- There are two players Michael Smith can leapfrog with a semi-final today: as well as Ryan Joyce, he could equal RVB and with the £5k would qualify on the count back rule of money earned in the last four Pro Tour tournaments. Either Ryan or Raymond would have to lose in the first round for a semi to be enough. O'Connor must win today to have a chance, and everyone in-between requires at least a finalist's cheque and some help from above.Scoobedybop09-07-2025

- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly.
