DazBob Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 In competitions do they get to stand closer to the board than the men? (only asking because there's a different mark for them on the oche in pubs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford Trotter Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You're probably right but I'm looking forward to seeig how the big fella does Always the bridesmaid.... They're about the only two decent throwers in the BDO competition but neither of them would have got into the last 16 in the PDC. I don't get the motivation for aspiring players to stay with the BDO when you know the better players are in the PDC unless there's some notion that it's their only chance to be a World Champion.

Well, the two lads in the final tonight would get 6. 10, or if they were very lucky, 15k prize money in the PDC. In the BDO they're getting 30 for turning up and 100 for winning tonight.

maaarsh Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Do they come over a bit ironic when presenting the trophy - presumably the guy who wins will be full aware he's not even top 20 in the world? Personally I'd feel awkward being called world champion in the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may make the switch very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be case that the BDO wouldn't allow you to enter their World Championships unless you signed a contract that if you won that you would defend your title. Not sure if that still stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton in bedford Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 He could go over to the PDC but he'd have to give back the 100k he won. The PDC invite the four BDO semi finalists to go over but their BDO contracts require them to give up their prize money. I think he'll stay with the BDO another year, it is really hard to make he switch as you effectively have to start from the bottom. Last year Dean Winstanley made the switch as the then BDO number 2, had a decent season and is only ranked just out of he top 32. It will take a couple of seasons for anyone to really make an impact so it is a risk making the switch. It is still very bitter between the two codes even though it has been 20 years since the split.

I like Winstanley, i think he'll do well in the PDC. Top 16 by this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably made more in the time he's been with the PDC in pro tour events. He made 3 TV majors which suggets that. Chisnall made 65,000 in Pro Tour events.
