Rileys Sports Bars apologises after complaints about conditions at Rileys Qualifier for UK Open in Norwich
PDC
There were many complaints on social media on Saturday from players who took part in the qualification tournament for the UK Open in Norwich.
One of the so-called Rileys Qualifiers took place in Norwich. These qualifiers allow sixteen amateur players to qualify for the UK Open, which also includes the 128 PDC Tour Card holders.
But the circumstances in Norwich caused a lot of fuss. Snooker sticks were used as an oche on the practice boards, while the oche on some of the match dartboards were covered with tape. There were also many complaints about overflowing toilets at the Rileys Qualifier in Norwich.
Rileys Sports Bars has apologised via Twitter for all the problems surrounding the qualifying tournament. ''We are aware of the issues today at Rileys Norwich and want to assure customers that this is not standard practice and it has been dealt with. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.''

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
