Jyhan Artut 6-3 Vernon Sheppard
Ken MacNeil 6-2 David Copley
Ricky Evans 6-4 Veijo Viinikka

Imagine 4 losers in those games as good as got card unless have a mare rest of week

Day 2:
Board Seven

Lionel Sams v Brett Claydon

where are the matches held.

Wigan sports centre - Opposite the football stadium.

Lionel Sams 6-4 Brett Claydon

beaten in round 2 6-4

still no points for week

can the public watch or is it behind closed doors?

chris mason also beaten in round 2

nobby, 1 guest per player only.

BDO are in the process of losing 2 young guns from their org. Daryl Gurney (Northern Ireland) & Dave Pallett (England).

Pallett lost 6-5 v louis blundell in the final game. Blundell receives tour card.

Dave Pallett represented Team England in the Internationals, and got ko'd in last 32 of world masters. If he don't get a tour card he'll be left in no mans land with the 180 day bdo ban

^^^ Forgot to add,  Gurney won a tour card today.

Top 9 in list will win tour cards after 4 days of action(unless they are daily winner days 3,4,
then will get auto tour card)

Q school day 3:
Lionel 6-2 manuel

Go on Lionel!

Round 1: Lionel 6-2 andrew johnson. Round 2: Lionel v simon mcall.

Lionel 6-2 mccoll.  Round 3 (last 64) Lionel v steve coote.

The Lion's wrath will be quick and terrible. A vengeance of biblical proportions will surely face anyone standing in his path.

Lionel 6-5 Coote.  Last 32 Lionel v jordy terborg.

Another former forum favourite Kirky Me Lion is going great guns too

The great man comes through a decider to advance

wow yep, into a final game for tour card

If Lionel and Kirky come through this we should have a day of celebration and a national holiday declared

lionels jukebox will be knocking out some songs tonight

Lionel v kim's brother ron huybrechts. 2 wins awas frm tour card. Our man kev dowling 1 win away from tour card and yep, brummie kirk also 1 win away.

just shows how one day changes from next, different players having good day after doing little previous 2

campbell jackson won a card

shephards first day today, only playing at the weekend

be some effort to turn up on the saturday and get card straight off when likes of roy,mace etc been slogging guts out for 3 days

Heartbreak for Lionel

give himself a fighting chance tomorrow though with 9 points today

True Steps

Only 5pts tho 9pts for losing in final round

ah yep, 5 points bit more tricky then

probably going to need at least that again tomorrow to have any chance

9 points would have meant that even 2 points tomorrow would give him a sniff

shephard loses final too

Yep a sad day

Seen Sams play quite a bit in open comps, hasnt been that great so must have upped his game

My mate is a bit more brutal saying 'Sams is crap and wins matches on name only' Sams sits on 7 points now?, my mate is currently sitting on 2 points

Kev Dowling looking good for an imminent return to the pro tour with a further 9 points today. But watch out! The Huybrechts are coming. Ronny wins his tour card teams up with his brother for Belgium in the world cup of darts. 33/1 best price and rubbed my eyes when 150 became available on bf. I only got €2 on of my initial £20. Looking to get the £18 on at some stage. Not a bad 2pts bet :)

Looks like Chris Mason is struggling

Krispy said he had a bad migrane so pulled out today but will be playing tomorrow. One player expected to do well is Oxfordshire's Jon Jukes. He currently has zero points. The forum pervs would be dribbling over his mrs if he gets on the big stage. Allow me an aside.....I played my old mucker Kev Dowling in a comp a couple of weeks ago., well thats not the real story. I got chatti.g to Supermac Kev McDine and after laughing and prodding him one too many times he chinned me lol. Not hard, and not soft either. Then he walked away from me haha. Both KEv's sit proudly at the top of the ranking points table. P.S. Supermac had enough of my praising the bdo players at the world champs :-D   and fone posting once again!

