Let the outrage commence!

One thing I don't really agree with is listing two established tour card holders in with the international bunch, I think they should be among the PDC representatives and give more chances to the local lads, otherwise, I don't really care who gets picked lol

[Greipel]

They should give a wildcard for Victor Monaghan at the NZ event.

Would they have been picked if they weren't from OZ

If yes, they are PDC. If not, they are international

The whole point of the World Series is to grow the game, having a past peak but still very decent Whitlock and a player in Heta who has won this event before instead of players like Noppert and Aspinall (fantastic though they are, they aren't stars and I doubt they add much in terms of viewing figures) would do more for that

Because they are from OZ but if this was the Bahrain event the same wouldnt be true

Whitlock is a much bigger name in darts even now than anyone else from anywhere that they play World Series events tbf, I'd rather they counted him as one of their 'stars' and give local players (although I suppose the PDC might have an 'understanding' with players like Noppert that they get a spot in compensation for not getting a Prem spot)

Probably one of the better places for him. "Fast-paced Australian darts player" isn't a commonly-heard expression.

Neither Whitlock nor Heta would be amongst the 8 PDC representatives in any World Series event outwith Australasia, so them being included as local players is a no brainer for me.

Did anyone note the lack of Cadby in the Aussie one?

Not really

[The Ginge Reaper]

Bit difficult to shoehorn him in really. Heta and Whitlock are no brainers and then you have the qualifiers.

They could invite anyone. No difference if they have 3 or 4 open qualifying spots. There would be big interest in Cadby

Not sure if he'll be able to play the qualifiers, I hope so. But seems like someone having a tour card should be an auto include from the region if only 3 players have a card

They invited Mathers as a TC Holder to all 3 events last year.

Very odd that Cadby is not there. I wonder if he's even in Australia now?
