World Masters - The BDO Have Fucked The Oldest Major To Death

[cannibal]

Des more then likely pawned the iconic masters trophy or melted it down. Unbelievable how the small things get cocked up by the Jacklins. Unless it is some tournament they run in a third rate country run by a tin pot autocrat. Are they purposefully trying to sabotage the BDO?

With each new custodian you think it cant get any worse.
What can the next one do to fuck it up further??

[cannibal]

Let us see how long it takes one of these useless cunts dart journalist to get to the bottom of the trophy fiasco. Where are the trophies and why weren't they used?

[mad jock]

Obviously Winmau did not want them to have the Trophy, is my take on it..

[Gidra]

Who gives a fuck about prize or trophies. There are some ranking points for grab, and they are dee-licious!!!

You forgot that those who bothered to show up obviously had a good time in conjunction with their 4 days on the lash

[Gidra]

Add some hotdogs and nose picking in the mix and it could not get any better

Didn't even consider that winmau owned the trophy. Clever monkey you as that would make they most sense. Good on winmau for keeping the rights to the trophy.

Been the Winmau World Masters since 1974, now World Masters...Who knows maybe in the coming months/years the PDC will rename one of their tournaments The Winmau World Masters, unless there is some legal problems stopping them...That and the O2 failing, and Potter putting up good money for some oldies Tournament..might just be the nail in the coffin of the BDO...seriously needs rebranding, and new people at the helm...maybe its just wishful thinking in my part

Winmau does not own the Masters trophy, as they confirmed on Twitter.

Behave you not a chance in hell of that happening.
But in all seriousness out of the ashes of the BDO I could see winmau brought back into the fold and sponsoring a world masters event with PDC promotions and ED Scotland wales N.Ireland and maybe even the Dutch working together

Podcast with Des from 31:30 here. Should be interesting.

Redraw: He wanted the draw done on the day, because of people who wouldn't turn up. He wanted to keep the entries open. The rules say the draw has to happen in advance. And he had to appease people "who don't care anyway". He wants to change the rules so the Masters draw can be done on the draw next year.

Fake names: People put the names in for other people and that were the "fake names". This was always the same but in past years no one cared. And this year he only gets criticised for it because he actually said the truth out loud. They don't monitor the names that go into the draw (what?)

Contracts: 2 guys had to sign it who qualified for Ally Pally, Baggish and Campbell. Des told them earlier they could play in the Masters but couldn't take the money if they weren't committed to play the O2. (In case they won the Masters)

On the weekend: "Absolutely fantastic, great numbers, great crowd, Paul Booth is second to none, standard has been second to none, everyone had a great time" etc.

Grand Slam picks: He was clearly uncomfortable talking about this. He states the BDO would have picked different players and refuses to talk about it any further.

Lack of Asian qualifier for Lakeside: There definitely will be one next year. He asked 2 events to hold the qualifier next year. An Asian Open asked if their winner could be at Lakeside, he refused. (Doesn't explain why they've done nothing to organise a qualifier one way or another)

Resigning: He was frustrated to see social media comments (e.g. about the youth prize money), he's doing 70 hours a week. He doesn't think he failed on anything so far. Providing the players are happy, the fans can see TV events, he doesn't see why he should resign.

Youth prize fund: There was a prize fund all along, so the rumours were unfounded.

2020 goals: He mentioned they want 4 TV events next year. He wants stability. And less negative posts. And more support.

Des is a fucking lying stupid cunt.
