The difference is mate, compared to the PDC/WDF scenario of 1994, is that the top 16 BDO lads wouldn't have the clout to attract sponsors and organisers to run big events. At the time of the split the breakaway players had some really good professional people in tow. The split was a unique thing as...

Ps this will only work if we get enough Handi-capable people at the event! Or there is a wrist-band. Ah yeah but surely the bar people would catch on if their were no Handi-capable but with the Disability Darts Assocation being in attendance(and i seem to think they were getting wristbands) and the...

With the BDO boards reputation slightly floundering(whoever was using the Hhhh puns i just had to get one in there :) ) and the seeming reliance on the top 16 to draw people to their tournaments will the power shift to those top players? Slightly reminiscent to the split of organizations years ago, ...

Right figured out how to make some money from this event from punters who don't get the free bar! 1 Buy a detachable prosthetic arm £3ish 2 Strap arm behind back and wear prosthetic 3 Get wrist band placed on this arm 4 Lend arm to people at £1 per time to use your wristband to get drinks. 5 Then! m...

I hope the BDO is aware that they didn't put the group heads in the correct order for a seeded draw, and adjusts accordingly for the knockout rounds. Not that somebody's complaining "why is the #1 seed facing the #3 seed in the semifinals" on the Sunday... Don't just,just,just don't give ...

Looks like some good match up's that I ain't seen before(hopefully i'll get to see it either streamed or Periscope?) Group A . I can see Glen Durrant winning this group just pipping Dean Reynolds to 2nd place, don't think if Ted tries any tactics it will bother Glen at all but it might just lead to ...

Well if this event wants to be promoted off we go!

But can we have a list of groups and players that are confirmed please(or is the 1st post still correct?) so we can properly chat about it and see which matches peak our interest at all?

When the schedule doesn't clash, would it not be in your best interests to field the strongest available team? Your county could the promote the players and maybe draw in some of the PDC fans, to see that player and experience county. Again a lot of the debate centers around depriving a player of p...

Think it was 40 entrants again this week. Some great finals that swung both ways and some great checkouts under pressure! 5th Qualifier Ian Lever 3 Pete Taylor 2 Ave 82.72 v 72.55 6th Qualifier Rob Rickwood 3 Con Nagi 2 Ave 86.89 v 79.95 Think we had 8 entrants 1st Ladies Qualifier Carole Fenton 2nd...

Big matches after the Worlds are always interesting to watch, to see who's up for it this year,or has a defeat at the Worlds destroyed them?.(Or has to much Christmas Pud put there balance off ;-) ) Though I wonder if Chris could tell us whether a "sets" tournament has been pitched for ITV...

It's good to see some debates happening now and I think we all want the coverage and player recognition. My view from the past is that in most threads there is about 25% of information people would find interesting and then want to contribute,but sifting through most of the usual "boys banter&q...

Did you miss off that list solicitors informed?

What about commentating on the sport to earn an extra living? He's a bright bloke and with a media training course behind him i think he would be more informative than "most" of what we have now. I believe he's got other aspirations in media/journalism right now. That being said, he was c...

Could that be something to do with Childminding laws? and the number of people to watch over the kids,though i expect most parents to be there!

I was going to suggest a title edit, as i'm sure i read it as quit.(Ps i don't want to be the pedant police :) ) EDIT: You Change it cheers. Unicorn don't seem to make the players change the design of their darts,to make extra cash for themselves to often(bar taylor and barney?) does this show a mor...

Derby is far enough north, I guess. Wasnt there the PDC place in Stockport? Yep my geography's rubbish :banghead: ,that's quite a good centralized location. The stockport thing rings a bell though. I think i'd pay to see that just to see the standard and grade of a well attend youth competition,als...

My geography not that good(well about as good as that super-series poster) but there's not any events up north. Are the any academy's around or starting up north at all?
