There is a new Dutch world number one within the World Darts Federation (WDF). The ranking at this federation has been led since Monday by Jimmy van Schie, who has taken over from his compatriot Wesley Plaisier.
Van Schie is experiencing his international breakthrough this season. He already won seven WDF tournaments, allowing Van Schie to accumulate many points for the rankings. Next month he will also make his debut at Lakeside, where the WDF World Championship will be played. Plaisier is currently second in the rankings, but will not be taking any more points as he has recently captured his Tour Card and will make a permanent move to the PDC.
The current top ten WDF rankings currently include five players who will not be in action at Lakeside this year because they have also qualified for the PDC's World Darts Championship. This association does not allow players to compete in both World Championships. In addition to Plaisier, these include Leonard Gates (fifth), Ben Robb (sixth), Alexander Merkx (eighth) and Connor Scutt (ninth).

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
