I wonder if the number of tour cards will go up in the next year or 2, think there is the capacity to go to 150 and have a prelim each tournament and remove the challenge tour lads taking up the spot. I'm sure 44 random players will be delighted to have an extra game to reach the money or even go o...

Looks like the NDB are striking up relationships with PDC Europe and have an agreement in place for selling tickets and taking a share of the profits. From the NDB website Do you want to go to the Belgian Darts Championship or to the Dutch Darts Masters to see Michael van Gerwen in real life? That i...

Can’t see if this has been mentioned but from the Guardian “It has been reported that the prize money pot has been cut from £329,000 to £150,000, with the women’s champion receiving £8,000, compared to £12,000 this year. The BDO chairman, Des Jacklin, had previously claimed that the prize fund for w...

q What news are you expecting, surely its too early for a fully affiliated wdf tour working as a feeder to the pdc. That should be the end goal, however a new wdf amateur world championship with pdc tour card spots for the finalists would be a start. GSOD spots also awarded to wdf instead of bdo as...

She hadn't even got a tour card yet. Let he achieve that first. If she wants more opportunities for female players go and be successful from the bottom up. She has had a couple of good games and now being given everything

I thought the televised new events were I the bag before he got his dictatorship

I can't find the actual post on Facebook but in a conversation someone was saying the players have been told the world champs are 100% on in 2021 with sponsors sorted. (They also highlighted how only y the Dutch are not having bdo points thus all is well). anyone heard this rumour? Not a single Aus...

I txt messaged a few people last night. They have heard nothing about Eurosport dropping the BDO World Championship. I am not saying that Oche Balboa is telling fibs, yet I suspect he's only been told half the story. There is no reason for Eurosport to not broadcast the BDO World Championship. The ...

Is this the Dutch company

Who pays for the production costs zapp? Do eurosports just get free (to them) feeds to show? If so: not bad deal for eurosports I believe the BDO have to sort out production. Dont know if they got a contribution to the costs from Eurosport. Apparently that good Dutch production company wont do it a...

Nothing. It's a different event

Will any of the American events carry points?

When i first started playing a darts tour in the 1980's some events were BDO ranked whilst others were WDF ranked , some events were well run others not so well run but the majority were good fun . 30+ years later it looks as we have gone full circle and looking increasingly likely that a WDF tour ...

Probably not. Think the ship has already sailed, it’s all linked and as the BDO aren’t inthe WDF there isn’t anything for them to go back to

Interesting the the NDB haven't made the decision on all events they have with BDO points ( they must have more). How long will the BDO take to acknowledge this.

Pity that WDF has less commercial nowse that the BDO. They are the governing body and are trying to act as such but does not change the fact that 6 months ago they were begging the members for 50K to pay for their ICO consultant. Worse still the team appointed to build the event structure have no m...

Do you think the overseas players will still go to the expense of travelling to The O2 if the prize money money isn’t guaranteed? I have seen at least one player expressing doubt. Apart from maybe getting to the final the prize fund isn't great. After that what are the player now playing for? The B...

No matter whether the BDO have broken any rules surely the WDF have the right to remove members as they see fit.

What they need to do now though is remove Catalonia as they don't represent a country. Otherwise part of their argument doesn't stand up.
