Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
Back in the Days of 32 Men and 8 Ladies
it used to be
6 Mens, 2 Ladies - Saturday Afternoon/Night
6 Men, 2 Ladies - Sunday Afternoon/Night
4 Men - Monday Night
4 Men - Tuesday Night
4 Men - Wednesday Night
2 Men, 2 Ladies - Thursday Night
2 Men, 1 Ladies (Final) - Friday Night
2 Semis - Saturday Night
1 Final - Sunday Night
This should be the template for the WDF Worlds, Have a 1st Friday Night session and abolish the Afternoon weekday (You could make a case for Friday Afternoon to remain)
Sunday should have all 4 finals. But there is scope to get 10 extra (8 Ladies, 2 Boys) into that Schedule and it would work

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
That ain't going to happen, especially as they are selling tickets for all the midweek afternoons. Friday afternoon got 1000 people in the past (albeit cheaper tickets), I'm sure they think they could get more than they did this year.oche balboa wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 4:08 pm Back in the Days of 32 Men and 8 Ladies

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
I don't really see them cutting down the length of the tournament now. Even though it might look better on TV and quality wise. They probably need the sessions for sales.Addicks Fan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 4:13 pmThat ain't going to happen, especially as they are selling tickets for all the midweek afternoons.

Especially can't really see them cutting the player numbers on the Women's side, when they made some positive press coverage for increasing prize money and entries. Still think some of that was to please the players after the PDC women's tour started.

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
It's not the right thing to do. More players involved the standard is worse. 32 Men is the way to go to have a competitive competition. Last 32 this year was good onwards. The Last 48 was brutal bar 2-3 performances. Same with the ladies. Make it good for TV should be the answerAddicks Fan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 4:13 pmThat ain't going to happen, especially as they are selling tickets for all the midweek afternoons.

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
Don't think they'll ever really reduce player numbers now, even though logic probably dictates otherwise.
Don't think they want negative backlash, especially after just recently slashing the mens prize money.

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
it should be and i supported the increase to 40 in the BDO Days.
Players can bellyache but if they put in 75 averages then they are the problem

Re: 2024 WDF Calendar
I think the standard is only really a consideration if they want to win general viewers.

Mad with the boom in darts in Germany that it's virtually a desert for them.
