Final

A lot of spots still up for grabs on the pro tour OoM in particular, the overall OoM too and a few regional qualifiers still to be decided.

This year's last chance PDPA qualifier will have 4 spots

KevIRL · 25-10-2023 8:14pm

Current OoM situation here

https://www.dartsrankings.com/wch

From an Irish perspective, William O Connor, Dylan Slevin, Steve Lennon, Mickey Mansell and Keane Barry are all pretty much certain to be in.

Looking likely that Lennon will need to win his first round match and probably his second round as well to keep his tour card.

John O Shea will probably need to come through the PDPA qualifier and then win a match or two or he will lose his card

Dillonb3 · 27-10-2023 7:12pm

Lennon still in qualification spot for players championship finals. A run in that might ease the pressure a bit

Fallon has been awarded an MBE.

Looking forward to commentators and pundits constantly referring to her ‘Fallon Sherrock MBE’ during the worlds.

It'll only be for one session though and she'll be knocked out

Degag · 02-11-2023 3:17pm

If she’s one of the last to play the first round it’ll be about 10 days and 20 sessions listening to it.

Which i’m looking forward to as i said.

So there's 28 random ish (developmental) qualifiers, so 96-28= 68, almost neatly 64, which is 2nd round and on

PTH2009 · 13-11-2023 5:54pm

Mad that's there only one more big tournament (2x if you're counting the tour card qualifer) til the start of the championship

Year has flown

Dillonb3 · 18-11-2023 5:20pm

Thibaut Tricole wins the West Europe Qualifier

The WDF must be getting sick with all the players that have pulled out after qualifying for the PDC Worlds. The draw had already been made for the WDF tournament too. I can't see it lasting for much longer.

They will now have a replacement player who couldn't qualify as the 11th seed. Mental stuff

KevIRL · 20-11-2023 1:55pm

Prakash Jiwa suspended and likely out of world's. Will mean 5 qualifiers now from PDPA event next Monday

roosterman71 · 20-11-2023 3:33pm

Isn't there a full round 1 where 32 will be knocked out and then the top 32 join in to play those remaining 32 in the second round? What's that projected draw above?
