Re: NDB vote NOT to apply for BDO points .....

Wonder when the BDO will start taking events off their calender. All events next year still showing they are carrying ranking points. The World's apparently doesn't carry ranking points anyway. All bring said with the fact that the BDO aren't sanctioned by the WDF they have to come out and tell pla...

GSOD 2020

So when do the PDC step in and make comment on today's revelations. With the link of the GSOD they have every right to as this event has to be thrown into question.

Re: WDF has chucked out the BDO .......

boom. you heard it all here on TSOD first folks Good work. Looks more a removal of full membership to associate, though. Interesting because in the letter they also state the BDO shouldn't be a full member because they don't represent a Nation? So have they just removed something they didn't\not su...

Re: BDO Cash Grab!

They have to backtrack, at least delay it until October, and even then a lot of orgs will tell them to do one. But can they financially leave it till October? I think not. Two more majors have to be planned and played by then. The Worlds would have to planned and in place. With all the rumours and ...

Re: BDO Cash Grab!

Interesting that this decision was made by the BDO board of directors. First one isn't it :grin:

I wonder why!
Normally it's just Des that announced that he has done it all.

Re: BDO Cash Grab!

A good example will be the Dutch Open. NDB will be getting an invoice for about £1100 in January. They are usually the kind of organisation that will put out a quick reaction to something like this. So would expect them to let people know soon if they are carrying BDO ranking points or not. I would...

Re: BDO Cash Grab!

Dutch open will be about £10k as a rough guess with 5% paid and £2 from every entry. I have said for years countries should pay to have BDO points, It makes business sense to me, But they have never done this. Making the £2 levy is the BDO's way of trying to compete with the WDF IMO as I feel there...

Re: PDC 2020 Asian Tour

Nice to see some further growth. Wonder if they will try and go to India. Hong Kong and Malaysia must be other targets as both previously held events. Going to Japan or Philippines for a 2nd weekend would be the worst idea though. Why such a bad idea? I thought Japanese darts is on the up. Should h...

Re: 2020 PDC European Tour Shake up

Interesting marketing tool. It will also encourage some players from Czech Rep, Hungary and Gibraltar to try and join the tour.

Re: PDC World Championship- 13th December 2019- 1st January 2020 Alexandra Palace- London

Only 38 players in PDC World Championship Women's ROTW Qualifier. And then they cry about not having same prizemoney as the men And frankly the standard is appalling too. It’s not been great but the players at the top of the BDO rankings are in the latter stages. The standard will be no different t...
