No doubt. Next thing is getting through of the group stage at the worls cup.

Q School should give her enough confidence to play full CT and DT, unless maybe they clash with the top WDF events.

Yeah, agreed. I think her doubles isn’t helped by the trouble on doubled we unfortunately see in the women’s game, even at the top level of it. Definitely agree she would try and play as much PDC second tier stuff as she’s willing and able to.

She's in the UK Open and PDC World Masters. She's got the best of both worlds now

Yeah she has the choice to defend Lakeside again if she wants to and another year to develop and pick and choose her events. Might be her final time in the WDF if she gets a card off the Challenge or Dev Tour.

Might get a few call ups for Pro Tours.

How dare you forget the world changing event that was Ross the Toss winning the day.

Indeed, you have every right to chastise me for that.

Will Simon Whitlock, Mervyn King and Richie Burnett now join the Seniors tour, now they no longer have PDC tour cards alongside Steve Beaton and John Henderson.

Presume one of them will replace Jim Long at the Tavern now

The Kovács-Sárai pair was already close to it.

Could they use the previous year's final stage averages to work out a split? Too complicated for me.

Bottom 12, complete dross and 9 of them from Europe q school

-1

I wouldn't judge players too much by what kind of q-school they had. It's for winning a card. They'll now have plenty of opportunities to prove beyond doubt that they are dross.

Correct most are under immense pressure.
You can't really say until they have had a while on the tour.

The wdf did not do so bad out of today still got the defending champs and there number 1 as well

Imagine relying on Matthew Dennant to miss doubles to secure your card? No such player will ever do anything in the PDC!
