Neilly Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 He's basically waited until the cheque has cleared for Lakeside and moved. I'm assuming he has obviously told Uncle Barry prior to this to hold a tour card. Glorious news and BDO deserve this for backing players into a corner with their daft Lakeside contracts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Astonishing. First time since the split that the defending champion won't be at the Lakeside. Of course, he could quite conceivably have gone onto win it again, and it would be a seemingly never ending cycle of defences. He's a brilliant player at the top of his game, and he could be a great success in the PDC. Obviously, the overall standard is higher on the Pro Tour, but he is more than capable of being highly successful. You've got to fancy his chances of making it into the majors via the Pro Tour this year. It's going to be compelling to track his progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I believe the majors are using a rolling Pro Tour OOM for this year rather than a 1 year OOM so it will be harder for New players to qualify in their first year as majority of players will have a one year head start in terms of money gained. Still he is good enough to win a fair whack of money in a short space of time so who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, money earned counts for two years? Very interesting if that's the case. Looking at the Pro Tour from last year, Bunting is around £17,000 behind the players who made it into the majors last year. With this system, it looks good for a certain Canadian three-time World Champion with £37,000 behind him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think they still have to defend the money they won a year earlier so Part will be hit pretty hard as he won that 20k in the early part of the year at a Euro Event eh? So basically if you had a good back end of the year in 2013 its going to benefit you more for this year's majors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think they still have to defend the money they won a year earlier. That's just silly... Part earned almost £30,000 by the end of April, so he's snookered... You made my night, Neilly, and now you've crushed it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good for Bunting, it was the only sensible option though. Probably top 16 within three years imo. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Good to see that Bunting has made the switch. He's got a good chance to get his first telly appearance as a PDC player in early as the UK Open finals are in March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I, for one, am shocked that Martin Adams has been outed as a bit of a c**t... Statement from EDO [England Darts Organisation] Board of Directors 22.01.14Whilst at the Lakeside in January, it became evident a confidential letter concerning International selection sent from the EDO Board of Directors to the EDO Selection panel had become common knowledge. This caused major problems for one of our Directors and his party.This constituted a breach of trust of this letter and the discussions which were held in the selection process; the person concerned is no longer part of the selection committee.As a result of this breach of confidence, the EDO Board feels they have no alternative, but to make this public statement.The Directors of England Darts have the right to include or exclude any player/players from representing our Country; we will not tolerate abuse of other players or England’s nominated officials. England further makes it clear that there are procedures to deal with any issues, these procedures, do not include publicly abusing officials or sponsors.Martin Adams was not selected to represent England at the 2013 6 Nations in The Netherlands. He received a phone call advising him of his non-selection, and was given the option by the Board of Directors to announce that he was unavailable. He chose to accept this course of action and therefor preventing any undue embarrassment in acknowledgement of his past services; the England Board of Directors complied.Martin Adams over a period of years, has made it known that he wishes nothing to do with England Darts, he has on a number of occasions publically abused the Directors and their officials at EDO events. He also acted in an inappropriate manner whilst representing England, which could have resulted in England being sanctioned, but for the intervention of the EDO officials present and the goodwill of the aggrieved countries officials.Unfortunately the respect shown to Martin Adams by the EDO board has never been reciprocated.On behalf of the Board of Directors.ChairmanTommy Thompson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Brilliant. In that ITV documentary he said the main reason he hadn't switched was so he could represent England. Lol. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainspotter Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thought I might head along to the Normandy for a few beers on the final day of the BDO Scottish Open. What's the set up - is there a main board for the later stages? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Love III Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ando beat Pipe 6-5 in the final. Indeed. His first Tour win in 3 years. Pipe missed three match darts to win, but that's a huge result for Anderson. Good start to the season for all of these guys in the Quarters onwards, who pocket a minimum of £3,000. Not least Mr. Part who recently welcomed a mini-Darth Maple into the world. Quarter-Finals Michael van Gerwen 5-6 Jelle Klaasen John Part 3-6 Justin Pipe Raymond van Barneveld 2-6 Ronnie Baxter Ian White 4-6 Gary Anderson Semi-Finals Jelle Klaasen 5-6 Justin Pipe Ronnie Baxter 4-6 Gary Anderson Final Justin Pipe 5-6 Gary Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Very enjoyable to watch on youtube. Anderson almost bottled it there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
