As the end of the year approaches, it’s time to get the BDO-ranked events sorted for 2017!

If you don’t know what that means, the British Darts Organisation (BDO) is the organizing body for the Lakeside World Championship, and they have their own worldwide rankings (known as “Invitational Tables”) which qualify players for the event.  There is also a separate ” USA Regional Table” which guarantees an American player participation at Lakeside!  These BDO events also give players numerous chances to qualify for the Winmau World Masters, as the winners of each 501 Singles – both men and women – receive an invite.

To take advantage of these opportunities, tournaments have to be ranked by the BDO, although all tournaments have to apply through the national governing body; in our case, that’s the ADO.

There will be a maximum of twelve BDO-ranked tournaments (with both men’s and women’s singles ranked) in the US for 2017.  Unlike previous years, there is no minimum tournament purse required by the ADO for ADO tournaments to be ranked by the BDO, and all ADO-sanctioned tournaments are now free to apply for BDO-ranking via the ADO website.  However, tournaments must still adhere to the prize structure as stipulated by the BDO.  This is one of a number of certain rules that must be applied, and details are available on the page.

So, if you want to be involved in the quest to give more American players more opportunities to compete on the world stage, check on the BDO/WDF or ADMIN tabs, or just click on the link:
