2020 PDC Development Tour + World Youth Championship

[SuperSwede]

Well done Keane Barry. It was he who lost the card final to Hinges, yar?

Yep, if I remember right he was in amazing form the whole day but had to wait ages to play the final and his performance dropped off a cliff for it.

Smashed Bennett in January too at the O2 for the other Youth Championship.

Barry banks that £50, so I think he's guaranteed the place at the Worlds now, not sure who'd be ahead on countback

[Rogg]

Thanks StupidSwede, or whatever the cool people are calling you this week. One event to go then...

Development Tour 2020 (9/10)

DT9 Keane Barry

Straight after winning his first, Barry claims his 2nd DT title. He has secured his Tour Card for 2021/22 and is just £50 away from the World Championship.
Meikle has qualified for the Worlds, Van Peer on the 2nd TC spot

[Potter's Lake]

Killer in the running for that coveted 69th spot.

[thegentle]

Evetts and Mol out, so van Peer is back on the tour, only UK Open spots to play for I believe. Congrats Berry, I don't think there's a single person in the sport who isn't happy to see you do well

[thegentle]

Of course, if Meikle has a good end to the ProTour season and forces his way into the Worlds that way, BvP will be at the Worlds

[thegentle]

Lee Lok Yin on the charge, reaches the final on his first weekend on the Dev Tour, such a shame the Asian Tour got cancelled as surely he'd have thrived there. Win against Rydz in the final and he's in the UK Open next year, lose and there's a slim chance depending on who gets tour cards next year

[thegentle]

SAFC in full Hong Kong mode I presume then?

Rydz sees out this year's truncated Development Tour with a title, shame

[thegentle]

1. Ryan Meikle (second year tour card 2021)
2. Keane Barry (new tour card holder 2021)
3. Berry van Peer (new tour card holder 2021)
4. Damian Mol
5. Evetts (probable tour card holder after the Worlds)
6. Kevin Doets
7. Martin Schindler (possible tour card holder after the Worlds)
8. Callan Rydz (second year tour card 2021)
9. Wessel Nijman (facing a possible lengthy ban)
10. Niels Zonneveld (probably loses his tour card after the Worlds)
11. Dom Taylor
12. Joe Davis
13. Keelan Kay
14. Brian Raman
15. Rhys Griffith
16. Sebastian Bialecki
17. Nico Kurz
18. Lee Lok Yin
19. Owen Roelofs
20. Geert Nentjes (probably loses his tour card after the Worlds)

Top 8 players without a tour card for 2021 qualify for the UK Open, will be fun seeing who takes those places once we're done sorting out who gets tour cards next year...somehow

+1

Good old Berry.

[Jimmi]

+2 for Berry.

[SuperSwede]

Nice one Rydz, I have no opinion on him though clearly talented but just the more relevant he becomes the better because I love how much Safc hates him haha

[Safc]

Nice one Rydz, I have no opinion on him though clearly talented but just the more relevant he becomes the better because I love how much Safc hates him haha

And like I say anyone who offers a bloke in his 80s who wouldn't say boo to a goose out for a fight is a mongol

[Fiss Plaps]

Barry & Berry on Tour. Not bad. Not bad at all.

A wide open field, definitely more open than in previous years imo, most of those top seeds are not in good form. I'll go with Barry to win, but there's a real chance that for once, someone will win this who isn't already qualified for the Worlds
