Having ANY streamed or ranking event running alongside the World Cup would be a smack in the face, quite frankly.

An event scheduled AGAINST the WDF World Cup, of which the BDO is a member.

If true then heads need to roll.
Are Northern Ireland a BDO member ???

Nope. Which would make the suggestion they were offered £3k to go to the event even more of a smack in the face

Just googled hotels in glenrothes if you arrived Friday for 3 nights approx £180 a room.
Would need 10 rooms for a team , travel to Glenrothes from all over England , plane , train or car , plus players food allowance if 3k a correct figure it would help for sure but nowhere would cover event .
For Northern Ireland the costs would be considerably more , perhaps Lurgan could comment he is an NI official and was mentioned at Welsh Open .

So NI are sending 6 women on top of the 4 (?) who will be going to Japan and are presumably the better ones?

Dear lord. Cant imagine the standard will be up to much.

Ifm, rout and oche should be on the attack because you are criticising proper and pure darts.

why are the national organisations doing this?

To make money? To appease the players. To show their arrogance?
Try looking up our opinions on this before your pathetic trolling attempt.

Serious answers only would be appreciated.

Why are these national organisations putting this event on?

What do they actually gain?

No retort to my response to your trolling above?
No, because you love the hit n run don't you.

I think some events still have their merit but it does seem like overkill and events being put on purely because 'they have been traditionally'.

Lets be honest it's only catering for the same travelling crowd mostly these days.

Not quite :-) Its kind of proving a point that you can hardly tell these international events apart these days though.

Please do not talk about Northern Irish darts.

Rename the British Internationals as the UK Internationals, drop a couple of players and fit NI in that event.

This is like the time they had all the countries have a football tournament bar England and no-one cared.
