Perez may hand his in

We don't know but there are no signs pointing at him handing in his card, are there?
Nope, no signs. It seems he's in no hurry to return however. He can do as pleases of course but 'wasted cards', much like wasted 180s, are bad.
I do think the PDC should have made a rule about it years ago.

I don't think it's right to blame the players as they are not really gaming the system. They are following the rules which the PDC could easily change if they gave a shit.
The 2024 rules will be published soon. I suspect a rule will be added a rule about % of events. It's a tricky area though as there are endless good reasons why players might miss events.
I don't think you can include every possibility in the rulebook.

It should be up to the PDC's discretion to make exceptions only in very special cases.

Edgar said in a youtube video that there is a minimum requirement of 1 event in 12 months.

So as far as I take it Cadby's card should be revoked as per current rules, Perez's should not.

They're probably not keen on going down the 'disrection' road but yes, they'd have to be humans about it. Paternity leave, for example.

Agree, but a % rule needs to be put in place to prevent another Perez/Cadby situation

Practically everything that happens in the PDC today is at their discretion.

They are adding and removing rules mid year as they please. They keep ignoring their own rules. They are really horrible at micromanaging anything.

I know you're fighting an uphill battle if you fail to make the Worlds in your first year, but I can't remember such a ferocious battle for the top 64. Normally someone plummets down and out of the top 64, but apart from Kleermaker who wasn't going to keep his card, White, Lennon, Mario, Szaganski and Scutt all made the Worlds, and only White and Mario lost in the first round. A word too for Krcmar, who was on £76.75k in the tour card race before the final qualifier, and Hempel, who was on £61.75k, both finished well clear of the drop, but would have been fucked if they didn't make it (Hempel ultimately needed every single one of his wins to keep his card!)
