CDC Pro Tour Order of Merit: Sevada, Buntz and Cameron on track to seal Ally Pally spots
PDCWednesday, 13 August 2025 at 14:00
The CDC season is only just over halfway through in terms of number of tournaments, but the battle for World Championship spots seems almost over. After ten of the sixteen tournaments, there is already a pretty good indication of who will qualify for the World Darts Championship.
This season, five World Championship tickets will be distributed through the CDC circuit. Not only will the winners of the CDC Continental Cup and the CDC Cross-Border Challenge be allowed to compete at Alexandra Palace, but three starting spots will also be given away through the CDC Pro Tour Order of Merit.
The CDC season this year consists of 16 Pro Tour tournaments, with the best American and best Canadian getting to go to the World Cup, as well as the next highest ranked player on the rankings.
Ten of the sixteen tournaments have now been played, and Adam Sevada has already built a substantial lead. The American made it to five finals, no fewer than four of which he won. This puts him at the top of the rankings with 118 points. Stowe Buntz, also an American, follows close behind in second place with 97 points.
We won't find the first Canadian until third place. That is held by David Cameron with 71 points. So the Canadian darter has to look mainly to compatriots in the rankings and he does not seem to have much to fear from them. Darryl Christie (ninth with 42 points), Jim Long (11th with 36 points) and Kiley Edmunds (12th with 34 points), are far behind Cameron.
Sevada and Cameron are thus well on their way to qualifying for the PDC World Darts Championship, while Buntz is also well placed to be the next highest-ranked player to force a World Championship spot. Buntz has a 32-point lead over number four Leonard Gates, who, however, already has a World Championship spot in his pocket because Gates won the CDC Continental Cup. So Buntz's next competitor is his compatriot Doug Boehm, who is in fifth place with 55 points.
The CDC circuit continues on the weekend of Aug. 22-24 with the next three tournaments in Oakbrook Terrace, in the U.S. state of Illinois. The final three tournaments of the year will take place Sept. 19-21 in Brownsburg, located in the state of Indiana.

- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
- Greaves could win Fallon might win Ashton might get a set Van Leuven could get a set deciders Hayter might get to a doubleBandB10-12-2025
- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Having been at Lakeside all week, I am glad it's over. It is not the same and the atmosphere is completely flat. Ultimately, I think they should reduce the format for the men, just make it 32 not 64. It's very long winded and completely rushed and compacted towards the last few days. Mitchell is an excellent player but had to play a 6 set boys final just hours before his 9 set mens final. If the whole competition was spread out he would have not been forced to play 2 major finals in an afternoon, it is ridiculous and Sophie McKinlay had the same situation last year.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025

- Saying Littler failed at lakeside is a little harsh. He lost to Veenstra with a record 104 average.BandB05-12-2025
- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025
