So there isn't a market for non-PDC darts?

Dutch Open today

Non-PDC darts is marketable as it's an alternative to watching MVG vs Wright every other week.

It is more akin to wanting to see less Man U, City and Liverpool which is the main complaint of MOTD for years, there is a market for people bored with the PL, PDC, and all it's clones.

The secret is getting thousands of entrants. Then when you add on the 37 fans you have quite a crowd.

Tournament with thousands of entrants staying over the weekend convinces people who were staying for a weekend to stay and watch the sport they was there to take part in

My main point is that there is still a market for non-PDC darts.

I never said anything about the BDO.

Maybe there is a future for non PDC darts.. but there doesn't seem to appear to be one for BDO darts in England.. certainly not under the Jacklins

Also helps if you charge €7.50 entry instead £15-26, and have a prize fund that's small.

The Dutch Open is the exception though. Can't think of another tournament so successful apart from the Zuiderduin.
Which of course got pulled due to lack of a sponsor.
