    You know the standard of darts has slipped in the BDO when you see the Prime Minster has entered the competition!

    What has happened to Martin Adams ??

    Had a few domestic issues off the oche plus he just hasn't played well enough. Remember he is almost 58, that is older than any other top player in either organisation so his game is bound to start to wain.

    Plus, unlike the PDC Order of Merit, the BDO ranking system is based on current achievements and what you do in the previous 12 months, hence he is now ranked 36

    What happened to David Croft (commentator)? I thought he was great. Though it used to be brill when it was just Tony Green and John Part. Again, it's a shame that John doesn't do BDO worlds commentary anymore (I don't think he has for about 5 years)

    Croft left the BBC for Sky when they got the rights for F1

    BBC do use Scott Mitchell a few times, he is pretty good. As is Alan Norris

    Not sure whether its behind the red button afternoon sessions today+tomorrow.
    They replied on twitter to someone that its evening sessions on the red button.
    Although it comes on 230pm the first scheduled game is Trinas one at 12pm followed by Scotty around 1230pm and so on
    Im hoping it is behind the red button today(tomorrow it comes on at 1pm so not too bad)

    Todays line up.

    Afternoon(starts 12pm)
    Trina Gulliver (England) v Tamara Schuur (Netherlands)
    Scott Waites (England) v Alan Norris (England)
    David Cameron (Canada) v Martin Adams (England)
    Wesley Harms (Netherlands) v Paul Jennings (England)

    Evening(starts 6pm)
    Madars Razma (Latvia) v John Michael (Greece)
    Harley Kemp (Australia) v Michael Meaney (Republic of Ireland)
    Jeffrey de Graaf (Netherlands) v Martin Atkins (England)
    Rachel Brooks (England) v Ann Louise Peters (Denmark)

    Looking forward to this tourney, you usually get a surprise package at Lakeside, mainly because we only see them twice a year so they're nowhere near as familiar as the PDC boys!

    Must admit when I was doing the prediction scores I don't think I've ever put so many pure guess results down cos I knew neither competitor since doing the Europa league comps! Especially the prelim and womens rounds.

    Clearly James Wilson seems to be the left field choice this year. Seeded 2 and 3rd fave with the bookies so clearly must be in good nick even though he has little Lakeside form. Got a potential quarter final against Waites to negotiate though first.

    At some point Stephen Bunting is going to fulfil his potential here, clearly he's one of the BDO's best players so to have only made 1 quarter final in 6 attempts isn't good enough. Bit like Waites eventually he's going to come through and win the title and maybe this is his year.

    Any sign of any red button yet? Nothing on the BBC site.

    It's started as the scores are changing on that site for Trinas game.

    Going go have go stop going on the BDO Facebook page. If you think people talk bollocks on here you ain't seen nothing yet. Some clown said "this wouldn't happen in the PDC." If course it would it's the ruddy weather. As much as Barry Hearn thinks he's God he can't control the weather
