Good work. Looks more a removal of full membership to associate, though.

Two rules cited on that letter they were in breach of.

WDF playing rule 11.01:
11. DRAW

11.01 There shall be only one draw for opponents, which shall be conducted prior to the tournament.
BDO ranking systems rule 5.04:
5.04 Number of Seeded Players

The criteria for the requisite numbers of players seeded shall be:
For Events comprising up to 32 entries = 4 x seeded players
For Events comprising between 33 and 128 entries = 8 x seeded players
For Events comprising between 129 and 256 entries = 16 x seeded players
For Events comprising of more than 257 entries = 32 x seeded players
That first one is proper trolling, fair play.

So making up a load of fictitious players just so your missus can be seeded is generally frowned upon?

That's come as a shock.

Interesting because in the letter they also state the BDO shouldn't be a full member because they don't represent a Nation? So have they just removed something they didn't\not supposed to have in the first place?

Correcting a historical anomaly, aye. I think we can hazard a guess who is behind all of this. Well done, Rich!

And all this on the 4th anniversary of the New Era.

Someone's got a sense of humour, at least.

If Des has got any sense at all (and you can judge that for yourselves), he'll have hidden her phone.

It will be an advert for their "Jolly Boys" outing, trying to show that they don't give a feck :grin:

The first line is the real killer though, that's the one with ramifications

It will be an advert for the 2020 North Cyprus Championships as that is all that they will have left at this rate.

Paula's dream of been number 1 in the BDO getting nearer day by day, even if it is by default.

On this basis any other Spanish based organisations being kicked out?
