Jacklin - Empire building
So Des has appointed Jeff Smith as players rep for Canada and is also going to have a players rep in the USA and Australia etc. Thought he was on the board of the BDO not the WDF? Appointing who he wants with the players having no say whatsoever, democracy at its finest.
Re: Jacklin - Empire building
Jeff Smith does a great job promoting darts.

One would assume that it only applies to events where BDO points are on offer, seems sensible to me tbh.Serpo wrote:So Des has appointed Jeff Smith as players rep for Canada and is also going to have a players rep in the USA and Australia etc. Thought he was on the board of the BDO not the WDF?

I look forward to the reports of him strutting around at the EDO events then, looking over everyones shoulders and making sure Tommy is doing the draw correctly ....

England events at Selsey in September should be good. Everything better be in order because Des will not stand for any of Tommy's bullshit.Skewball wrote:nikkiboy wrote:One would assume that it only applies to events where BDO points are on offer, seems sensible to me tbh.Serpo wrote:So Des has appointed Jeff Smith as players rep for Canada and is also going to have a players rep in the USA and Australia etc. Thought he was on the board of the BDO not the WDF?

The Selsey events are normally run very well, why would Des be overseeing the EDO draw?Serpo wrote:England events at Selsey in September should be good.

Re: Jacklin - Empire building
Englands draw will list seeds and alpha lists on the day stated , will allow 24 hours for Des and anyone else interested to study for omissions or mistakes , then draw will be done .nikkiboy wrote:The man who oversaw the Turkey draw will be overseeing EDO draws to make sure they're done right, oh the ironingSerpo wrote:England events at Selsey in September should be good.

All we hope for then is BDO website doesn't then update rankings incorrectly as it happens then updates them correctly in the same day .
In their defence this was when David Ballantine was handing over the running of the tables , someone updated table but didn't take off last seasons event , but David and his successor sorted out .
David Ballantine is a great addition to the EDO and with Dawn Speed do the England rankings .

Re: Jacklin - Empire building
Why do the EDO have rankings when they make no difference to the selection of the England side ?
or do they ?

I know theres at least one tournament that uses England rankings to determine who qualifies.el_ringo wrote:Why do the EDO have rankings when they make no difference to the selection of the England side ?

Think its called the EDO matchplay and for the top 8. Not 100% but something like that.

What does the EDO / BDO side of the game have most of ranking tables ? or committees ?

Re: Jacklin - Empire building
Correct Routy winners of IOM open , 4 ranked Selsey opens then go down rankings until you have 8 men 8 women they are invited to the event , if they don't accept you go down the England rankings .Rout wrote:I know theres at least one tournament that uses England rankings to determine who qualifies.el_ringo wrote:Why do the EDO have rankings when they make no difference to the selection of the England side ?
