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

Don’t they have 4 weeks to pay

21 days from the tournament end so still time for Des to pay out....... or not

no people are going to enter any events being organised until they have paid out all monies due for previous events, are they?

but most events are advertised with bdo and wdf points so I think they will. If a comp just has bdo points then I agree players wouldn't/shouldn't enter that.

[Chunky wilbur]

How did that compare to 2019 one at lakeside

Think the final last year got 110,200 on eurosport and 260,000 on quest, 370,200 in total but obviously not on quest this year

The final was on Quest but didnt get that many or it would have been in the weekly top 15.

I'm just going off barb and Wikipedia for those figures though Wikipedia can be a pile of dung a lot of the time

Des has a few genuine supporters on Facebook (all deluded) and A couple of White Knight trolls on here.

But not one single player (Paula aside) has anything positive to say about his catastrophic tenure at the top of the BDO.

An incompetent buffoon who has lived off bizarre fixed draws, plummeting prize money, false promises and embarrassing attendances.

How he is still in charge is a complete mystery.

[Black Velvet]

Because no-one else wants to, what's the fucking point at this stage?

it's not the points though is it, it's who organises it and if it's run by an organisation that is known to be skint and not paying it's bills then they can have no complaints at becoming true amateurs

A point frequently overlooked. The way some carry on you'd think there was a list of apprentice style applicants ready in waiting.

[devosteve]

Not sure if he will get paid! Astounding thing to say.

Warren will be devastated if he doesn't get his £23,000.

The next event run by BDO is Torremolinos in March, I think we'll know by then whether or not they can honour their prize money.

The Dutch production company may be first in line to empty the bank account.

You are wrong, as always.

Scott Mitchell has said that Des has a strong work ethic. Putting in 80 hour weeks. He's also said that Des has faced a lot of obstacles.

Look, we all know he isn't right for the job. It's not just that he is overworked. His attitude and decision-making have left a lot to be desired. But there is no need to take things to extremes. At the the minute, the BDO needs to concentrate of survival. I would let Martin take over for the meantime in conjunction with a few others.

Village idiots like yourself do not help matters.

That's such a Robson post. Even if it isn't Robson.
We know that Wazza is a complete troll and when he spews that lunacy it's just more proof of that.

His ego won’t allow it.

[Wazza180]

Adams is perhaps not the right man for the job. Still, he is the right man for the job at present time. He knows all the players and TV companies. He loves the sport and is respected by all involved.

He gets my vote.

[Ginge]

Can you please cite what experience Martin Adams has of dealing with TV companies for significant broadcasting contracts, please.
