I think the bdo are going to get a shock if they think everything will go back to how it was.

The concept of not having bdo points anyway has become a reality to many organisations I reckon.
All of a sudden the bdo no longer have that ace in their pack : folks NEED our points. No they don't. Not now.

What a farce. They dont respond for days , until everyone says they dont want the points and then someone other than Des backtracks ... !!

They really are the gift that keeps giving. They desperately need replacing or just let Home Countries run it.

As the WDF exclusion was based on draw fixing, even if the farcical World Pro goes ahead it will still be unofficial and unsanctioned.

Says it was a proposal, you can't backtrack a proposal.
I don't understand the angst here.
Can somebody explain what they did in this instance that was so bad?"

Ifm to the rescue of the board on fanatics.

But immediately shot down by folks pointing out it wasn't a proposal. A date was set when the fees kicked in.

is he just spoofing folk on there, on the beer or genuine?

Couldn’t even sign a ‘retraction’ himself. Says it all.

Hmmm... I can't see, that Frank B. was the initiator of all that, for this season, as he only in august 2019 stated, that "the terms under which events for this periode were booked will be honoured in full" and that he sees "no change in categories and prize funds", when he was asked if there will be major changes for BDO-ranked tournaments in the 2019/20 periode, because the organizers of tournaments must know, if they can afford to do, what they plan.

Anyways, I also know, that numerous countries of continental europe seriously consider to dump the BDO-Points totaly and back the WDF fully.

Interesting times these are...

Seems like a no win situation for the players. Do they go for BDO or WDF ranked points.
And which 2020-21 tournaments are they aiming for?

It's difficult.. There's been a lot of BDO points already won and more to come and these are vastly different to the WDF points... Once the new WDF season starts do they start a table from scratch and ignore all the BDO points so far allocated ?
Players do need to know what is happening going forward and need to know now
