    With the demise of the BDO, this years Q-School will be extremely interesting. Both the UK and Euro Q-Schools are being held from the 16th-19th January meaning it starts this Thursday.

    Confirmed entries so far for both can be found at the following links:

    UK Q-School - https://t.co/rqqHWk81Di

    Euro Q-School - https://t.co/A5UPsGbfo9

    Some of the matches will be available to view on a Stream this year.

    Mark Webster has pulled out of Q-School. I'm disappointed he's pulled out, maybe Sky had a word with him and he will be more involved with comms this year. Hopefully he does take the year to work on his game and gives Q-School a go next year.

    Think Sherrock has the best chance. If she can match her 90 odd averages from the PDC worlds she has a strong chance

    Leighton Bennett is not old enough to go yet, minimum age to enter Q-School is 16 and Bennett has just turned 14. You also have to be 16 to play on the PDC Development Tour. It's to do with child protection and labour laws.

    There's over 850 entries with 31 cards (yet to be confirmed I think) on offer! That's some amount of entries.

    I see Peter Manley is one of the entrants, no chance of it happening but it would be great to see one dart back the tour winding people up.

    I think I saw lately that he has gone every year since he lost his card, which doesn't look good!

    The PDC have stated that no alcohol is permitted in the venue which will definitely effect some of the players, especially the old school lads. I've no idea how Wayne Warren will cope!

    It's on now. Suzuki drew another woman in Kirsty Chubb. Sherrock on now too.

    A player called Jeremy Dolan just averaged 32.7 in a 5-0 loss. That surely is the worst ever recorded PDC average. I mean if you threw at the board blind folded you would average higher than that!

    Fair bit of luck involved in these early draws
    Matthew Dennant, who had match darts against Duzza last year just beaten by Richie Burnett , averaging 93 - and that over the best of 9 legs

    On a quick glance, he would have won 90% of games with that average so unlucky to be out so early on

    He didn't get below 200 in any leg, that's shocking

    He was 4-3 up. Also finished with an 88 average compared to an 81 average.

    Going to be tough for him now.

    Still has a few more days. If he can up that average a small bit he'll have a chance

    The Assett won, averaging just under 100

    Some lad (or lady?) call Feung averaged 107 in his game
