Perhaps for the better that those matches weren't televised...

Maybe they saw the bookings for the hotel and decided against it.
4years ago Tony O, Darryl, JBW , Martin Phillips, Bag carrier , dean Winstanley etc , ladies had Deta,Julie gore,rhian edwards Dee Bateman,Jan Robbins ,Karen Lawman nee Smith and even Anastasia was there for the pairs as couldnt do singles as still pdc .

If the new proposed points system comes into play the points for these events unfortunately may become irrelevant for the players.

still get 24 points which will be useful, just checked the results wasn't the strongest field for an A Cat event, but I suppose you can only beat whos there.

What's been proposed then?

I am hearing that the Turkish darts federation have made a complaint about racist comments being made on FB. This could get interesting.

Hope this does not get the LDO in any trouble as they remarks were from one of there board members. They have just got WDF recognition.

Yes thankfully it was removed. Not nice when things get personal and racial.

It certainly is not. Hope those that are involved in that have been named.

When reading it, it didn't come over well with the descriptions of the Turkish folk: a term that was repeated. Even if the complaints were justified I think some folks do need to watch that don't move into the "personal and racial".

On a side note (and please note I am not saying the folks here are racist) there does at times seem to be an arrogance (or at least an undercurrent) with some British players/supporters when it comes down to BDO matters re other nations. Guess many still think (as I did once) that the BDO are the world governing body: and without the BDO all non PDC darts events etc would collapse.

If lakeside ever moves to Eurosport (ie no BBC coverage) it will only take one major player in Europe to do a similar deal with another hotel/complex owner in their country (like the lakeside deal, were Potter pays because he makes money doing so with guests etc) and have equal coverage as the BDO could offer - ie the Eurosport quality. That would be a game changer indeed and a real wake up call for many/some in the BDO system who think the BDO are indispensable. At the moment no one will move to run the WDF world cup whilst the BBC are showing it.

I do wonder if some Europeans are getting a bit tired with being dictated (perhaps too strong a word) to by the Brits? The Romanian event with the ladies and the comments here about the Turkish folks won't have helped imo.

From facebook and written by the Scropain apparently. Sounds a bit exaggerated to my ears.

It's now 00.45 in Kemer Turkey, we have just played the singles, Sam Sam Hewson played in the last 16, an absolute wonderful man who tried to cheat at every opportunity, every antic he cud do , he did, including actually talking to Sam while he was throwing, Sam eventually won, and the room full of Turkish was in uproar, they put in a complaint about Sam, and said he was a cheat, but cud not say how he cheated. About 30 mins later Sam had to play another Turkish man in the semi final, it was obvious from the start that this man was after SAMs blood, quite literally, after each and every time the Turkish guy took his darts out the board, he walked up the oche and actually shoulder barged Sam several times, and all the time he did this he was calling Sam disgusting names in Brocken English, at one point the man stepped back from the ache saveral paces until he found Sam's foot, then stamped on it, Sam pushed the guy off him, the guy then turned around and shoved Sam so hard he flew past the next boards oche, at that, every Turkish man in the place surround Sam, at the time I was supporting Paula playing her quarter finals, I rushed over to Sam as he left the building, lots of things happened over the next 30 mins, including a telephone call from myself to sue and Wayne Williams to complain about the way the category A Turkish open was being run, I told the organisers that this Turkish man should be disqualified from the event, but all the organiser ( john Williams ) would say was, Sam has to play or forfeit the last 8, even after Boeing assaulted twice on the oche,Those of you who know Sam, know that this severely upset him, and a win at this point was unlikely, Sam agreed to play under duress and the inevitable happened, Sam lost 4-2, the wonderful smelly Turkish man was then mobbed by every Turk in the room, it was like watching the final scene in rocky where they all get into the ring and lift rocky up above their heads, I really don't think I have witnesses anything as wonderful in my entire life, it's completely ruined a fantastic week, I will be putting a letter of complaint into the BDO and WDF first thing Monday morning, the entire incident was handled totally wrong.

Careful Ginge, you'll get the author in trouble with the disciplinary committee.......

[Ginge]

If you think they are like that, why do you want to run a ranking event there? All very odd if you ask me.

Maybe they had a surplus of rubber dingies and extra shirts to keep people warm before trafficking some people back, maybe to work on housebuilding

Its almost as bizarre as a teenage boy letting his parents use his Facebook account.
