PDC and WDF can pick 64 from each code and mix it between men and women.
With it being an open draw, we could see a final between
Paula Jacklin v Ross Mcnoloyalty 🙂
Why not just have the top 128 in the PDC, an open draw, and a best of 3 legs format?

There would be little need to include the WDF.

I wouldn’t have a issue with that. An open draw could lead to the

The Olympics thread got me thinking, Covid-aside there haven't been any significant format amendments for majors since the Grand Slam became ranked.

Although a lot of them are going great as always, Matchplay, Grand Prix, Worlds, there are a few changes I think could freshen up the Calendar a bit if the PDC wanted to shake things up....


1. Make the World Cup every two years in odd numbered years.

2. Starting 2022, a new tv event (played every two years in the World Cup spot) with one of the two following formats...


2A. A new pairs event where ranks 1-32 (captains) are drawn with a team mate (shite) with one of the next best 32 on the ProTour OOM.

-First Round- First to 6 legs. Shite vs Shite play first to 3 then captains take over the match until one gets to 6. The captains rely on their teammate to get the best head start.

-Last 32 and Last 16- First to 8 legs (4 switch) and first to 10 (5 switch).

-Quarters, Semis and Finals are solely doubles format. First to 3, 4 and 5 sets respectively.



2B. News of the World reboot with all 128 tour card holders. Anyone who doesn't play is replaced by a CT player.

Top 32 seeded, everyone enters in Round 1. First to 2 legs.


For me i would have

1) World Series of Darts Finals to have the best from all the Tours within the PDC with the top 8 of the OOM
2) Euro Tour could expand to 64
3) More Challenge Tours
4) Keep the Series Pro Tour format
5) Keep 2-4 places available for WDF, Modus, MAD players for the GSOD
6) World Cup to scrap the singles

I would like to see a "Once in a lifetime" World Competition. With Qualifying systems for most countries (Like the NOTW)

- Local Knockout
- Regional Knockout
- National Knockout
- World Finalists (64 players)

PDC would have to run it mind but it would be best of 7 format all the way through

Keep the World Cup every year, after all the PDC do want to see these players from across the world compete regularly, but make it doubles only. Will never happen, they'd be scared shitless one of their golden geese will get knocked out early
+1 to everything here

World Cup suits every year, it's basically an all-encompassing World Series event. I enjoy it but it's not an event where bothering about protecting prestige is relevant.

What exactly is wrong with that. Historically the BDO had 8 players. Last time it was only 2 Oche is saying 2-4

Why not have the winner of the world senior event be given a grand slam spot? Assuming it’s Phil that wins it, he could still probably do okay in the GSOD.

It's an exhibition which has nothing to do with the PDC or the WDF. Shouldn't have a GS spot. If Taylor wanted to come back he could get a pass to every non ranked exbo

So this would be only once, what do you suggest for every other year?

Just an idea for changes to the PDC. Let’s assume for one minute the PDC went with this, it would probably create more interest than say some player ranked 70 something winning a grand slam spot.
