Re: PDC Japan Tour is here
So this means Asada can still play or was the lineup shite?
Is this an existing tour being rebranded or a brand new PDC thing?
Anyway good times for darts!

Re: PDC Japan Tour is here
This tour seemed to just turn up overnight. Did they actually announce it previously on the website?

Re: PDC Japan Tour is here
Yeah, Japan seems a well looked after market. Nothing wrong with making it bigger though.
Surprised they didn't go back with a World Series event to Japan. Obviously the Bahrain cash is too good to turn down!

This
Japan also 100% should have a World Series event again. Of if they are serious about making the game global then the Asia pacific region wether that be Aus or elsewhere should get a ranked major event.
Something along the lines of 24 player event
top 8 in OOM (seeded to last 16)
Top 5 from pro tour OOM
Top 4 each from Asian tour and DPA OOMs
Winner of China Premier league
Highest ranked on DPNZ
Highest ranked on Japan tour
Should also do something similar in North America with another 24 player ranked major actually reward these well run regional tours and make ranking events more global.
Team Corvid 2024 consists of the following 12 players.
Clayton, Cross, Gilding, De Sousa, Dolan, Evans, Campbell, Krcmar, Lauby, Puha, Szaganski and Turetta

Re: PDC Japan Tour is here
The 26th April article on the PDC site was the first I knew about it, then the tour started on the 27th. Thankfully the players knew about it lolol.IndyCarDavid wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:40 am This tour seemed to just turn up overnight. Did they actually announce it previously on the website?

Re: PDC Japan Tour is here
Populations:
Philiipines 110.6M 1.5% growth
Japan 124.4M -0.3% growth
Japan's population is aging and declining, although the Japanese government has quietly increased immigration. (The main source of immigrants is now Vietnam - 99.4M 0.7% growth.)
But anyway, I don't think it's a big deal. If anything, it's a recognition by the PDC that in players won't travel that much. It replaces the old qualifier with a 3-weekend "Tour".
Maybe that'll be a nudge to some more players to try to get support to play the Asian Tour.
The Asian Tour averages suggest that Japan has plenty of depth.
