Dissapointed only 2 bdo players

Liam Ó Raghallaigh @LrLiam
Should’ve had some wildcard entries. Just the same as any other tournament now. Could’ve had some great entries such as Martin Adams etc

[Randall]

Fuck off back to 2007 liam

[Tommo]

It's 2 too many, fuck 'em.

[Rogg]

Has this fetish for an actual darts company ever been explained? I know we've tried, god knows we've tried.

Looooool, on what basis could they include these BDO/WDF players? A practically obsolete ranking system? TV events that happened over a year prior to this year's Grand Slam? They were always going to include 2 women, and as for Warren, he flopped last year (wasn't he injured or something?), but is capable enough

[Safc]

So

1 spot - Warren
1 spot - Suzuki
1 spot - PDC Women's qualifier
8 - Floor Qualifiers
9 - Wright, Price, DVDB, Humphries, MVG, Aspinall, Wade, Anderson, Gawlas
4 - Searle, Ratajski, Joyce, White

That's 24

Very unlikely we will get 8 different players with what's left I would think. It could be a great line up of of jobbers this year with extra floor qualifier places on offer.

[cannibal]

Most excellent. I can live with 2 BDO players but relish the move to rethink the BDO invites. Fully confidant we wont be seeing much if anything fromthe BDO in the future in the GSOD.

[thegentle]

Is the fact they've given Suzuki an automatic invite a sign that she might not be able to make it for the Women's Series? Can she definitely make this? Am I overthinking things lol

I love this forums twitter account going around "BDO is Shite" etc.

its dead, you won the battle before you kill yourself with boredom

Warren is the last hurrah in the GSOD for the BDO, I dont think its the end of other players being involved in this

O.K. thanks.

[M H]

Can't see there being any BDO included in 2021 as there simply won't be any BDO

I've found you some people who really do need your encouragement to move on. Don't waste it on us. The word 'was' always gives them away...


Andy Gait @AndyGait
I'm not advocating just putting in anyone, but the very point of the event was that it was PDC v BDO.

Warren Allsworth @warrenallsworth
Would have been good to give a nod to the WDF. PDC probably didn’t have any choice this year but event does lose a lot of its appeal in my view. In the tournaments early years seeing the best of the BDO playing the best of the PDC was its major attraction

Andy Gait @AndyGait
It's a sad situation for darts as a sport. Maybe a mix of BDO/WDF event winners?

and Smith, so that's 25 spots currently allocated. Seems fairly likely we'll get another 7. When Duzza gets to the Premier League final, that'll be one.

About time the BDO places were reduced. They've contributed nothing to the event for quite a while now.

I still remember that floor qualifier they had in 2014(?) where Fordham and fucking Mark Oosterhuis qualified. Disastrous.
