In my view the European Championship is no longer a major event.

Not a good change just 10 spots from qualifiers also doesn’t help new TC holders in terms of qualifying for tv events. Protecting the top 16 even further is not a good move.

Also assuming it moves down OOM should somebody decide not to play from top 16? Surely this will just make it even less likely the top players will bother with many PC events now. They only really need it for PC finals qualification nowadays.
Team Corvid 2024 consists of the following 12 players.

Clayton, Cross, Gilding, De Sousa, Dolan, Evans, Campbell, Krcmar, Lauby, Puha, Szaganski and Turetta

Each Euro Tour has become like a mini World Championship, interesting. It says the 16 top players on the ProTour get seeded to round 2 and will need to win a game to get the money on their OoM totals, but nothing about the other automatic qualifiers, I take that to assume that anyone else who automatically qualifies will get the money on their OoM totals?
I hope it was just an omission in the wording. Last year the 2 invited Home Nation players didn't earn ranking money if they lost in the 1st round. So any player, whether a seed or not who didn't go through a qualifier had to win a game to earn ranking money.

No omission there. This is what they want. It only applies to you if you are a seed. This was already the case for the seeds last year.

The useless cunts getting in through the main OoM will get their money.

Fuck this.

1. How can you "hear" my thoughts on a forum?

2. 5 or 6 oddballs on Darts Twitter does not represent "everyone".

3. My thoughts are similar to Gentle's.

I don't think it's the new tour card holders who are most fucked over by this, because it's arguably easier for them to qualify, instead of only 16 of the top players not being in those qualifiers, there are 32. There will be 2 more tour card holders in each event now, it's the associate members, whose 2 spots have been removed, who have been fucked over most IMO

1. It's an expression.

2. It's not 5 or 6 people. Loads commenting and the reaction is 98% negative.

3. Thanks.
