The actual increase to the ladies prize fund (from were the title gets.its inspiration) should be of interest.
how much is the increase. And we're does the increase come from. Surely they we wouldn't drop the top payment for the men.down to, say, £50,000 to fund it?

Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
No justification to keep the mens fund so high now that Durrant and the other best players have all gone.
Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
if the 100k dropped to 50k it's not going to encourage more folks to go to the pdc imo. Those who are staying are staying. And many of the young guys coming up have their eye on ally pally as the main goal.Astonvilla wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 3:47 pm No justification to keep the mens fund so high now that Durrant and the other best players have all gone.

But no reason to move the money to the women's game. Better to cut the top prize and bump up some of the earlier rounds.devosteve wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 4:38 pmif the 100k dropped to 50k it's not going to encourage more folks to go to the pdc imo.

The depth seems greater now in the women's game, but still it's too often in the low 70s and 60s once you get outside the top 5 or so.
Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
To me it would be sensible to drop the first prize and re distribute it to the earlier rounds..it makes sense...100k doesn't stop players attempting QS ..under the current rules they will go to QS regardless if they wish...100k was only ever brought it to compete with the PDC top prize at the time anyway and those days have gone....a re distribution of the prize fund would benefit far more players
Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
I agree with that make men’s 280k from 300 woman’s up to 55k money up each round in both
Men’s 2000 3500 5000 8000 17k 32k 70k 280k
Woman’s 1000 2000 5000 9000 20k 55k
Men’s 2000 3500 5000 8000 17k 32k 70k 280k
Woman’s 1000 2000 5000 9000 20k 55k

Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
Oh, I see, 'professional' as opposed to being played by 'professionals'.
Re: The BDO news that will shock everyone thread
Anyway, moving on...can anyone actually find a flight from the UK to Malaga, including checked baggage for less than £20, or even £40 return to get to and from the Torromolinos [sic] Open in March?
The BDO say they are available and I am sure they wouldnt lie.

Is DBG finally going to tell us the dirt he has on JC and Phil Davies?
