[sennafan24]

I hope the players ranked 28-31 get demoted soon.

How is Big Hendo in the top 32?

[Chizzyfan]

How is Big Hendo in the top 32?

You probably won't believe this Senna, but he has won enough money to get there! Shhhh, it's a secret to everybody.

[Rogg]

look at Taylor's projected ranking after the world championship. 9th he's got a Matchplay title and World Champs runner-up spot to defend this season, that's why.

[sennafan24]

How is Big Hendo in the top 32?

You probably won't believe this Senna, but he has won enough money to get there! Shhhh, it's a secret to everybody.

I've seen him play on TV perhaps 6 or 7 times. The only notable game I've seen him in was when he beat Chizzy at the Worlds. I presume he plays better off-TV.

It's the same with Gilding. Other than his run in the UK Open last year, I've not seen him do much on TV.

[Justin Credible]

they are mostly in there for what they did last year,

[Chizzyfan]

I would love a one-year system. It may not be feasible at this point, though. If all qualification was based on one year, Smith and Thornton would be way down the list surely.

[Justin Credible]

thats why the one year pro tour oom has really shifted things and why euro events are better

less of the wayne jones and shit unless its through the qualifiers, even taylor has to now qualify...when he is able that is

[The Ginge Reaper]

Well YTD, MVG is top with £215k

Chisnall is 7th (£36,000)
Smith is 16th (£26,000)
Thornton is 37th (£11,250)

Long way to go in the year though.

[The Ginge Reaper]

I went onto Darts Database and did a filter on ranking money won between the 7th Jan (so it excludes the Ally Pally) and today.

That list above is Pro Tour winnings in the last 12 months.

[Justin Credible]

ah right , but a one year list should always be a year in term of then to now not a list that starts specifically on jan 1st.

[Chizzyfan]

It certainly would shake the jobbers who had a lucky day out. Unfortunately, until Taylor retires I cannot see it happening.

[The Ginge Reaper]

ah right , but a one year list should always be a year in term of then to now not a list that starts specifically on jan 1st.

In terms of qualifying for the Worlds, it is effectively a YTD list because its the last event of the year

But yes you are right with that statement in general. They used to do YTD for the non-seeded positions at the Matchplay and Grand Prix which was stupid when you look back at it. A good run in March got you into more events than a good run in October, should never have been like that.

I remember that. It does seem mental looking back. It was probably done that way to incentivise players to switch, back when they cared about that. So that anybody switching after Lakeside would happily start at zero on the floor list like everyone else.

[Justin Credible]

then rogg, that was a time when lloyd was world #1 simply based on events entered

Have you ever read 'Planet Darts'? A book about Colin Lloyd's year on the PDC circuit in 2002 or thereabouts. An interesting read if anyone wants to find it, and has good nostalgia value all these years later.

[Justin Credible]

never read it, not sure its my thing

[Randall]

When 2002 is associated with the word nostalgia I feel very old.
