    The Assett won, averaging just under 100
    I'm not sure if there's a dart player I dislike more than Paul Nicholson.

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

    So far his decision not to enter last year and to focus on getting his game back is working. I'm not a big fan of his but would like to see him back on the tour because more 'characters' are needed.

    Feung us supposedly from Hong Kong, plays on the PDC Asian Tour.

    No fun drawing Feung in that form :o

    Couple of things if someone could help or direct me please.

    1. How many players have entered Q School (UK abroad) and how many tour cards are on offer?

    2. How does a player win a tour card?

    3. What is the format of the competition/competitions?

    4. Is it the top 64 in the world who automatically retain their cards?

    5. Do yous think the the PDC should expand the amount of cards on offer given its massive popularity or do you think that would inflate the field too much?

    6. Do you think Q-School should be televised as it would create great drama or do you think that would put too much pressure on many inexperienced players? (inexperienced as in never played on live tv before).

    Most of your questions can be answered here

    The top 64 order of merit automatically retain their cards. If you qualify today, you get a 2-year card, so in any one year you can have over well over a hundred with tour cards for the upcoming year which is plenty enough.

    They should have had some sort of stream to go through the matches this weekend but because it is so manic, it probably would have been difficult.

    Fallon Sherrock and Lisa Ashton both through to the Third Round. Sherrock faces Paul Nicholson in the next round.

    John O'Shea and Jason Cullen also through.

    Van Tergouw is a bit of a myth.

    Looks like Sherrock just missed match darts against the Asset
    4-2 up though so should get across the line

    Sherrock wins 5-4
    Quite the game
    She was averaging 98 after 5 legs , 2 100+ checkouts
    Asset came back, she missed the bull for the big fish at 4-3 and Asset checked out 72 to level
    She played great final leg , had six darts from 68 checkout out, won handy enough

    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!

    What's the reason for this?

    Trying to be more professional. The PDC don't like players drinking at events although I'm not sure how strict they are. Definitely only water is allowed while you're playing.

    Another 107 average from Leung!

    Down to the last 8 now in the UK school.

    Austrian Harald Leitinger is playing Martijn Kleermaker in the final of the European school. Kleermaker was beaten in the last 16 stage of the BDO.

    Lowe wins. Serious double trouble at the end from both parties.

    It's a grind fest, really hard day with alot on the line for some players. Sometimes the players you'd expect to do well just don't turn up.

    Interesting to see if there will be a female tour card winner. Sherrock played well in some games but I'd say the longevity of the day will catch her out. Ashton is probably the only other one who could get one, she's a tough cookie

    Never heard of any of them apart from the Hammer

    Lowe and Gary Blades (who beat Lisa Ashton) in the final so they get todays cards

    Lowe averaging 94 today, good bit higher than Blades

    Checkout The Darts Referee on YouTube, does a lot of interesting videos especially about Q School.

    Said he reckons around 12 points will qualify someone on the Order of Merit.
