Vote now and vote with quality.

Would depend purely on how you are defining it
Anyone with a tour card has to have quality

This is indeed an attempt to see where people draw the line in defining "quality"

Do they have to be a great lad as well?

Wadey, longevity is key.

The game of darts has largely resolved this question itself, for better or worse.

For the last twenty years at least, quality is measured by reference to averages. Even more so than trophies; we can all think of instances where players have won major titles but questions have been asked about the 'quality' needed to win it. That reference point is almost always the averages of those involved.

Darts players, male, female or a combination of both, who average 75 on a consistent basis are not 'quality' players. They may be competitive in weak fields, but that doesn't change the underlying position. This is especially so when they are consistently 10-15% poorer than the best players in the field.

[The Thorn]

In the men's field 85+ average is quality

In the women's field 75+ average is quality

[TheMalteseDart]

Anyone who consistenly hits high 80s + is quality for me

[Greipel]

Callum Goffin is a quality player according to this poll then.

Callum Goffin is a quality player according to this poll then.

Well he is a tour card holder so he must be half decent, in some fields he would be a quality player, in a Players Champs field he's an also ran

my definitive quality shooters are the top 31 in the OoM

which means that at #32, martin lukeman didn't quite make the cut.
that's too bad.

in the pro tour rankings, I'd move the quality throwers lower down to #37 and above.

tough luck lukeman. wrong side of the bubble again.

year-to-date rankings? 14 and above are pure quality. they stink to high heaven of quality.

hey, what a strange coincidence! lukeman just bombs out again for the 3rd time.

What has he done to earn your ire?

"Quality" is a very vague term.

For context, this thread was started after Thorn described Katie Sheldon as a 'quality player'.
