I thought it would be Ian who came along with the ..'ah but it only says you need to provide a link to BDO by 14 days, not that the link itself will be made public 14 days before the event.'
I did not think you would stoop to those pedantic levels .. :)
They did recently say "it is not our usual policy to advertise what we do", so perhaps Rout's reading does reflect the intention of the rule...

I also don't know how all this computes with Stehphen Holland writing to Wayne saying this...

Unless there is an anonymous sponsor who is paying for the Prize Fund!!!

"The board have a policy that they are not prepared to sanction a tournament without a guarantee that they will at least break even. On your proposal above, looking at the comparable variable figures from last years’ event, it is highly likely the BDO will suffer a loss and therefore the BDO cannot accept this proposal or sanction the tournament on this basis. The board of the BDO will be prepared to enter into a commercial Agreement and sanction the tournament on the following basis:"

Am I seriously reading that I am being called pedantic for questioning why it's being claimed that the bdo have broken their own rules by not informing themselves of the Web address of a stream?

"Hello British darts organisation? How can I help?"

"Hi can I speak with Sue Williams please?"

"I'm sorry she's just on the other line at the moment. Who is calling please?"

"It's Sue Williams."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"Yes I'm just calling to inform you of the Web address for the stream for a bdo organised tournament"

"OK it is sue you'll need to speak to"

"She's on the phone everytime I call. Getting sick of this"

"Please hold"

..........

"I just managed to grab hold of her whilst she was on a call as luckily she was on hold. She said everytime she's tried to phone you back you've been engaged."

Just on the tram on the way home from work. Some ticket inspectors got on. Got asked for my ticket, after showing him I asked the guy whether he had a valid ticket and he said he didn't have one and didn't need one.

It clearly says no persons can board without a ticket for travel. Rest assured I'll be contacting the authorities about this blatant rule breach
