There’s still talk now, are they even going to get this money?” “The players are probably at their lowest confidence-wise within the board than they ever have been,” he says. On Saturday it stood at just over £2,000. Shortly afterwards, the World Darts Federation released a statement asserting that it “refuses to be associated with such actions”, promptly rejecting the BDO from its list of recognised darts organisations.Īs Fallon Sherrock, the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship, quietly dropped out of the BDO women’s tournament after the prize-money issue came to light, nothing quite reflected the dire state of affairs like Martin’s decision to set up a GoFundMe page in order to boost the ladies’ prize fund. Nothing quite reflected the dire state of affairs as the decision to set up a GoFundMe page to boost the ladies’ prizes The organisation’s unprofessionalism is visible in small and large print, from the official website that looks like a relic from the days of dial-up internet, to the catastrophic World Masters in November, when the draw had to be done twice after some entrants were initially left out. There was a lot of back-and-forth about what is actually happening? What are we playing for? What is the end result?”Īlthough many believe that the BDO was rotting from long before he took the reins 18 months ago, much of the blame has been directed towards Jacklin, whose promises of progression and increased prize money have crumbled to dust.
