Menzies, Hughes, Ratajski, Evetts, Cody Harris, loads of interesting names on the CT. It would really need an upgrade and a better planning. I'd take them over half of the jobbers on the main tour any day, who have now 30 PC events to play in. It's really harsh how 4 days at Q-School can fuck up or make your whole year.

Indeed an interesting looking last 8. Should compare favourably to the mushroom business happening elsewhere today.

When I find myself agreeing with with that, I think of Cadby and de Zwaan making such light work of it last year. Class shining through the carnage. I still agree with you though.

Hopefully the harshness trains the brain so that Hughes and Menzies etc. will be in a much improved frame of mind heading to Q-School the second time around.

Making the final appears to put Cody 2nd in the OoM. Tour card territory.

I defy anyone to look at that last 4 lineup and not be angry that the PDC insists on awarding only two cards through the tour...
