Updated PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit: Barnard guarantees tour card after 16/20 events
NewsTuesday, 11 September 2018 at 09:00
The Challenge Tour is coming towards its conclusion with four events still left to be contested. Michael Barnard and Cameron Menzies in particular are ones left to watch.
Barnard is massively ahead of every other player in the Order of Merit and can only now be passed by one player. That means that he has essentially secured his tour card and also being the winner of the Challenge Tour with only four events to go.
Unlike Menzies, he will likely secure his World Championship spot through the Pro Tour meaning that the Scot has virtually secured his spot at Ally Pally.
Cody Harris and Dennis Nilsson are the only other players who are without Pro Tour spots themselves who trouble him for that spot. ‘Cammy’ brought himself up the rankings and into this position with an event win at the weekend so it’s up to the other players now to try and challenge him for it.

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
