It will be easier for European players next season to try to win a prized two year Tour Card for the PDC circuit. The PDC will launch a European Q-School from next season in Hildesheim a usual place where a European Tour event is held.
The four-day tournament coincides with the Q-School in England, which means that players can not participate in both tournaments so there will be only 1 chance to win a tour card. At the Q-School, you usually earn 25 to 30 Tour Cards but instead of European players from countries such as Germany, Austria, Denmark etc having to travel over here to potentially not get a tour card, it will be a lot closer.
The set-up and Tour Card distribution of the two Q-Schools for the coming season is still unknown. The PDC is expected to announce this within a few weeks with Barry Hearn the chairman of the PDC though hinting on Twitter at additional cards for Europe as opposed to half and half and also questions have been asked about whether there is any special rulings for the Q-School in terms of location which Hearn replied that it would be announced in the next few weeks.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
