Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
Cross is not one of the players that you would pick to win any of the majors atm...
Whereas Noppie, Cullen, Dimi, Asp, Dirk and Humphries look more likely yet are all below him in the rankings...
Cross looks more like a player just inside the top 16, rather than a player ranked 8th

Cross is one of those, much like wade, who will be bang out of form for ages and then reach a major semi/final and hang around the top 10 for another 2 years.

Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
Cross is a multiple time proven winner though. People have written him off before and he delivered again and again. Still in the top 10 of yearly averagestungsten tossers wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 1:59 pm Cross is not one of the players that you would pick to win any of the majors atm...

If he is a proven winner and he goes deep in the majors next year, he will stay in the top 10, but I think he may drop out of the top 10

Dross is always on the brink of a big rankings fall right up until he sorts it. Still yet to really happen.

Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
Now it's ranked, it should be for players within the PDC ranking system only, so it's a correct decision

In 07 they had arguably the 2nd best player in the world at the time
Now they don't have 1 top 100

Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
Whats that anyway? Lots of WDF players do Challenge Tour tooTheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 7:19 pm Now it's ranked, it should be for players within the PDC ranking system only, so it's a correct decision
Even then what if they give the WDF 1 or 2 spots. Still 30 or 31 remain for PDC. Does it make any difference?
Been hearing this argument for a whie and never understood it. Seems like more of a moral stance than being based on facts. We are obviously not talking about 8 spots there, only 1 for world champ and maybe 1 more for world master

Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
Because it potentially takes away valuable prize money for players within their own system. Prize money said players could use to qualify for future PDC events.The Thorn wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 7:27 pmWhats that anyway?

If the PDC rewarded someone like Neil Duff with a GSOD spot, not only would he contribute feck all to the tournament, but it would take away prize money that may help someone to move up the ladder in the PDC.

Re: 2022 Grand Slam Race
If you're doing the challenge tour your part of the PDC ranking system, and funnily enough there's a spot for the challenge tour winner. So WDF players can qualify for the slam that wayThe Thorn wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 7:27 pmWhats that anyway?

The floor qualifiers create more opportunities for tour card holders, even if I disagreed with the amount they have handed out over the years.
The CT and DT spots add more value to the PDC's alternative tours.
Again, why should the PDC offer the WDF players a wildcard at the expense of their own tourcard holders or alternative tours? It made a bit of sense a decade ago when there were still some BDO players that were world class, and even 5 years ago when Duzza was in the BDO. Those players added something to the event. But now? It makes little sense at all.
