2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January

[Rout]

Fun night ahead

Potentially, but personally think the vast majority of our membership just want to post about darts and discuss the issues without being subject to, and subjecting other members to the abusiveness that the minority resort to.

Yet 90% of posts are about the bdo, the EDO and its officials, very little about actual darts anywhere, just bias.

I can't I'm afraid.
You're asking the wrong person mate.

It won't be on my TV.

Out of interest, how many of the current BDO top 10 are professional, in the correct sense that darts is their primary income and have no other employment?

I would hazard a guess that the highest ranked professional dart player is Daryl Fitton at 18th.

So 17 people are outperforming a guy who makes his living from darts?

Sounds like the system is in quite rude health, given all the hype about the recent disasters

It refers to how well it's run.

Surprised to see Cameron Menzies on the cusp of the cut-off, he was a shoe-in a few months ago.

In any case I guess he would get in via the UK regional table (without looking)
