Indeed. Would be impractical to have to use 36 different dart boards for each fixture.Skewball wrote:Nodevosteve wrote:so unicorn becoming the new dart board for the counties if Edward Lowy has met with the leaders of the 3 nations I guess.

If no then why would is he involved? For the love of the game? Or to secure unicorn as the brand of the only professional world champs?

Re: Big meeting on Sunday
I think so yes.
He has to be careful of competition laws , I'm sure he knows that
Re: Big meeting on Sunday
What competition is there? Tommy et al long ago upset WInmau and those boards used at the O2 were harder than a non soaked log end board

"So; the rumours of a conspiracy against the BDO were true then. Ladies and gentlemen I give you... the Tri Nations!
Don't believe the crap that it was set up to protect the grass roots of the game. That would imply that a hasty get together decided to form an entity to save the game as it looked like the BDO was going to be in serious problems after losing the backing of the WDF. It wasn't.
By their own admission this has been in the planning for the past two years. TWO years!!
That would be around the time the old guard were being kicked off the board and Des Jacklin would be taking over then.
Who is going to be on the Tri Nations top table? Members of said "old guard", former BDO directors? Surely not, you cry, after all it was partly their fault the BDO is in the state it is in the first place!
As Michael Owens says in a thread further down "they didn’t even give DJ a chance let alone support the attempt at keeping ‘grass roots’ darts alive".
I couldn't put it better myself.
However a thought comes to mind; Are these the snakes in the grass of grass roots darts?
According to them there was no conspiracy. According to the facts...."

Re: Big meeting on Sunday
CT/DT can't be scheduled during the 15 PC weekends or UK Open.
The 5 CT and 5 DT weekends can't clash. They are scheduled during ET and other PDC tournaments.
You don't want clashes with the major association tournaments.
Now try to fit in the 9 county weekends in with no clashes with PCs (because top CT players play in them), CT or DT.
The early PDC schedule is obvious and packed.
Mid January: Q School
+1 week Last January: CT Weekend 1
+1 week Start of February: Masters
Next weekends in Feburary: PCs
The BICC scheduled February 8th/9th, which clashed with PC weekend 1.
Was that the PDC's fault?

Obviously it starts with moving the Masters after PC 1/2, because that's logical.
Re: Big meeting on Sunday
I dont have a suggestion. Merely making the point that its the PDC who are scheduling their events against county, and not the other way round.

Re: Big meeting on Sunday
The PDC are not scheduling their events against County darts, merely planning both Challenge and Development Tour weekends around spaces in the PDC calendar.
