Realistically distant players need to be at a higher level before having a tour card is worth it. If the N&B players don't have cards, it's because they aren't good enough.
I wish there was a female German player like that. It's one thing to have it listed like that, but in all likelihood they wouldn't get anywhere near Ally Pally with even those opportunities.
You add 32 extra players there is plenty room for 1 or 2 more Nordic qualifier considering the quality on that tour. It's not just about quality, it's about being diverse.willem0000 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 7:39 pm+11205 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 6:45 pm I'm OK with boosting distant tours like the CDC and Asian Tour, but not closer affiliates like the Nordic & Baltic.

It's the world championship. It should only be about quality. The UK open is the perfect tournament for diversity and inclusivityThe Thorn wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 7:50 pmYou add 32 extra players there is plenty room for 1 or 2 more Nordic qualifier considering the quality on that tour.

No point talking about that when they are adding 32 extra places to an event that is already bloated quality-wise.Dfc180 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 16, 2025 8:26 pmIt's the world championship.

If they kept top 32 and then made it next 48 Pro Tour, 80 players. It's adding more jobbers than dross. And it would make it easier for the better CT players who can't get any ET money.TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 12:30 am Thought there was an announcement or something but thank fuck there isn’t based on the above. No chance there’d be 8 CT players PDC couldn’t give a shite about that tour, and it would be dumb anyway.
I still don’t really like this expansion, with 96 there’s a lot of dross let alone with 128. With 96 there’s plenty of opportunities to qualify as a tour card holder and no excuses if you’re not at Ally Pally. Feel like now you’ll get there easily and can assist players with getting away with a dogshit season
I assume Scutt will easily be top 32 because he isn't defending money. To be honest I assumed he would already be top 32 as I thought he played quite a few events last year as well?1205 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 2:03 pmIf they kept top 32 and then made it next 48 Pro Tour, 80 players.
