as it doesn't benefit the floor warriors I wouldn't mind. But I don't think it's necessary either, the current system could work with a few tweaks

The majors would still carry a tariff way above the floor comps

The money doesnt matter, it's all about the trophies

[Randall]

I rather suspect they all like the money

[The Thorn]

The money doesnt matter, it's all about the trophies

And the averages on them. Or something.

The world's should always carry the most weight ranking wise. You dont get remembered for being a 3 time floor winner or a Shanghai master.

Could get into the record books if he keeps putting on weight

"How was Daniel Lambert fatter than me?"

[sennafan24]

Duzza in the top 10 has upset folk

HAHAHHAHAHHHAHA

Is Durrant in your Top 10? If not, are you able to explain why?

From TSOD:

Durrant 8th in the world is too low

[Randall]

Oche only says such things for effect
He can't be that stupid
Can he?

[Rogg]

I wasn't around but assume everyone moaned on and on about the change to the tie-break rule at the Worlds?

Cutting straight to a sudden death leg was actually a huge improvement and I hope they continue with it post-covid.

It was referenced but I don't think anyone got overly vexed
I don't really remember

[TheMalteseDart]

I prefer how it was before without the sudden death leg, but wouldn’t lose sleep either way
