They allow you to post here, so it's only consistent to allow using those words.

Definitely been a few monngs at modus they ain’t invited back, only reason Monk probably did when he was a nontc was because he’s a family friend of Barrs and they’ve known each other since they were kids. I think some dart players literally can’t play darts unless they’re battered and maybe Parletti is one of them

I don't think booze is the issue in itself.

It's more when booze leads to woeful performances. Such as Parletti's.

Unless Monk did similar? Then it probably is favouritism.

I can't play darts no matter how much I drink!

Nice visualisation of the schedule here

Wasn't there a year of the BDO Worlds where both someone from Turkey and Brunei qualified? I want those days back.

Outstanding! Well done to all involved. Not quite mydieselcl- I can't.

Still no word on the further outlets meant to be broadcasting the last 3 days of the championships.

Can't see any substantial tv interest like Eurosport announcing now. Might be stuck on Ayozat/YouTube and some of the random Facebook pages the BDO put some of there later tournaments on.

I've heard its Eurosport. Not sure if it will happen

oche balboa, who is currently on your ignore list, made this post.

No doubt this was a post by Oche claiming to be in the know about the broadcasting.

Would be good if it was. They need something mainstream, can't see anything on Discovery+ yet. The app has event listings for months in advance too. Also wouldn't quite understand why Eurosport would drop the event but still want the last three days.

Also I think the actual production could be quite poor visually with the WDF's current budget issues and it being mainly on Ayozat and YouTube. It's different from when Eurosport would broadcast the old BDO opens. I'm imagining the picture quality broadcast will be quite poor, not something the current Eurosport would broadcast.

I'd be delighted if I was wrong. The tournament needs a broadcast outlet like Eurosport

The last 3 days needs to be on an established TV Channel. If Eurosport (I'm not sure what they will show during Lakeside week) don't show it then there are hardly any options left. Considering European Cricket Network for example was on BT and/or Viaplay during their European Championship and this features players who aren't really top level amateurs then the WDF have failed

Forgot that cricket tournament was on tv. Think it was mainly Viaplay Xtra. If it can get decent tv coverage there isnt much of an excuse for WDF not to have either.

Fingers crossed for some mainstream tv coverage.

Eurosport will be mainly winter sport on both channels. Not sure about evenings, there may be some evenings to fill for them. Yeah if it's not Eurosport/Quest it probably would have to be Sporty Stuff TV. Same companyish already so probably wouldn't be too hard to put some of the last 3 days on there. Issue with Sporty Stuff TV is there is still some greyhound racing and some of there other live sports still on at that time of year. Don't even know if Modus is on during WDF but I'd think they would be a bit daft to carry on during WDF

Don't know how many casual fans will land on the darts on Ayozat either. Not even sure if it's a channel that takes part in the tv ratings surveys. Probably more will catch it live on Youtube than Ayozat. At least with Sporty Stuff TV you could have a chance of some fans landing there.
