Six Nations, 20-23 June 2019, Assen (NL)

Are these national orgs just wasting their money putting on these events? Who benefits? I can se how the players benefit and you could argue its an incentive for players within the BDO system but when there are basically no fans going to watch (I read on here it was free and hardly no one came?) and little interest I think it all needs reviewing (the international side of the WDF/BDO).

I understand England darts was set up to fund the England team, thus they need to make profit on the comps they run but surely they can change the reason why they exist?

anyone know what kind of number of folk were watching the stream?

Read elsewhere that about 210 were watching it at one point.

Between 500 and 1000 during the final.

Or to put it into perspective, between 3.5-7% of the population of Saffron Walden.

The three streams Fri through Sunday had a total of 13k, 17k and 20k views respectively.

You require 60
First dart off the board. Shit. This Spaaridaans is hardly brilliant.

Isn't he the guy that averaged 60 in a BDO/WDF ranked final last year?

I wouldn’t be surprised David
