Hopefully this season will give us a more in depth analysis of the performances our players are registering in the England County Rankings table.
For International selection purposes, England maintains the need for players to play regularly in the Counties National League, therefor we are insisting as a matter of support for the "National League" and to maintain the structure of County Darts, that any player must attain at least 6 matches within 2022.
We understand there are many alternatives available to players, but our over-riding concern has to be County Darts.
The 6 matches’ criteria will allow players the flexibility of managing their aspirations where ever they ply their trade.
This year we have modified our criteria where a player for instance attaining 8 or more county matches will lose their worst and best performances, once again to highlight a players normal performances, this will give the selection process a balanced view, whilst analysing the County data.
Players with only 6 Rounds of information will carry all their statistics forward.
Whilst all players whose counties are members of England are included into the County Ranking Tables, only players who are Gold members by 1st September 2022, will be considered for International recognition.
Players who are currently Silver, Bronze or Associate members can upgrade to Gold status, and new players can show their support for England Darts by becoming members, www.englanddarts.co.uk/members.
Due to the mountain of work currently facing us, getting ready for the IOM and Open, and us not being aware of the Counties who retained membership until 7th Feb, I will attempt to get the Ladies uploaded by this weekend
The selected teams for the 2022 British Internationals will be available very shortly.
Please get your entries in for the IOM only a couple of weeks left.
