Darts #8: Wie verslaat Phil Taylor?

The British Darts Organisation (BDO) has rejected a buy-out offer from the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).


Delegates from 65 BDO counties met on Sunday and after a majority vote instructed their governing body to rebuff the takeover bid.
PDC chief Barry Hearn offered £1m for the BDO in October.
BDO chief Olly Croft initially rejected the offer, calling it a "cheap publicity stunt", before turning the decision over to the counties.
The acrimonious split between the BDO and PDC, which have rival world championships on the BBC and Sky respectively, stretches back to 1993.
A group of 16 rebel players, including 15-time world champion Phil Taylor, broke away to create their own organisation, initially called the World Darts Council (WDC).
In his buy-out bid, Hearn had offered to honour all existing contracts with sponsors, venues and the BBC, and said he would invest a further £1m into the grass-roots of the sport.
"We [the PDC] know what we are doing and want to invest in the future of darts," said Hearn.
"The BDO made £16,000 profit last year. The PDC made £1m profit, had a turnover of £9m and has roughly £3m in the bank.
"I would suggest that if the BDO really care about the sport of darts and the millions of players, then you should accept offers and let us inject not just finance, but professional management to run darts in a modern and effective manner.

Martin Adams (foto) heeft in Veldhoven het Dutch Open Darts op zijn naam gebracht. De Engelse favoriet versloeg in de finale landgenoot Scott Waites met 3-1. Dat leverde 'Wolfie' 4500 euro op.

Van de vele Nederlandse darters bereikten alleen Patrick Loos en Edwin Max de laatste acht. Hun optreden zondag bleef beperkt tot één partij.

Bij de vrouwen ging de aantrekkelijkste cheque (2250 euro) verrassend naar Deta Hedman. De Engelse was in de eindstrijd haar landgenote Trina Gulliver de baas met 5-4 in legs.

Veelvoudig wereldkampioene Gulliver won met haar Nederlandse partner Francis Hoenselaar wel het koppeltoernooi

quote:

Raymond van Barneveld (foto) neemt dit jaar niet deel aan de UK Open. De Nederlandse darter heeft besloten rust te nemen. 'Ik kan het momenteel gewoon niet bijbenen,' vertelt hij zaterdag aan De Telegraaf.

'Vooral mijn scores zijn niet constant genoeg. Waardoor dat komt, kan ik niet begrijpen. Op het ingooibord gaat alles raak, maar eenmaal op het podium wil het niet lukken. Ik weet niet waar ik het zoeken moet.'

In de Premier League Darts, het elitetoernooi van de PDC, staat Van Barneveld na elf speeldagen op een teleurstellende achtste (en laatste) plaats. 'Het is gewoon niet mijn jaar,' stelt de Nederlander. 'Hopelijk doet de rustperiode mij goed en sta ik er over een tijdje weer. Op deze manier kan het niet verder' (JvE)

THE teams for the PDC World Cup have now been confirmed, as 24 countries prepare to do battle at the Rainton Meadows Arena from December 3-5.

The inaugural tournament will be played across three days in December as the sport's top nations compete for a £40,000 first prize and the PDC World Cup title.

Each of the top 24 nations in the PDC Order of Merit will compete in the tournament, headed by the English pair of Phil Taylor and James Wade - ranked first and second in the world.

World number three Raymond van Barneveld will be joined in representing Holland by Co Stompe, while Simon Whitlock - who moved up to fourth in the world with a Players Championship win last weekend - will play alongside Newcastle-born Paul Nicholson for Australia.

Scotland will be represented by UK Open finalist Gary Anderson and Robert Thornton, while former World Champion Mark Webster will compete alongside Barrie Bates for Wales.

Three-time World Champion John Part will lead Canada's challenge alongside Ken MacNeil, while the USA - represented by Darin Young and Bill Davis - and Northern Irish duo Brendan Dolan and John MaGowan will complete the top eight seeds.

The top eight nations come in at the second round stage on Friday night, where they will face the winners from the 16-team knockout first round.

Emerging youngster William O'Connor will play alongside Mick McGowan for Ireland, while Jyhan Artut - who knocked Wayne Mardle out of this year's Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship - and Andree Welge, a Players Championship semi-finalist last Saturday, represent Germany.

Former Women's World Champion Anastasia Dobromyslova will line up alongside Roman Konchikov for Russia, while Carlos Rodriguez and Antonio Alcinas will compete for Spain and a host of other players with World Championship experience will line up for their country.

Further teams in the field include Finland, New Zealand, Austria, Sweden, Gibraltar, Slovenia, Denmark, Poland, Belgium, Japan, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Each nation is seeded according to the cumulative world ranking of their two competitors, with the lowest total being the highest seed.

Confirmation of the draw & format will be announced in due course.

Het PDC Worldchampionship Darts zal dit seizoen nog bij SBS 6 te zien zijn. Maar daarna neemt de zender afscheid van de kroegsport-op-professioneel-niveau. Dat bevestigt directeur Eric van Stade in gesprek met De Perstribune van Radio 1. Als je als commerciële zender sport doet, doe je dat omdat het veel kijkers boeit. Als dat niet meer het geval is, houd je er mee op. Darts doen we dit jaar nog, daarna houdt het contract op. We hebben er voor gekozen dat niet te verlengen.

SBS 6 was in de jaren 90 de zender die darts groot maakte in Nederland, mede geholpen door het succes van Raymond van Barneveld op internationaal niveau. Hij verhuisde naar een andere klasse waardoor een Nederlands boegbeeld wegviel alhoewel er na Van Barneveld verschillende Nederlandse darters op topniveau hebben meegedraaid.

Lex Muller, die eind dit jaar afscheid neemt als hoofd sport van SBS 6, is niet te spreken over het beleid van zijn werkgever. In tijdschrift Voetbal International zei hij eerder deze maand: Het is duidelijk aan de programmaleiding van SBS te merken dat deze niet erg sportminded is. Ik was het er bijvoorbeeld niet mee eens dat we met darts gestopt zijn. Dat pikt RTL nu in.

Hij vervolgt: Ik vind het niet verstandig om bijna alle sport te schrappen. Het gaat misschien wat ver om te zeggen dat sport en dan vooral voetbal de belangrijkste bijzaak van het leven is, maar het hoort bij het leven. SBS 6 heeft echter besloten alles op entertainment te gooien en ook dat vind ik niet verstandig.

De SBS-groep heeft de rechten voor verschillende uitduels en oefenwedstrijden van het oranje elftal. Ook de uitzendrechten van het KNVB Bekervoetbal liggen bij de zendergroep

Idd, ik kan me ook niet voorstellen dat de gehele markt ineens verdwenen is.
