Re: WDF has chucked out BDO .......
I got my info off here and decided to share on Facebook.
It's a real personal concern on mine as BDO darts in Russia is recognised due to being under the WDF umbrella. Remember Russia had darts as a guest sport in the Olympics under IOC.

Re: WDF has chucked out the BDO .......
If the BDO is not a member of the WDF then support for BDO events (not that there are many of course) will drain away. Most countries will not bother offering BDO points. It also enables the WDF to run their own majors and call them World without feeling guilt/allegiance to the BDO.
The BDO will be cast adrift. We talk a lot about the beginning of the end for the BDO, but this definitely is a mark in the ground.

So TT has posted on FB that he’s received a letter today from the WDF but he’s not saying what it says.
So why post that on FB then FFS.

This rumour is the wrong way round. The big new sponsors Des has got mean they dont need the WDF anymore and dont want them to continue to hold them back. Its the BDO that has given the WDF the boot.
Re: WDF has chucked out the BDO .......

"I have received a communication from the WDF today and informed our membership of its contents. I will not be posting the contents of their letter as it is the property of the WDF and as such it is for them to make their document public should they choose, but it does have ramifications for players around the world and in the UK, including players who are members of England."
So who are the EDO "membership"?

Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals.
Too complicated for me just a secondary modern educated Northerner, and loads of words with more than 4 letters in them, which I am sure as a few of your posters refer too, could not possibly written by me.
Not Guilty I am afraid.

Things are certainly looking brighter for the EDO going forward.
