DARTS AUSTRALIA BDO LAKESIDE WORLD PROFESSIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Darts Australia was made aware on November 3 2018 via its two qualifiers Justin Thompson and Mal Cuming that the British Darts Organisation would not be funding Airfares and Accommodation for the 2019 BDO World Professional Championship held at the Lakeside Hotel Complex, Frimley Green, UK.

Both players received notification on November 2 2018.

Darts Australia received no prior notice or advice from the BDO that this funding was to be withdrawn prior to the players notifying Darts Australia.

Darts Australia is extremely disappointed that this decision has been made by the BDO following the conclusion of the Grand Prix year.

We have of course made representation to the BDO Board expressing our disappointment and concerns but to no avail.

The Directors of Darts Australia have however pledged support for both players and D.A will fund the airfare and assist with accommodation costs to allow Justin and Mal to take their rightful place at the BDO World Pro.

I’m sure you will join us in wishing Justin and Mal a safe journey to the UK and wish Justin, Mal and Corrine Hammond the best of fortunes on the Lakeside stage.

Only seems no other international player is being offered assistance, and no player at all gets a free room this year...

Does the PDC pay the travel costs for their qualifiers? Serious question, I don't have a clue.

Anyway, it's way out of order to do this, not even notifying the organisation

Many of the qualifiers have the airfare paid as part of the prize as its on the flyer etc. Thing is here they have been paid in the past but have suddenly just stopped, without warning, after the qualifying year is done.

Agreed it's a terrible thing to do from the BDO

[The Ginge Reaper]

Also I recall Hammond having to fund her flight herself, so also terrible that only the men got fare paid in the past and the women didnt, at least now there is some equality

I'm not sure many who had to pay for travel and accommodation couldn't make that up with the prize money on offer either at Ally Pally.

I doubt widmayer will be there if no compensation for flight. I believe he qualified for a WDT and didn't go because no compensation for travel.

Would like to see him play it but again, if he doesn't back himself to win a game or two then sod him

[The Ginge Reaper]

Guaranteed money here a bit more than the WDT though.

[M H]

Not a mention on the BDO site of their success at GSoD

The only thing I would like to see him do is pick up the trash on my block, even then it isn't something I would wake up early to see. Would put money on only 50% of the trash bags make it into the back of the truck.
