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

[Sally]

LiveDarts interview with Keane Barry.

It’s very noisy in there. With all that space, I assumed there would be a quiet practice room for the players, where the public weren’t allowed.

How long after the event do the players usually get paid?

[ChrisW]

Tungsten Tales interview with Jim William's.

Was part of the script getting £77k less than Durrant got 12 months ago?

Looking like we will not know until after the tournament has finished.

[Fucci]

Swear filters shouldn’t apply where Jacklin’s concerned.

How long after the event do the players usually get paid?

In this case, Jelember 1st

Well the contracts have already been broken so whatever they said before wont apply now anyway as you suggest...

[meetthefeebles]

There is no money. None. Even if they hadn't broken the contracts (or either anticipatory breached/varied them, in truth, but the legal technicalities are neither here nor there at this point) then it makes no odds. They cannot pay money that doesn't exist.

[Fucci]

In fairness we’re all being a bit harsh.
It’s clearly Frank Branscombe’s fault.

Scott Mitchell would not be going to Q school if he thought the BDO would still exist for another year, fact.

I agree I think he decided last min best give it a try

Yup.

[DavidB]

Dear me, if he hadn’t have gone you’d be accusing him of bottling it or something. Just be grateful he’s giving it a go.

He bottled it every other year, he has been forced to this year because the PDC may be the only place to play for the next 12 months until another federation steps up.

Not really true the EDO will still be running it's events and all the Euro tour events will still be running.

Never this year.... Probably

[trotter01]

How poetic, the BDO world championships started with a Welsh champion, now they might end with a Welsh champion as well.

And a Welsh referee is doing it... Welsh overload

[trotter01]

I miss the interviews from the players bar.

With Big Robbo downing pints in the background all week after anorher first round loss... BDO nostalgia.. Those were the days my friend...

[trotter01]

Maybe Des is out securing the future of the BDO, have any of you thought about that?
It’s been a brilliant week and he’s probably nailing down some major sponsors who have seen what a superb product we’ve got and are clambering to be a part of it moving forward.

Parody accounts are only good if they are funny.... Maybe something for you to sleep on ?

Good Lord. I have no desire whatsoever to watch this one hit wonder taking forever to get his darts out of the board in PDC events.

Imagine he plays Dolan.
