There are few changes at the top of the WDF women's rankings after the recent tournaments in Scotland and Slovakia.
Beau Greaves, absent both events, still leads the world rankings by a wide margin with 1453 points.
Rhian O'Sullivan follows well behind with 1016 points, while Lerena Rietbergen is third with 887 points. She initially had a sizeable lead over
Lorraine Hyde, but the Scot has crept closer.
Hyde recently won the title at both the Scottish Open and the Scottish Classic. She now stands at 808 points, leaving her only 79 points behind Rietbergen. Following Hyde are Nicole Regnaud (700 points), Deta Hedman (686 points) and Joanne Hadley (592 points). The top-10 is completed by Jitka Cisarova (583 points), who won the Slovak Open last weekend, Irina Armstrong (547 points) and Aileen de Graaf (543 points).
Paula Jacklin also won a title this past weekend and although she sits in 16th. She is currently in the top eight when it comes to qualification for the WDF Lakeside World Championship. This comprises Rietbergen who tops the West Europe Ranking Table, Dutch Open champion Rhian O'Sullivan.
As well as the aforementioned Lorraine Hyde, Deta Hedman, Beau Greaves, Sophie McKinlay and Nicole Regnaud. Joanne Hadley also priorly mentioned currently sits in position too as a Gold/Platinum Event winner.
Further players will confirm their spots through the Denmark Open, Toronto Area Open, New Zealand Open and Korean Open. Sarah Makanga, Pei-Ying Liao, Maria Carli, Greta Tekauer and Tracy Feiertag are also leading regional tables. Irina Armstrong, Aileen de Graaf and Aletta Wajer are also in line for the spots with further qualifiers to be set over the course of the year.
Back to Beau Greaves and she will have a decision to make also if the rules don't change. She is currently in line although at an early stage to qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship three times through the Challenge Tour, Development Tour and Women's Series.
Those would also gleam a Tour Card which would shut the route off completely anyway at the end of the cycle so an intriguing few months await.

- Beau's just gone 14-12-11-10 to win her second round PC game from 5-2 down. She's a true competitor not a show pony.
- Quite rightly Beau is more interested in winning meaningful matches?
- I really enjoyed the Women's Matchplay, Beau seemed slightly nervous but when it mattered, she hit the big scores and required check outs. Both Gemma and Fallon had her on the ropes and were equally unlucky.
I wonder what ever happened to Gemma's partner Stephanie Smee, she was a decent player that just disappeared. Good to see her.
I would like to see a longer format maybe over Saturday and Sunday.
It does work well and this could be an option in the World Championship, a ladies Championship run parallel with the men's like played at Lakeside.
Congratulations Beau!
- Sophie is an excellent player and an exciting talent. I would have thought such a talented player would certainly be ranked higher than 17. It will be great to see her back at Lakeside and hopefully becoming champion.
- How many times can fatty Bunting say listen, listen, listen.......
I definitely don't want to see him for another 10 years, although looking at him, I don't think we will...you know what I mean.
- Don't worry Vinman, England will not be in the final.
- Ultimately, Vin man knew when to call it quits. Barney was excellent and one of the greatest darts player ever, but he just doesn't have that ability anymore. Vinman working in media is only saying what he thinks and I like how he doesn't sugar coat things and is completely honest and direct with his comments. Vinman will probably agree he wasn't really on the same level as Barney in their respective heydays.
- I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season.
I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.
- I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives.
The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interest
- This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result).
Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.
