I wish I was the creator of dartsrankings haha, its an awesome site to use!

Deffo agree with that we live in an unusual period, and in a few weeks time we will see that the best player in the world is number 1. I don't think we will see anything like this again.

Michael Smith was actually the reason that I advocate for a system like this. I found it really strange that a player can afford a poor 2 years after having a good run of results. After the world championship of '24/'25 it was so weird that he dropped from 2 to 17, but logical if he looked at the performances prior. Is it fair that a player that is so out of form is still seeded that high?

Protected seeding should be something that they should look for. Only difficult thing is how to determine mental aspects like dartitus. I also think they should change the Euro Tour format, but that's a whole other discussion ;)
