Call me daft but how would the PDC benefit in becoming recognised in this way then?Zeyes wrote:I misspoke a bit, darts is recognized as a sport itself, but it's considered ungoverned.
To catch up what I was talking about there, all posts from TSOD, April last year (had to unlink a few URLs to get this posted here):

Darts - No recognised governing body in England
Has this always been the case, thought its been claimed that the BDO and WDF are the recognized governing body of darts?
Sportotal make that claim here http://www.sportotal.co.uk/news/index (Founded in 1973, THE BRITISH DARTS ORGANISATION (BDO) is the only recognised governing body for darts in Britain and through its ranking points is established globally as the world’s leading darts organisation)A few months afterwards the usual suspects from the BDO/EDO camp were intimating that the whole recognition thing is back on the agenda for all the orgs.Zeyes wrote:BDO not listed in July 2013: http://web.archive.org/web/201307051425 ... recognise/Zapp Brannigan wrote:Im not scraping any barrels, Im wondering when it changed.ifm wrote:Scraping some barrels here lol
The original article in 2005 states that the BDO is the governing body for darts in England.

Since 2016 at least the Sport England site says they don't recognize any organization as the governing body.

Recognition process before 2010:
Recognition process since 2010:There are two parts to the recognition process:
Recognition of a sporting activity
This must be agreed by each of the four home country sports councils and UK Sport.
Recognition of the governing body for the sport
There are two stages to this part of the process.
Recognition of a governing body for the sport at a UK or GB level, which will be considered by all the sports councils
Recognition of a governing body for the sport within England, Northern Ireland/Ulster, Scotland or Wales, which will be considered by the relevant sports council for that country.
A governing body cannot be recognised unless the activity it represents is already recognised.
However, it is possible for an activity to be recognised without a recognised governing body.
Conclusion: I don't believe the BDO has ever been officially recognized as the governing body for darts by Sport England, as they apparently never completed the second step of the process at the time.Under a new process introduced in 2010, applications for recognition of a sport and a national governing body for that sport are dealt with together. (...)
The aim of the recognition process is to identify a single lead NGB structure which governs a sport at UK, GB or home country level.Our recognition criteria focus on establishing if a NGB has achieved a position of pre-eminence within its sport and if it has a reasonable level of organisation and governance.

Well it's two extra places you moron, nothing has been taken away from Americans."I am entirely for the PDC to support the CDC in such a fashion, but in addition to those in their system, not at their expense".
And that bullshit just puts the icing on the cake. There is no guarantee in any qualifying method that the best players will be the ones coming through. Fucking sad cunt.The presumption that the best three North American players will be at the World Championship seems flawed at best.
