Oh. I thought something looked fishy, highest I remember Walsh was about 7th.Rogg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 1:37 pm I liked all the observations but should clarify that this ranking list was never actually in use.
They were just showing how the first 2-year money list was in the process of being built. It only has 7 months of earnings on it at that point. Walsh was UK Open runner-up that summer which is why he is up in 3rd.
If you combined the 32 best players in the PDC and BDO during this period you would have a very strong code. Probably comparable with the top 32 of today.Rogg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:33 am

I recall some berk on Twitter claiming that peak Rod Harrington would struggle to qualify for today's events and a comment on here a few months back claiming that peak Adams wouldn't be top 50 today. Statements that I found ridiculous.
Cullen & Pipe Join PDC Circuit
JOE CULLEN and Justin Pipe have moved onto the PDC Pro Tour following their participation in the Blue Square UK Open last month.
The duo were among the 32 Holsten Qualifiers for the UK Open, competing for the first time in a PDC event at the Reebok Stadium.
Cullen, a teenager from Bradford who turned 19 last Sunday, made a big impression with his participation in Bolton by reaching round three.
He whitewashed Mark Stapleton in round one before defeating Dennis Smith 6-2 in the second round, and lost just 9-5 to Chris Mason in the last 64.
Pipe, 36, hails from Taunton and defeated Geoff Wylie and Lionel Sams before being knocked out by eventual champion James Wade in round three.
The duo will make their debuts on the PDC Pro Tour in Saturday's Bobby Bourn Memorial Players Championship.
Walsh also had the best recovery from dartitis since Bristow got back to world number 1. In some ways, it was even more impressive with Walsh, because his floor form was the best of his career afterwards.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 1:53 pm My memory of Walsh is that he did well in floor events.
Wikipedia shows that he did very little in TV majors (Worlds, MP, GP) other than the aforementioned UK Open final.

THE inaugural PDC ProTour Qualifying School will feature 119 players in Wigan from Thursday-Sunday.
The 2011 PDC ProTour has seen the introduction of a Tour Card system, with 103 players earning a Tour Card by rights following the completion of the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.
A total of 128 Tour Cards will be awarded to players wishing to compete full-time on the PDC ProTour this year, with four offered to the Lakeshite Championship semi-finalists and the remaining places coming from the four-day Qualifying School in Wigan.
Q School will be played across four days from Thursday January 13-Sunday January 16, with each day hosting an individual knockout event.
The 119 players competing in Q School include 55 existing PDPA members and 63 new players or players who have rejoined the PDPA, including John Ferrell and Lee Palfreyman.
Magnus Caris, Devon Petersen, Preston Ridd, Dietmar Burger and Michael Mansell all competed in the World Championship recently, while Hull youngster Reece Robinson competed in the Rileys Darts Zones UK Open last June.
Many other young players competed in the inaugural PDC Unicorn Under-21 World Championship in the autumn of 2010, including Shaun Griffiths, Chris Aubrey, Michael Bushby, Jon Smith and Adam Smith-Neale.
The field of entrants also includes 2010 Lakeshite Championship runner-up Dave Chisnall and previous Grand Slam of Darts qualifiers Brian Woods and John Henderson.
Lakeshite Champion Martin Adams and Martin Phillips have declined offers of a Tour Card, with Dean Winstanley and Jan Dekker having until Thursday to confirm whether they will accept their place.
Four players from the original top 96 - Chris Mason, Lionel Sams, David Fatum and Scott Burnett - declined their Tour Card and have been replaced by Par Riihonen, Dave Smith, Stuart Dutton and Scott Rand, who were the next players in the PDC Order of Merit.
