MAD Becomes ADC

[oche balboa]

Amateur Darts Circuit (ADC) will launch on January 1, 2022, replacing Modern Amateur Darts (MAD). ADC will initially launch in five territories (UK, Benelux, United States, Oceania and Europe).

Steve Brown, the founder of the JDC and MAD, will be joined by promoter Scott Hunt in the day-to-day running of the ADC. Vincent van der Voort takes up the role of head of operations for Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg).


Brown: "We went into MAD with the best of intentions, with everything that's happening during the pandemic, the world is in a different place to how it was then. There were a lot of positives to come out of MAD and we can take those, along with the lessons we learned, into ADC, We see the ADC, sitting between the JDC and PDC, as a perfect stepping stone from the junior game to the professional circuit. We also took into consideration any negative connotations people may have drawn between the previous name and people's mental health struggles."

Oh dear.

Kell surpree!

[Black Velvet]

Great to see it is going to move forward though.

[The Cat]

No more belts?

[Ginge]

Will they still be going down the "cash games in front of 50 people in a rugby club function room" route?

[Black Velvet]

Isn’t that called the European Tour?

[Ginge]

Genuine question though: presumably Jarred Cole paid a fair few hundred quid, maybe even 4 figures, to play Warren. If those type of matches are now over, has he paid that money for absolutely fuck all? My understanding was he would only start earning from defending the "title".

[Black Velvet]

No, he’s the world champion.

[Ginge]

Very good

Seriously, any ideas?

[Black Velvet]

Stop it.

Amateur Darts Circus has a ring to it.

[Black Velvet]

Be too similar to the PDC’s trademark.

[Little Lonely Garry]

they can change their name all they want but they will remain a joke as long as you have simpletons on the board like Paul Nicholson who was responsible for stupid westling style belts.

If you have idiots running an org, you get idiotic decisions.....its not a difficult concept to grasp

Very smart to hook on to the Jackson's song.

[Ginge]

Right, so does Jarred Cole get his money back or not?

[ChrisW]

In spades with what's on offer.

[BlueSpark]

The MAD shite lasted longer than I thought.

[Black Velvet]

Right, so does Jarred Cole get his money back or not?

For what?

[Ginge]

Stop it.
