The BDO Unofficial & Unregulated World Darts Championships 4-12 Jan 2020 Indigo at the O2

[ChrisW]

They have nailed it

[foggs3355]

So apparently the men’s prize money will still be 300k going by the weekly darts interview with des but the woman’s will now be

Winner 20.000
Runners up 10.000
Semis 4000
Quarter final 2000
Last 16 1000

No word on sponsor he said might be 1 big one covering it all or separate one for men’s and woman’s

[Ginge]

"Might"

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

He does himself no favours, does he?

[Ginge]

He does himself no favours, does he?

Leave Des alone.

As an aside, i might go to the Moon later on this morning.

[ChrisW]

Interview with Uncle Des. Starts at 10'00
Discussion on Indigo and Circus Tavern starts at the beginning of the podcast.

So the mind blowing increase and figures are basically a damp squib. 4 gs to get to the semi.
Pathetic

[ChrisW]

From 29k to 54k for the ladies, Significant increase.

[BlueSpark]

So not even 20% of the men’s fund
I’m sure everyone is shocked at the increase

[foggs3355]

From 29k to 54k for the ladies, Significant increase.

Good increase but I think big gap From semis to runner up 5k for semi might have looked lesstop heavy but vast improvement

[ChrisW]

Des clarifying that he doesn't see the BDO as competing with the PDC,

[Deleted User]

Like the Masters, I await the announcement of both the prize money and sponsorship, before passing comment on the success of the BDO/Sportotal.

Yes, I judge success on prize money and sponsorship too. Really adds to the excitement, doesn't it.

Nice try. But events don't happen without those things.
If the BDO are paying the prize money instead of Potter it will break them unless they generate the revenue elsewhere.

No sign of that yet.

[Ginge]

Hes going to have to compete to get the Ally Pally crowd in.

Oi oi oi!!!

Oh and Drupes, you are an utter wally.

[devosteve]

couple of interesting points:

he did say they considered a venue outside of the uk!

And also after the ref team resigned one of the sponsors pulled out (citing the resignations as the reason) but Des talked then back on board. Wonder who that was?

And one of the refs to be named, will be a massive talking point.

And he favours ladies darts over the mens game.

Actually not a bad interview.

[Ginge]

Cant think why he claims to prefer the ladies game. Nope, no idea at all. A proper puzzler that one.

Seens he also said the old refs should never have gone on social media the other week to mass resign. And for no reason whatsoever, this is worth a repost....

You have something in common then

An ex player would be a good talking point for a ref. Should happen more. Although I assume it will be a woman given his comment

[oche balboa]

Good interview from Des

[oche balboa]

I reckon it’s a woman which will be the talking point

[Ginge]

Yes, Skewball already said that.

Good thinking, Skewy!
