It's like the human version of darts. I like seeing Barney and Michael Smith yesterday battering in the 11 dart legs, probably averaging what, 14/15 dart legs?

And then you get the BDO which is more like yourself, down the pub with a mate and every now and then finding a big treble but more often than not finding a treble 1 and halving yourself down from 32 to 16 to 8, 4, 2 and then the magic of a double 1 duet, 50 darts into a leg. :lolol:

Also, the BDO provide a number of players for the PDC so it's not a complete joke of a competition, it's just the Championship standard of Darts compared to the PDC incredible standard.

Not so long ago, the BDO wasn’t that much weaker: in the 2007 championship the top six seeds were Van Gerwen, Adams, Gary Anderson, Jelle Klaasen, Mervyn King and Simon Whitlock – all but Adams have since made a mark in the PDC. And while Phil Taylor is undisputedly the greatest player ever, he didn’t have much to beat in the PDC from the late-90s to the mid-2000s.

Ok a year old piece but still relevant.

Apparently it's the last year on the BBC as part of the budget cuts and sadly it is a pale shadow of its former self, however until the PDC's youth wing finally bears fruit it probably still has a place in the darts set up.

There still a large number of the PDC field at the Ally Pally who started at the Lakeside.
