Toylo & Azemoto secure Ally Pally debuts alongside Ilagan & Nebrida

So if Asian Championship finalist/s has already qualified for the Worlds, the spot/s will go the semi/quarter-finalist/s in OoM order.

The third staging of the PDC Asian Championship will take place in Manila from October 17-20, as the continent’s top stars compete in the US$100,000 event.

The PDC Asian Championship winner and runner-up will qualify for the World Darts Championship, but if either or both players have already qualified from the PDC Asian Tour Order of Merit then the place(s) would be passed to the next-best-placed non-qualified player from the PDC Asian Championship (split by PDC Asian Tour OOM if required using standard PDC countback rules).

That’s rubbish

Agreed, pure gibberish

If any Asia Tour 4 do well in the Championship, then just go go down the OOM as Thorn says

Common sense

Brenda won't be pleased..

History-maker Fallon Sherrock will compete at her fifth PDC World Darts Championship in December after qualifying from the Women's Series Order of Merit.

Nitin Kumar has won the first of three events in the Indian Qualifier for the 2025 PDC World Championship. Kumar defeated Sangam Kumar Roy 5-0 in the final with an average of 91.65!

Despite a career-best TV showing, Pietreczko only just holding on to the 32nd seed at the moment, if Woodhouse reaches the final or Edhouse or Wattimena win the event, they overtake him (so only Noppert beating Edhouse keeps Pikachu in the top 32 for now)

Being the 32nd seed isn't a good thing at the worlds as you play #1 in the 3rd round barring a huge upset

Not that Pikacunt would win his first round game. Unless the Worlds moves to Germany he will be out on his arse

True, but you could draw Luke Humphries in round 2 anyway

Very true but you could also get Peter Wright or Joe Cullen.

Cullen TV form is not bad

Wright is a walkover

Kumar wins Indian Qualifier to secure Ally Pally return

In a world where it apparently must go somewhere else, would we prefer Beau's spot to go to the floor qualifier or to Suzuki as the next highest woman?

[thegentle]

Up to 26 countries represented, I think the record is 28? Croatia, Denmark and Italy not yet represented, they have a chance through the PDPA, is Bellmont able to qualify through the Super League or the West European qualifier? The Eastern Euro qualifiers will be much like the Euro Tour quallies they’ve had this year plus Szagger; the Poles, Czechs and Grvabac will be favourites but we’ve also seen Slovenia and Hungary represented on the Euro Tour this year (Kovacs would be nice but that other Hungarian geezer was useless)

[The Thorn]

In a world where it apparently must go somewhere else, would we prefer Beau's spot to go to the floor qualifier or to Suzuki as the next highest woman?

The fair morally correct position is obviously give it to the next woman.

As usual PDC will do the exact opposite.

Went to the floor qualifier last year didn’t it?

Nitin Kumar set for World Darts Championship return with Indian Qualifier domination

https://dartsnews.com/pdc/nitin-kumar-s ... domination

Kumar played a total of 19 matches, all of which he thus won. He won 75 legs, conceding only nine. The Indian showed a fine level at times and threw an average of over 90 in four matches.
It will be the fourth time Kumar will compete in the World Darts Championship. In his three previous participations, he failed to win a set. He lost to successively Jeffrey de Zwaan (2019), Brendan Dolan (2020) and Ricky Evans (2022).
