WDF playing rule 11.01: 11. DRAW 11.01 There shall be only one draw for opponents, which shall be conducted prior to the tournament. BDO ranking systems rule 5.04: 5.04 Number of Seeded Players The criteria for the requisite numbers of players seeded shall be: For Events comprising up to 32 entries = 4 x seeded players For Events comprising between 33 and 128 entries = 8 x seeded players For Events comprising between 129 and 256 entries = 16 x seeded players For Events comprising of more than 257 entries = 32 x seeded players

Des Jacklin wrote: Dear all Counties, As I am sure most of you are aware the BDO have received a formal letter from the WDF. The BDO board felt we ought to write to you all now to keep you in the picture so to speak. I received the same letter that you have all seen on social media (and the same letter circulated by England darts) from the WDF yesterday 3rd December, this was the first contact I had with the WDF regarding this issue. I can confirm that the BDO have had no opportunity to defend itself and it would seem that the WDF have acted purely on information gathered from social media and hearsay. Social media is playing a huge part in this issue with statements being made from many players and County officials, (all names have been noted) even the England chairman has completely ignored the legal disclaimer on the bottom of the letter and sent it out to all Counties ? This issue is now in the hands of the BDO Solicitor and after initial consultation with our legal advisers, it would seem that this letter from the WDF is in many ways unlawful. In my estimation it feels like the BDO are trying to introduce a strategy to become self-supporting in trying to get ourselves into a position of stability, but we are not allowed to do that ? It just feels like every day is another battle with someone trying to kill the company. What I can tell you all is that in any event the County system will not be affected. I will not go into to much more detail but I do promise you updates as and when I get them. Regards Des Jacklin
