Challenge Tour needs more cards badly

Proof that most of the top 10 ended up winning a card through Q School this year
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

It needs more than 2 but I’d still give a large majority to Q School

I would give 10 at Q School

Winners of each day plus ranking winner

Nah like top 8 from challenge tour maybe, and then the rest Q School

It’s harder on non European players to commit to a year on the challenge tour considering the prize money. Where as if they win a card at q School its then a lot easier to make that decision to commit as they’re guaranteed 2 years on the tour if they win a card from only a week of play. I think that has to be taken into consideration.

Heta argued the same thing on twitter and I hadn’t considered it before he did

For many players surely a week at Q-School is a far more convenient entry point to the 128 than a full scale attack on the Challenge Tour. Especially if you live outside the UK.

The Challenge Tour is an inferior deal if you are Cadby, Veenstra, De Zwaan, Perez etc. when you can get it all done in one week in January.
