"We're conscious of the fact that the World Championship does create an imbalance in the Order of Merit" - PDC considers redistribution of prize money

A points system and a rolling one year system would be much better. What’s harder. Win every round of the Players Championship and then the Final or win the World Championship? Do the former and you would not have the same amount of winnings as the latter yet the former is by far the harder thing to achieve and as likely will never be done. The World Championship should be the pinnacle, Matchplay and Grand Prix next then the remaining ranking Majors (European, GSOD, UK Open, Players Championship Finals) and the Euro Tour and Players Championship rounds next. Leave the prize pots alone apart from distribute them lower down the field more equally.

There is no reason to redistribute, This is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP for petes sake. Adopt a points system instead( as per MVG,s suggestion last year) This will then reward consistency and commitment. I think it is the only logical system and i think the only reason for NOT doing it , is the fact it would be similar to the old BDO system.( gawd forbid something could come from that shambles!)
