Bring back drinking alcohol on stage

Bring back the walk on girls

[vizIIsto]

No more fat bellies

No more fat bellies

That might reduce the field somewhat.

Make it harder to qualify for the world championships.

[ILAD]

Get rid of the chavs, Twits and criminals, allow who is left to smoke and get pissed on the stage.

I guess that rules DbG out.

[Randall]

Make it harder to qualify for the world championships.

Smaller field?

Smaller field?

Yeah and if you are a tour card holder who doesn't qualify through the OOM that is it. No entering european/ladies/cdc tournaments.

Ashton could certainly forget the ladies qualifier if I was in charge

[ILAD]

Not sure if it’s been said but change the rankings to points based, the money rankings is too skewed.

[Randall]

I might have mentioned it occasionally

Allow trainers to be worn without special permission. Make more floor events and TV events set play.

Bring back drinking alcohol on stage

Just bringing back squash, juice, milk and coca-cola would be a challenge at this point, let alone alcohol.

Not sure I agree with this one, saying tour card holders can't enter qualifiers would only dilute the field. I know they create far more interest than an equivalent man ever will, and I hope Sherrock does become a genuine star because that would be huge for the game, but it should happen organically rather than being gifted two spots

What i would do....Sure rip it to pieces if you like

I Would Scrap Q School, Sure I am in the minority with this and i still believe its a lottery. But I don't think 4 days of action is enough to be worthy of a card, I would like to see the Challenge Tour be expanded and the cards offered to the top 10 with others offered in Overseas players, Ladies Series (Top 2) & Maybe another couple for youth yours. Challenge Tour is open to everyone and with no Q School its the only way


TV Tournaments

1) World Championship (Nothing wrong with this in reality some overseas spots i would get rid of India for example and have more for the Pro Tour but its only minor changes. The question of it being "Harder" is a good call but you cant do that now 96 is enough and it should stay at that number its harder to qualify for the WMP

2) World Matchplay- As it is a flawless tournament IMO

3) World Grand Prix- Have a couple of Pro Tours before it to be double start.

4) UK Open- Would keep it is, The Balance is fine. Would like to see more "Amateur" players getting through rileys qualifiers but its a right tournament

5) World Series of Darts Qualifier

- Top 8 in World Series OOM
- 2 Pro tour qualifiers
- 2 From Baltic
- 2 from CDC
- 2 from EADC
- 2 From Asia
- 2 From Ocenia
- 4 not qualified from the list

This would be a better "World" status for the event.


6) European Championship- Fine as it is.

6a) Euro Tour events. Germany x2, Holland x2, Belgium, France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Portugal, 1x Nordic

7) World Series of Darts

Its to promote all countries but would try and go to China, Japan, USA more

8) World Cup of Darts

Make it Doubles only.

9) Players Championship

64 players is fine. A good tournament feauring the best on the Pro Tour

10) Premier League

I dont think you can change it, Anything else would be confusing but players who are "Relegated" are disqualified from playing in the competition next year.

11) The Masters

Would like to see this changed from 24 to 32 players in the OOM. 1 vs 32. Ensure more reward for being into the top 32


12) Grand Slam of Darts

Will put that in a different post zzzzzz


MAJOR DEBATE

Into 3 sections


Showcase- Premier League, World Series of Darts (Finals), Grand Slam of Darts
The PDC Grand Slam - Worlds, Matchplay, Grand Prix, UK Open
PDC Elite Series- European Championship, Players, World Cup of Darts, PDC Masters


Showcase- Is invited players which the above 3 would be. Worlds can do this BUT its the elite competition
Grand Slam- 4 oldest events this should be set in stone
Elite Series- Not Grand Slam worthy but exclusive
