So glad Channel 4 picked this up. Wasn't looking forward to battling with the streaming on BT the whole week!

Durrant has to be big favourite doesnt he ? I reckon if he wins it he will switch too. Jamie Hughes has to be in with a shout and from the bottom half i fancy Danny Noppert to get to the final. Might have a little ew flutter on him actually

So are the prelims best of 5 or best of 3 sets ? (not helping the tipping comp)

BDO sheet has best of 5 (but they had it wrong for the masters i recall)
Wikipedia and PG game have best of 3 sets

No betting sites seem to have odds for correct score

You would think the BDO would be the official source as its there comp (that's why i put down the best of 5 and it has been that before)
I reckon it could be best of 3 now (makes more sense)

Their website has always left a lot to be desired. Needs a total overhaul

Why don't they just join the 2 tournaments together, the real darts champion is never from this championship anyhow, maybe if they joined up darts might get some real recognition in sport.

Here we go

Because the PDC don't want a county game or a ladies game. The BDO is what it is. Its for players who don't want to be a full time pro darts player.

I go and watch two football teams. One is in the Premier League and one in the National League. I thoroughly enjoy both as i love football, like i love darts. I know the standard is a distance apart, i am not stupid, but i know that both give enjoyment and pleasure.

I do think darts gets recognition. Definitely.

Surely this year they will need shorter matches or longer time slots as both C4 and BT will want breaks for adverts between every set as with Sky.

It was only the BBC who played the early round matches straight through and it was only later stages Semis and Final ? they had quite a long mid match break.

Thats a good point Malcy, never thought of that. All matches will have breaks now yes.

I always book the first full week off in January as the BDO starts, done it for a few years. Did it again this year and it doesn't start until this weekend, absolutely gutted!

I thought even on Sky they played 2 sets without a break in between including the last 2 sets of the match.

I always thought even the BDO played a start of their championships at the tail end of the festive period, and the end of the PDC and the start of the BDO always seemed to clash. I recall John Gwynne who did the dart radio reports for both championships hot footing it between the 2 championshops at Frimley Green and Circus Tavern.

Now the BDO only seems to play on a standard January week every year these days.

Yeah, that's true Darren, I should have said just the first week in January as it normally falls quite nicely. But not this year unfortunately.

I think it did clash a few years back. PDC always seems to end around 1st or 2nd of Jan now and the BDO one starts on the first Saturday of January ( unless its the 1st )

IIRC one year John Part was playing in the PDC and went straight to commentate on the BDO for the BBC after being knocked out.
