Admin phantom Posted January 3, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 A few years ago a guy called Gerwyn was invited to attend a darts competition at my social club, he didn't get on that well that day but came along as he wanted experience as was about to enter the PDC Q school. But fair play he's done pretty well for himself since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant isn’t top 10 but is defending champ. Cross is world number 4 so is in on his ranking.

Chisnell Smith Wade Would be fairer picks all top 10 in world It's the top 4 from the Order of merit below then six wildcards chosen by the PDC and/or Sky. It's not a written rule but normally any major tournament winners get in as wildcards, as only once has a major winner been left out that was Paul Nicholson after winning the 2010 Players Championship. Had Anderson won tonight Cross would not have been in the line up but Anderson lost so Cross stays top 4 which makes him safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted January 6, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 The Ladbrokes Masters will be expanded to feature 24 players, with this year's tournament being staged from January 29-31 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. Peter Wright will defend his title in this year's Masters, having defeated Michael Smith in the 2020 tournament to end Michael van Gerwen's five-year reign as champion. The tournament has previously featured 16 players since being introduced in 2013, but will see the addition of an extra session this year as eight further players take to the stage, with prize money increasing to £220,000. Play will commence on Friday January 29, with the players ranked 9-24 following the World Championship playing off in the first round as the extended format begins. Clashes at that stage will include Joe Cullen's tie against Stephen Bunting, with both having impressed at the World Championship recently - with the winner progressing to play new World Champion Gerwyn Price. Premier League champion Glen Durrant will play Mervyn King, while 2020 Grand Slam winner Jose de Sousa faces Jonny Clayton, who partnered Price to World Cup glory for Wales. The world's top eight players will then enter at the second round stage on Saturday January 30, with play to be split across two sessions on the day. Alongside Price's tie with Cullen or Bunting, Wright will open his title defence against either Krzysztof Ratajski or Simon Whitlock, while five-time Masters champion Van Gerwen plays De Sousa or Clayton. 2014 Masters winner James Wade, the only other former champion in the field this year, will play either World Matchplay champion Dimitri Van den Bergh or Chris Dobey. The tournament will then conclude on Sunday January 31 with the quarter-finals in the afternoon session and the semi-finals and final in the evening session. The 2021 Ladbrokes Masters will be held behind closed doors at the Marshall Arena due to current restrictions. Worldwide coverage will be led by host broadcaster ITV4 in the UK and Ireland, as well as through RTL7 in the Netherlands and DAZN in various global territories, as well as through the PDC's global broadcasters, for PDCTV Rest of the World Subscribers and through matchroom.live.

Admin phantom Posted January 14, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 A total of 29 Tour Cards will be on offer at the 2021 PDC Qualifying Schools in February. Qualifying Schools will be held in the UK and Europe to allow players the chance to secure a full-time spot on the PDC ProTour with a two-year Tour card. This year's battle to secure Tour Cards in Milton Keynes and Niedernhausen will be split across First Stage - to be held in two three-day blocks from February 8-10 & 11-13 - and Final Stage, which will take place from February 14-17. The top 64 players following the 2020/21 William Hill World Darts Championship retain their Tour Card status for 2021, alongside 31 players who won a Tour Card last January. In addition, the top two players from each of the final 2021 PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit earned a two-year Tour Card for 2021-22, seeing David Evans, Ritchie Edhouse, Keane Barry and Berry van Peer step onto the ProTour this year. That leaves 29 Tour Cards to play for across the two Qualifying Schools, with 12 places initially going to the last two on each day at the UK Qualifying School and the winner on each day at the European Qualifying School. The remaining 17 places will be allocated to the respective Qualifying School Orders of Merit, being split pro-rata based on entries.
