What's the cut off date for qualifying for Lakeside?

[Skewball]

Has MVG won this yet?

[The Jolly Man]

Will Jamie Hughes be put back into the rankings? Where would he be?

[Ginge]

Will Jamie Hughes be put back into the rankings? Where would he be?

Given the new "era" only starts from the 1st October, he wont be put back in them until then anyway, by which point the Lakeside cutoff has been and gone, so its irrelevant really. And would only have his points from the back end of last year (and Lakeside at the start of this)

Re no announcement of tv yet there’s 1 broadcaster no body has mentioned & it’s Amazon there coverage starts of French open & will be very interesting to see how it goes after the problems YouTube had with the soccer World Cup & the octus had streaming for the Australian market for your £35 prime subscription ( I think it is) your going to want something to watch on those dark days in January,

Why would Amazon or any company that did not have an imbecile in charge want BDO darts.

Seriously , name a good reason why anyone would pay lump sums for a product that is an object of ridicule, gets pathetic viewers, run by the most useless amateurs etc.

just name one good reason

[Ginge]

French Open is on ITV for starters. And isn't until May.

[malcy93]

I think they mean US Open tennis. Starts on Amazon today.

Amazon only want quality product. Grand Slam tennis and Premier League football next year. Not the joke of BDO darts. People are desperate if they think they will consider it.

[SAFC]

Still think it will be on Quest,Eurosport or Freesports

Just in time for the K0TW cut-off, I like it.

Is it news of tickets or news of why there is a delay?

From what I was told I’m guessing it’s going to be confirming the schedule so tickets can go on sale

[Ginge]

Scehdule - same as last time, as it has the same number of players. They hardly need to reinvent the wheel

The schedule has to be agreed with any broadcaster so either

They have got tv sorted

Or

They haven’t and are just pushing ahead with the same schedule
