BDO tournaments no longer recognised by WDF and BDO relegated to Associate Member

[BlueSpark]

I have undertaken the duty with enthusiasm and have used the opportunity to further my commitment to bring back the credibility, professionalism, financial stability and forward thinking that our great organisation was once renowned for.

I stopped there as I was laughing so much

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

I stopped reading his facebook post at "I wouldn't normally post this sort of thing on social media" because at that point it was obviously a load of bollocks.

Did I miss much?

[Ginge]

Has any player of note made a comment on all this anywhere?

Thought it would be a perfect excuse for Nick Kenny to put the boot in again.

Is anyone going to arrange a get well soon card on behalf of all of us here.

Could put a load of fake name from the Masters draw in it, that would perk him up.

Fanatics (?) turning on him. From Oche's Twitter....

And Kane has decided to attack him

From Des

Dear all Counties,
As I am sure most of you are aware the BDO have received a formal letter from the WDF. The BDO board felt we ought to write to you all now to keep you in the picture so to speak.
I received the same letter that you have all seen on social media (and the same letter circulated by England darts) from the WDF yesterday 3rd December, this was the first contact I had with the WDF regarding this issue.
I can confirm that the BDO have had no opportunity to defend itself and it would seem that the WDF have acted purely on information gathered from social media and hearsay.
Social media is playing a huge part in this issue with statements being made from many players and County officials, (all names have been noted) even the England chairman has completely ignored the legal disclaimer on the bottom of the letter and sent it out to all Counties ?
This issue is now in the hands of the BDO Solicitor and after initial consultation with our legal advisers, it would seem that this letter from the WDF is in many ways unlawful.
In my estimation it feels like the BDO are trying to introduce a strategy to become self-supporting in trying to get ourselves into a position of stability, but we are not allowed to do that ? It just feels like every day is another battle with someone trying to kill the company.
What I can tell you all is that in any event the County system will not be affected.
I will not go into to much more detail but I do promise you updates as and when I get them. Regards
Des Jacklin

The evidence is all there for the wrong number of seeds in the draw

[BlueSpark]

Don’t really see how it could be unlawful tbh.
Bang to rights the lot of them

[Skewball]

My God the man is deluded.

Names have been noted

why put that in? It looks embarrassing, unprofessional. and obviously a hint of discipline to come.

The bdo is crumbling around him and this is the initial reaction.

I do wonder if he will admit the mistakes he made at the masters or continually blame it on social media.

Oh and it looks like TT is back in his' bad books'!

[The Jolly Man]

No matter whether the BDO have broken any rules surely the WDF have the right to remove members as they see fit.

What they need to do now though is remove Catalonia as they don't represent a country. Otherwise part of their argument doesn't stand up.
