The BDO did not get their way when choosing their representatives in the Grand Slam of Darts this year, with the PDC overruling their nominations. Eight slots were allotted to BDO players this year, with Glen Durrant, Lisa Ashton, Mikuru Suzuki, Jim Williams, Wesley Harms, Richard Veenstra, Dave Parletti and Wayne Warren filling them.

There was not too much controversy over the eight names picked to appear in Wolverhampton in November, but BDO chairman Des Jacklin has admitted that it did not match the list he suggested to the PDC. ‘Had the BDO’s picks been the BDO’s picks, the eight names that are in the Grand Slam event would be different to the names in the Grand Slam event now. End of.’ Jacklin told the Weekly Dartscast. It was known that the PDC had the final say on picks in the Grand Slam, with the event firmly under its own banner, merely offering invitations to BDO players.

PDC chief executive Matthew Porter told Live Darts before the picks were announced: ‘We had a good meeting with Des Jacklin and his commercial advisers, he’s got a set of challenges that he’s facing himself and I don’t envy him, I think he’s doing his best. ‘I made it clear to him that ultimately the players that play in that tournament is the PDC’s decision. We like to work with the BDO, we accept their nominations, we review them and comment on them.’ On how much input the BDO had over their picks, ITV pundit Chris Mason told Live Darts: ‘Not a lot, you’ve got to remember the PDC is a successful commercial brand, they want what’s best and I think they pretty much nailed it.’

One name that is believed to have been on the BDO’s list is Nick Kenny, who insists that he was ‘guaranteed’ a place at this year’s event. The Welshman tweeted: ‘I was told I was one of the eight at the end of the season through my sponsor who was in contact with the BDO CEO. Later I learned that PDC ultimately made the choice and Duzza [Glen Durrant] would be in.’

Kenny, who goes into the 2020 BDO World Championship as the sixth seed, confirmed to Metro.co.uk that he was disappointed to be left out, after being promised a spot. Having met the BDO’s requirements to be nominated for the Grand Slam, Kenny was under the impression his spot was secure, but missed out as the PDC were keen to have reigning BDO world champion, but current PDC player, Durrant involved. While his non-selection is not the BDO’s fault, the Welshman is going through a tough time, having sat out of the World Masters with a broken foot and missing out on Wolverhampton has been another kick in the teeth, which he could have avoided if he hadn’t been told his Grand Slam place was safe.
