The BDO Unofficial & Unregulated World Darts Championships 4-12 Jan 2020 Indigo at the O2

There's no one left in the BDO but they ought to be trying for Q school.........

You lot are ridiculous....

[Ginge]

Ought to? She says she is entering Padds, dont shoot the messenger.

[Paddy McGinty]

What a player.....far better than Fallon I would say. You can see why she stayed away now.

Why Fallon would have beat Hammond and turner way they played

Maybe but not the Yorkshire rose or grieves......she did the sensible thing on staying away.

I'm talking in general....

Kleermaker about the situation:

''I haven't heard a word from the directors, only rumours. This because Jacklin is barely at the venue. He is scared to face the players. He doesn't have my support, and with me many more players. If the prizefund is truly that low, than it looks like this will be the end''

Sound like they got no idea what prize money break down is

"In the end this is the warming up for Q-school. It looks like getting a tourcard might be even more important than previous years given recent developments in the BDO."

A ringing endorsement of the BDO and its leadership if ever I've seen one.

The lack of any discernable strength in depth in ladies darts shows why the PDC need to save it. The BDO have not progressed the game nearly enough over the last few decades.

This kid can play in fairness, but in general there have been so many low 60's averages, not least Paula Jacklin who managed to average under 65 despite not having the chance to miss any doubles.

And with rule changes adding euro tour quaffing for associate members for the 13 euro tour and challenge tour events how many will come back to bdo

[Mgt]

Beau's overall average is higher than her first 9, don't see that very often.

I think Paula Jacklin actually managed that in her first round exit as well.

Difference being of course she didn't get a dart at a double, making it slightly less impressive.

They don't know what the fund is... Justin Hood said Des told him on 30/12 that the winner got 35k but the prelim and 1st round was the same.. The rest tbc... Gary Stone said Des told him. 50k to the winner... Nobody seems to know round by round what's on offer.. Dartfreakz are now saying 23k which I assume was given to them by one of the Dutch losers... Who knoes
What I do know is that I admire all the players for getting up there and playing like they have given all that's gong on.... but nobody seems to bother as long as the venue is nice

Does playing the role of a faux mushroom not get boring to you?

[brainim]

The lack of any discernable strength in depth in ladies darts shows why the PDC would be crazy to take it on. Sherrock proved that if they're good enough they can compete with the men so that's what they should do.

Only the best can do it....

I don't see it happening. The pdc have a very egalitarian approach to darts, by and large.

Is it possible that segregation has actually been counterproductive? What has been keeping the ladies game down? Is it the fact that ladies cant throw a dart as well (struggle to believe this as a generalisation) or is it more the lack of competition forcing them to get better. If they played open darts throughout, including pubs, county etc, maybe fewer ladies would play, but those that do would be better as a result.

With something as objectively measurable as darts (same board, same oche, same equipment, no physical engagement) there is no strong case to separate the ladies and the gents other than historical standards. Replacing one tranche of ladies darts for another I dont think solves anything. It would just perpetuate.
