Comparing a minor event in a minor sport on a regional TV channel to the Grand National

A+ for effort.

OK I'll make it a little easier for you Ninge, it's not uncommon for an event to change sponsor, this has happened over the years in PDC tournaments as well.

Of course its not uncommon. How often do you see press releases from companies saying they are stopping sponsoring an event though, without a new one being named? Its all very odd.

Great strategy, publicise an attractive opportunity like this and get the sponsors in a bidding war.....

The commercial value of BDO ranked events to sponsors has plummeted, it is at an all,time low. In the meantime the commercial value of ODC events has rocketed to unprecedented levels. The BDO has never been in a worse position, I feel for the new chairman (not Des) as it is too far gone to make a comeback.

Or pull,out and let someone be the headline sponsor for nothing,

"the richest two day darts tournament on terrestrial TV" was a personal favourite of mine.

I think even this is incorrect, what's the prize fund of the Champions League Of Darts?

Well that wasnt around at the time. The point was that the Masters, at the time, was the ONLY two day darts tournament on terrestrial TV

Its like saying "the richest 7 day darts event held in an aircraft hanger just outside of Dublin"

You are trying to hard, if they obtained a sponsor for nothing then he wouldn't be a sponsor would he, he'd be a free rider........

What has the Oberlin Dance Collective got to do with anything?.......you are losing the plot, get out of the sun.

Remember this is probably a translation guys, what was that film with Bill Murray??

Caddyshack.

Loved that movie, the gofer had me laughing for days!!

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Remember this is probably a translation guys, what was that film with Bill Murray??

I thought the obvious choice would have been The Man Who Knew Too Little

[Astonvilla]

I think maybe Finders are putting on a brave face here after being outbid for next years tournament. They will probably sponsor the WDT next year instead.

'Outbid' by how much one wonders?

[Black Velvet]

the crying from paddy, oche, chris and BV who act like petulant children when anything negative is said about the bdo is hilarious.

They get paranoid and defensive like it is some sort of personal attack

Hello mate, hope you're well.

I am indeed, thanks for asking, we got to play the game

[Zeyes]

How can a darts tournament be "luxurious"?

I think that was an awkward allusion to what's usually phrased as "yes, the prize money may be crap by today's standards, but the players get treated really, really well there" around here.

Anyway, leaving aside Finder stepping back as title sponsor, it'll be interesting to see if they stick around at least as one of the minor sponsors of the event, or if they're totally gone.

[Bag Carrier]

Was much better when it was Doeland sponsoring it. Better choice of food in the VIP and more free beer tokens

Absolutely!
