BDO World Darts CatasTrophy 2019 (Glitz, Titz and Glamour)

[The Thorn]

Right, it's a stupid question, but I will still ask it.

Is anyone on here going to this?

Yes, it is.

So that's The Thorn booked in for the entire weekend.

You can't miss me, I'll be waving a TDF sign and picking my nose.

Oche brought his custom made Glenn Durrant action figure to last year's event:

The 2019
@BDOdarts
World Trophy is set to storm King George’s Hall this summer, as top stars from across the BDO circuit will be battling it out over 3 days in their bid to be crowned champion!

This event will have as much impact on world darts as a wet fart in a Hurricane!

[Rogg]

Is this format for the men's event a joke or what?

First Round (best of 9 legs)
Second Round (best of 9 legs)
Quarter-Finals (best of 11 legs)
Semi-Finals (best of 13 legs)
Final (best of 15 legs)

[Randall]

The whole event is a joke surely?

Been told by Eurosport to make sure the sessions finish on time no doubt.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Always possible the drawsheet (where I presume you took this from) is wrong.

[StevieBoy]

I thought this was a major, first to 8 sounds like Players Championship event!

[The Thorn]

Sure a Pro Tour has more prize money now than this crap but this still takes the piss. Last year was best of 15 semis and best of 19 final. And even that was a shortened format compared to a few years before.

[The Thorn]

Wayne Warren just won the famous Antwerp Open in a best of 13 final. The Trophy is supposed to be a "major", it's a stage event and runs over 3 days

[sennafan24]

I'm in favour of the shorter format.

Does anyone really need to see a 19 leg "classic" between Big Jobbo and Harms? Keep it short and snappy.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Sportingbet couldnt be arsed pricing Jacklin up

[Captain Hobo]

I didn't think Anastasia was playing?

[The Ginge Reaper]

I didn't think Anastasia was playing?

She qualified as a seed so why wouldnt she?

Suggestion is she wont be playing the Masters due to the ridiculous scheduling.

[Captain Hobo]

Well that makes sense, knew I had seen somewhere she was unhappy with some scheduling.

Aye right

"We have sold loads, but I'm going to beg anyway"

Aye right

All that's missing is the free coaches and hot dogs!

[Randall]

Give it time......

[sennafan24]

Give it time......

Are you offering to fund a coach trip?

[Randall]

Give it time......

Are you offering to fund a coach trip?

I wouldn't give em the steam off my piss.
