An opportunity for the PDC
An opportunity for the PDC
I don't think Porter/Hearn would be interested for one minute, but....
Should the PDC apply to the WDF to be the British representative in place of the BDO?
Let EDO, WDO etc run the counties and other Open events and the PDC run the professional side and thus reunify the game worldwide and have one single unified World Championship with qualifying routes from all around the globe.
Crazy, I know. But you heard it here first.

No, because just like the BDO they dont represent just one "country".

What you laughing at? Go and read the WDF letter where it says exactly this.

Re: An opportunity for the PDC
Surely if they were an associate member then they would be WDF sanctioned, as the BDO were?

Re: An opportunity for the PDC
That comment still doesnt explain why you laughed at my suggestion that the BDO dont represent a "country".

Indeed, because I think David's suggestion is garbage.
No offence, David.

Re: An opportunity for the PDC
' A long-running legal battle followed and ended with a Tomlin order in 1997. The BDO recognised the WDC and the right of players to choose which organisation they played for. In return, the WDC recognised the World Darts Federation as the governing body of world darts, the BDO as the governing body of UK darts, and renamed itself the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).'
I presume now the PDC can easily cease to recognise the BDO as the governing body of UK darts

The PDC recognise the DRA as the governing body of darts. The WDF have nothing of intrest to the PDC at all.

Re: An opportunity for the PDC
Who cares? Certainly not the PDC or Barry Hearn.
The BDO and the WDF are an utter irrelevance to them. They are the main body of world darts. They hold the true world champiuonship of world darts. They know it, the players know it and the fans know it.
A bit of pointless bureaucracy isn't going to make any difference to them, how they are viewed or their ability to put on a product that is attractive to the sponsors/players/public.