Quite amazing how many good players are struggling, aside from the ones the regulars everyone knows, along wioth Jon Jukes, regular money comp winner and England international Jamie Robinson only has 2 points

And has beaten Jon himself and Brian Woods

Anyone thing the Q system should be little different.

All the players should perhaps play more games every day say 6 matches and top 20+ over 3 days (18 matches) go through. 

Maybe have sunday as a knockout tournie to give the rest of players a chance.

Realise the issue perhaps is time of getting through more games but surely worth finding 2nd/bigger venue for it

Definitely the luck of the draw as there's a lot of duffers chucking £200 into the pdc pot just to experience the 4 day challenge and a chance to pit their wits against some quality players. I know at least player who qualified through the rileys/redtooth? route, had their entrance fees paid for, but when the 180 day BDO ban was published they declined the offer???

Q School Day 4:
First Round.
Lionel Sams 6-4 Sean Johns

There's room for a 2nd tier of the PDC Pro Tour. But like previous players who dropped out of the top 64 say, the PDC have what they want, why increase their work load for another 100+ jobbers!

Steve Maish collected 0 points over the four days?

sams beaten in round 3, so end of road

also out is chris mason, again finished

Kirk shephard,alex roy through to round 4

Might be enough for shephard to get card

Kev Dowling looking good for a card.

Latest:

Kevin McDine v Martyn Turner - Kevin McDine hits nine-dart finish!

day 4 winners (4 places)
Steve Coote

Amos, Paul     9 + 5 = 14


3     Dowling, Kevin     12
3     Johnson, Darren     12
3     Viinikka, Veijo     12

10     Shepherd, Kirk     9 + 3 = 12

looks like it's going to a count back to see who qualfies

Royden Lam wins tour card outright.

3 from these 4 get tour card?

3     Dowling, Kevin     12
3     Johnson, Darren     12
3     Viinikka, Veijo     12

10     Shepherd, Kirk     9 + 3 = 12

Full Q School Order of Merit to follow...

Nice one

mcdine player of the week, some effort by shephard having only played the weekend

Alex Roy was 1 win away today from getting card today on points

Yep McDine clearly knew he was already there before last match and when pressure was off produces a 9 darter

Clearly Kirky should now be odds on to be 2014 world champ though???

Hey Steptoe, any lads from your neck of the woods qualify?

ricky evans & kev mcdine - northamptonshire

kev dowling - coventry

kirk shepherd - birmingham

It's a tough life for kirk. He's contented supping his pints of voddy, doing exhibitions @ £200 a time, and living off his world champs cheque

How much chance to play will likes of bates,mason,roy get now ?

no mate, northeast lad me

Would think the next 10-20 players will get to play the majority of events anyway, as there are always withdrawals from each event

Darren Webster didnt get through q school last year and still got in the Worlds

did/does jamie robinson play for england bdo or pdc?

Jamie played in the bdo and tried the pdc Q school route. As things stand he's fecked now nobby. 180 bdo ban, and only selected pdc events:


"All players who missed out on winning a Tour Card retain Associate Membership of the PDPA for 2013, meaning that they can compete in all eight UK Open Qualifiers alongside the European Tour qualifying events this year, as well as the World Championship PDPA Qualifier in November."


The pitfalls of trying to better yourself and being left in no man's land. At least he'll still have the weekend opens to play in?

did/does jamie robinson play for england bdo or pdc?

Strangest question ever, thought you were from Essex anyway so assume you are on the wind up in general as I am sure you know Jamie

Unlike others D & B Jamie had a sponsor for the year if he got through, so was worth the risk, dont think he was interested in the BDO tour anyway this year, he will be happy cleaning up the money comps

itfc, martin adams plays for england (bdo) as does phil taylor (pdc) but theyre never in the same team so why was the question so strange?

alan who plays for essex is a better player than jamie imo.

chris masons take on Q week

Interesting insight into how much darts those who didnt qualify might get

Also fact that he broke one of darts yet didnt have spare set
