BDO World Darts Championship

The standard is poor, Taylor lot would beat all of them.

Taylor beats every one period.

The top players on the BDO are just as good as the PDO top players minus Taylor as Scott Waites proved a few weeks ago in the gramd slam of darts.


Adams
O Shea
Waites
Hankey
Chisnell

Would all hold there own and get to the later satges of the PDO events. Just that the depth is much worst in the BDO than the PDO, but like said earlier in the thread the PDO poach 90% of the BDO players. Like Whitlock,King,Mardle,Barney,Painter etc etc.

Spot on mate. Can't remember the exact stats but head to heads between BDO and PDC players in the Grand Slam of darts was well in favour of the BDO players. I think they won 60 or 70% of the head to heads

Surely that can't be right?

2007 - only Gary Anderson qualified from the group stages, losing in the semi to Taylor.

2008 - Whitlock, Webster, Anderson and Fitton (Fitton let Anderson win so they'd both qualify) qualified from the groups.. Anderson lost in the semi to Jenkins, the others were knocked out by PDC players.

2009 - Waites and O'Shea qualified from the group stages, both eventually losing to Taylor.

Apparently there were 17 BDO V PDC games in The Grand Slam.

BDO 10 vs 7 PDC


So about 59%

Is that over the three years? Where did you see the stats?

Post # 4 - Notice the great use of "FACT" It's everywhere

BDO/PDC averages - Darts Forum - Think Darts, Play Darts, Talk Darts.

Nice one. Nearly all the BDO winners must now be PDC players

That thread had some interesting averages.

BDO last 8 average
89.77
PDC last 8 average
99.00
BDO last 4 average
93.98
PDC last 4 average
97.12

This year the divide in class between the two really stood out. As I said earlier, the BDO are down to about 4 players that could potentially be top 32 in the PDC.

I think Chisnall is the most likely player to succeed Taylor at the moment. He just needs to sort out those nerves, which he will in time (This was his first time being in anything like that kind of sitaution)
