I trust Mason's information as well.

I believe they're vanity or desperation projects also but the accounts are the accounts and were healthy. They have a 75/100 credit rating and would be higher were they to publish the accounts quicker which leads me to my real suspicions.

Well managed and financially sound companies don't wait till the very last minute to publish accounts. I've no doubt there's something untoward in the background but Micro Accounts give me very little to work with. I doubt February coming will reveal much but 2021 could be very interesting

Ah, my mistake.

The 2021 accounts will cover the losses sustained between mid-2019 and mid-2020. The 2020 accounts will cover the losses sustained between mid-2018 and mid-2019. Correct?

Even so, the 2020 accounts will surely cover the losses they suffered through running the Masters and WDT in 2018? I can imagine the losses they suffered from running those two events in both 2018 and 2019 is now coming back to haunt them?

May 2018 accounts are filed already, albeit just on time and reporting a profit. May 2019 are due by February 2020 and we don't know what will be reported.

In my opinion the content of the May 2020 accounts due for publication by February 2021 are the most interesting but are also a long way away

I get all of that.

But surely we know that the BDO will report losses in February of 2020. There is no chance they gained money between May 2018 and May 2019.

You could also make a case for Harms or Veenstra.

However, I now think it will be Des - https://dartsnews.com/bdo-future-in-jeo ... ter-event/

Des will always be a front-runner because he should be properly running an entire organisation. If he fucks up, which he often does, it harms the career of several players. If a player messes up on stage, it usually only hinders their career.
