2025 UK Open Watch 👀

Post by Rogg » Tue Mar 19, 2024 10:31 am

Well... if that memo thing is to be believed, the UK Open is going global.

It listed Sunday 2nd June for a North/Central America qualifier in New York, bundled into the World Series weekend.

That is only about 10 weeks away. So if that is happening we will know soon!

How would you make up a 160-player field from scratch? That is 128 tour card holders + 32 others.

Uncle Barr milking anything he can

UK Open was fine the old way

Have qualifiers for it so players have to work for their seeding

I want the qualifiers to stay how they are now, it would be a shame to lose them. I’m open to expanding to international qualifiers as well, but as an addition to the field rather than a replacement

UK Open should be what it is but ADC run the qualifiers

World Series of Darts should have international qualifier's

The old format was carnage and there was always 1 or 2 notable Tour card holders not even making the cut when now everyone on tour is invited.

What about capped at 128 tour card holders and another 128 from the CT- 256 at the qualifiers?

Make the Masters the "reward for all Tour card holders" and delay it until as soon as the PL ends

32 players now at the WSOD finals

- Top 8 WS OOM
- Next Best 4 on the Main OOM
- Top ranked tour card holder from each country in the world
- TC Qualifier for the rest of spots

How does that sound?

I don't think some of the places on that list were actually real.

Hopefully wadey doesn't draw old looking young littler early this time, probably would have won it otherwise

Keir will show up no doubt. He's a criminal alkie who once broke COVID rules just so he could fuel his addiction and sink a huge pint.

Doesn't look like it. The first Qualifier was meant to be at the New York World Series event..

Honestly I understand the concern over Riley’s but yet again they hosted this year and a good bunch of players qualified, the system still works albeit not ideal. I’d be open to international qualifiers if you increased the field.

Though tbh the financial rewards in the early rounds of the UK Open are so small that I can’t see it being worth it for anyone international
