PC finals done, now on to the worlds

Didn't envisage too much of value appearing in rounds 3 onwards, so we finish the tournament as the year's gone, on a bit of a damp squib. Big result for Humphries to lay down the final marker, and good to see Dirk and Smith getting deep runs. Final FRH rankings before the worlds:

1 Luke Humphries

2 Luke Littler

3 Michael van Gerwen

4 Rob Cross

5 Dave Chisnall

6 Stephen Bunting

7 Damon Heta

8 James Wade

9 Gary Anderson

10 Michael Smith

11 Jonny Clayton

12 Danny Noppert

13 Ross Smith (UP 4)

14 Mike de Decker

15 Chris Dobey (DOWN 2)

16 Josh Rock (DOWN 1)

17 Dimitri van den Bergh (DOWN 1)

18 Ryan Searle

19 Peter Wright

20 Gerwyn Price

Not a huge amount of movement, likely directly correlated to needing to reach the quarters to do anything of note, that and the top two getting all the cake again. Dirk moved back up into the top 30 at least.

Worlds draw is done. Sky are obviously praying to god that Meikle loses first round, but I can see this being moderately chalky, outside of Nijman getting a fantastic draw. I've done a bunch of chat about it here if you want to go and have a listen, it's not great quality audio I know but I sorted by price when getting a headset. As I think I previously stated, I'm not going to go into quite the level of detail that I've been to in previous years, nor am I going to give outright tips, but I'll start getting things up once I can see the schedule and know where I need to prioritise on the draw (other than Humphries obv). But first, there's another world championship before that, and it's mostly a case of working out who the fuck is in it and why Gary Stone is the second favourite. More on that soon.
