"The last sponsored tournament featuring Unicorn boards will be the UK Masters at Milton Keynes which finishes on the 30th January 2022."

So what boards do we think pdc will use now after this

[Ginge]

It doesnt say they arent going to carry on using Unicorn ones tbh, it just says they arent sponsoring them anymore. Very carefully worded.

The Allen keys can be put back in the toolbox

[SAFC]

No way it will be Winmau.

Like Ginge says it has been carefully worded. Only other serious makers are Target or Bulls

[oche balboa]

They will still use Unicorn

[Moongoose McQueeen]

They will still use Unicorn

Phew!

Unicorn just lost the game. Maybe a great-board sponsor ahead.

I can't believe they are going to continue with Unicorn having to pay for the boards (even at a discounted rate) when a new sponsor would be providing them gratis.

Won't be the endgame.

Maybe not, I was just pointing out how the announcement was worded.

Maybe an announcement on Monday then once the Masters is over, dont believe they have only had 8 days notice of it.

(edited as said 7 days originally, its actually 8 days)

Guess all will become clear next Thursday.

Interesting to see if this is a position to renegotiate with Unicorn or let the bad boards go?

[Rout]

Who would have thought that it would have been so hard to "focus on getting darts out to the community" and providing a decent dart board for the pros at the same time.

Must have been like Sophie's choice for them.

[Ginge]

I reckon it wasnt their choice tbh.

He won't do that for a while, expect he'll be hanging this day.

Only other 3 major dartboard manufacturers are Winmau, Target and Bulls everything else is tat

[Little Lonely Garry]

for years people moaned about unicorn and them sponsoring the pdc


still i am sure those that spend their life complaining about the pdc will not be happy but find something else now to complain about

So an announcement of an announcement? Oh my, how the worm has turned.
