2024 PDC Affiliate Tours

[The Thorn]

There used to be a tour here. I remember Lerchbacher won it once, Nándor Bezzeg played in it too.

Yes, years ago Austria was still involved. Now they are shite. Up the rising darting nations!

[thegentle]

Sort it out, East Europe. What do their players do all year?

Tbf, they play regularly in Euro Tour qualifiers, I don't think they *need* their own tour

Possibly less entries on this tour now with an increase in costs

[Emulsfier]

105 quid a go for the euro quals. Should smash the entry numbers to bits.

[The Thorn]

Sad that entry fees will be going up. But respect to them and good to see the PDC acknowledging it. It's great for the game.

[oche balboa]

At the expense of less entries. Not many people are going to pay £105 to play in a euro tour qualifier

Labanauskas should clean up this now tbf

Something which I don't believe was posted is that regional tour winners in the Nordic/Baltic region, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Asia will go through automatically to the final stage of Q-School next year. If the tour winner declines, the invite goes to the runner-up, but won't go down any further if the runner-up declines too. Interesting, will save the players a few bob as they're not having to spend a week in MK/Kalkar, but likewise, sometimes it's good to get warmed up in stage 1

Shouldn't affect the top players as players who lose in the latter stages of ET qualifiers get some pocket money. Sounds like it was a PDC decision to get rid of free entry, if so it's a nice little carrot from the PDC NB

I think they will care most about the not having to travel early and so can save money, and maybe even more importantly time off work. Also, although you play into form, you are just as likely to get a bit of burn out if you play all the days, especially living out of a hotel. And of course if you are decent player you may qualify through on day 1 and then be sat around for a few days anyway.
The commentors thought that Spellman looked a little burnt out at teh Modus after a couple of weeks of constant playing

Thorn claimed to be Scottish. Said he'd love to meet up with other forum members too. Now claims he's Hungarian. Three cheers for Paula!

This is a step in the right direction I would personally up this further to invite the top 4 from each to give these regions even more to play for. If they are not gunna up the TC places by challenge tour would also like them to up that so that the top 32 (other the top 2 card winners) automatically are into the last 128. Make the first stage far harder to get through points wise and reward people who actually put in the effort into doing PDC/affiliate tours.
