If I was in charge of the WDF and the UK teams went to this proposed event in Scotland. I would put a blanket ban on all teams that attend until after the next World Cup.

But let's be honest, What do these countries contribute to the WDF in terms of finance.

We pay a membership and English players would pay a fair amount on Levies , looks like Belgium have stopped paying the levy as well .
We paid it from London event , BDO, Wales and Scotland don't pay levy .

they can do what they want, nobody have to travel around the world for a WORLD Cup...and because they cant finance the travel to Japan at least they give the own players something to play for (guess its not that much cheaper)...might they think "can you see, we do something for the players"

i'm just waiting for a bid from them to host a WORLD Cup in the next few years 8-)

You think it's alright just to run your own rival international event against the official World Cup?

Imagine if it happened in football. Well it wouldn't happen as the world governing body wouldn't allow it or would sanction those that do.
