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

Post by Skewball »

The World Governing body of Darts, WDF has downgraded BDO to Associate Member and no longer recognises BDO tournaments
....



This really is the beginning of the end.....

Home Nation bodies (EDO etc) will now run darts in UK.

WDF will run a new major next year. Effectively the new 'World' Championships.

Seems a bit harsh if that was the only offence.

Clearly starting to view forum now. 622 users on line as we speak. Record could go when members of both fanatic sites come on to read. ;-)

A so far unsourced bit of very negative news released on Original Fanatics?
