Well the World Masters is the BDO's own event, so thats not in the scope of this....my understanding is that the BDO run the "World Championship" and pay a peppercorn amount to the WDF to do so. A grand a year or something ridiculously tiny.Addicks Fan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:29 pmI was just thinking that - what is the agreement between WDF and BDO for the World Champs and World Masters?Ginge wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:13 pmThat begs the next question....how long do the BDO have on the existing "tender"?nikkiboy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:12 pmIndeed, time to tender out the running of the World Championships to the world be it in the US, Canada, Netherlands or UK.bukowski wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:08 pm the WDF Cups always are good organised...former Tournament Director Roy Price did a great job...

Could the WDF quickly organise an alternative World Championships to take place in a month or so?

And even that wasnt accurate, they were comparing their peak figure with the PDC average one

The WDF is useless, toothless and shite. It doesn't do anything, it doesn't run anything, WDF cups are run and organised by the host country. Bill Hatter will be fekkin gettin it when he bumps into the Jacklin Corporation.bukowski wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:08 pm the WDF Cups always are good organised...former Tournament Director Roy Price did a great job...

Glen Durrant is the last official BDO World Champion then. Congrats.

Surely the indigo must look at this as nothing short of embarrassing and a disaster.
As an aside, has a deluge of tickets now been snapped up after Waynes attempt?

Re: BDO tournaments no longer recognised by WDF and BDO relegated to Associate Member
Lots of tournaments stopped paying the WDF levy. England, Scotland, N Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, USA and Australia all had very few if any adult WDF-ranked tournaments in 2019. Interestingly the Australians have made all their tournaments WDF ranked for 2020, along with the Scottish Open. I wonder if they knew which way the wind was blowing?

Roger would just have handed the trophies to Chizzy, men and women.
England, Scotland and Wales (currently) aren't real countries, are they? The UK is?
Re: BDO tournaments no longer recognised by WDF and BDO relegated to Associate Member
is it possible for someone to cut and paste the contents of the letter please? Can't read that one (too small print) and when I save it onto comp and make it bigger the words all 'dissolve'.
cheers.
oh and I hope the forum gets credit for breaking this news.
