Are there players that "deserve" tour cards?

[Emulsfier]

Well?

[Cooking with Sandra]

Yes. The players that earn them.

[The Thorn]

Emu if you want to speak technically then no. You only deserve a card if you earn it under the appropriate rules. They are the same for every player.

My point was that the system has serious flaws.

The quote marks are there for a reason. We know your answer.

Yes. The players that earn them.

+1. It's a meritocracy. If you can't win at Q School, you'll be gash on the tour anyway.

Aye, just like Ratajski who won 3 tour events without having a tour card

Uninformed opinion.

The odd player slips through the cracks from time to time, but there are so many chances, be it on the ProTour, Challenge Tour, or indeed the next season at Q-School to win a card again, if you can't do that, then what does that say about you?

Nothing. It's just a waste not seeing guys like Baetens and Pilgrim on the tour when they are more than good enough to cut it. There is always next year but the earlier they get there the better for everyone.

So many chances is a stretch when Challenge Tour offers 2 cards. In this climate and with the standard of the CT that's fuck all.

[FoundSidInTheBar]

Exactly, runs in a few tournaments does not a Pro Tour player make, necessarily.

If you're that good you should be beating enough players at Q School to win a card, if you ain't, you'll struggle on the floor anyway. This is true for 99.99% of darts players. It's just inarguable.

[TheMalteseDart]

I don't know the correct number of cards to be granted to Challenge Tour, but I think it should be more than 2. Nothing excessive though, 4 or 5? The cream will rise to the top eventually though

This..

4 is a decent amount

[Cooking with Sandra]

Might as well do away with Q School if you’re going to give freebies down the list of the other tours, there are barely enough to justify it now anyway.

Am I to assume its going badly for the wdf "elite" ?

Six of the World Professional Darts Championship competitors in the card positions as it stands.

Is this good news or bad news for the wdf system?
