Grosvenor Casino sponsored the British Internationals last year didnt they? Don't remember the youth being barred

Just looked where Tony O'Shea is in the rolling table. Wasn't a million miles off an automatic spot.

The rules would look plain bizarre if he has qualified as of right. It's clearly an error in them, though.

No I read it as an event rule 3(b) on WDT rules
BDO inv criteria rules are different so able to play in A+ , A's or any other Wes played Scotland and IOM , Dean IOM

Nah, the only thing that would make Wes/Dean et al ineligible now is if they played in a Pro Tour (or a ET?).

They are both shit so it's irrelevant wether they play or not.

Leave the buffoon alone.

[only85]

Nope. But it will be better then last year

Won’t sell out but i think be the best attended one out of the 4 staged so far, still a decent darts town depreston

Youth played same venue as poker stars sponsored the open at IOM .
At Brit Ints we just covered up Grosvenor casinos when kids played , knew Mr Knowledge would bite

So why is it only an issue seemingly for one darts organisation? You get round it, World Snooker get round it, no doubt others get round it.

It's all very odd.

Those in charge of the BDO are on a par with those in charge of England .

Indeed, one gets around it by banning all kids all the time, but that's ok.

As opposed to you who run a very successful self promotion organization .

Lots of football teams are sponsored by beer companies and betting firms yet many 17 year old players still play for them and wear the shirt

And now choosing to use a darts forum to unravel its reputation

[Zapp Brannigan]

Deans confirmed he spoke with the BDO and they have said the rules are wrong and its only tour card holders not allowed to play.

You would think someone would fucking proof read articles before they are posted.

Glad someone sorted it out with Labanauskas playing euro tour in Austria

Rule 3(b) has seemingly been in since 1st WDT , I suppose with PDC saying all CT players are associate members and pro tour reserves picked from CT oom and not QS IOM it's muddied the waters , can see rule being reworded .

The BDO board couldn't run a bath, they can't even get the easy things right. The sooner a new board is in place the better, but if it is run by Des Selecta then God help them.

[nikkiboy]

If they constantly get the basics of the rules wrong then them stepping down is a wise move.

In term of ticket sales this will be a fiasco.

The general public simply do not know or recognise the top BDO players these days. This event is for die hards only and we all know what happened last year.

A Facebook group with 5000 members who call themselves "fanatics" showed exactly how "fanatical" they really are.

The BDO has lost the TV battle to the PDC and it's a vicious circle. No TV coverage = unknown players = no public interest = no TV coverage.

Just for reference this place is called "the stars of darts"
