dartbhoy · 19-12-2010 07:15PM #1

With the BDO World Championship starting in less than a fortnight away it's time to start an offical thread on the tournament. The tournament starts on January 1st and runs till the final on January 9th. Coverage of the tournament is on BBC 1 and 2 with all games live on BBC interactive (red button).

The full draw is here and i've divided it into the 4 quarters so it's easier to work out who'll possibly meet who in the latter stages of the tournament.

1st QUARTER;
Dave Prins(16) v John Walton
Martin Adams(1) v Tony West
Willy Van De Wiel(9) v Alan Soutar
Tony O'Shea(8) v Ross Smith

2nd QUARTER
Mark Barilli(12) v Martin Phillips
Joey Ten Berge(5) v Shaun Griffiths
Gary Robson(13) v Steve Douglas
Steve West(4) v Dave Chisnall
_________________________________________________________________

Stuart Kellett(2) v Darryl Fitton
Garry Thompson(10) v Arno Merk

Here are a list of the latest odds from various betting firms,link; www.oddschecker.com/other-sports/darts/bdo-darts-world-championship/bdo-darts-world-championships/winner

Personally I reckon Robbie Green is a great price at 40/1 and I'm going investing on him each way to reach the final. I also think that TonyO'Shea could reach the final from the other half of the draw,he should meet Martin Adams in the quarter final and I think Adams will be knocked out by O'Shea.

Personally wouldn't bet on Kellet, Montgomery or Greene from that side of the draw.

In the top half wouldn't be surprised if Walton had a good run.

The finalist from the bottom half will come out of the match between Waites and Hankey........... It will then be between the 2 martins on the other side of the draw.............

Fitton unseeded, O Shea number 8, Waites number 6, Hankey unseeded, Chisnall unseeded. Ok, how on earth do the BDO do their seeding.

I'm going for an Adams / Waites final.

dartbhoy · 26-12-2010 09:06AM

The schedule of matches has been announced and here's a link to the schedule,link; www.bdodarts.com/newsitem.aspx?summary=true&cid=1000&nid=1073

As regards TV coverage there is no live coverage of the afternoon session on the mainstream BBC channels on the opening day! Only those with the red button on their TV's will be able to watch the opening afternoon session. There is live coverage of the evening session on BBC 2 starting at 6 00 which explains why the Adams v Tony West game has been moved to the evening session.

I will post more information on TV coverage as soon as it becomes available.

The rankings are based on the BDO invitational tables which is players doing the tour throughout the year and gaining points towards the table.

Chisnall and Hankey were guaranteed their places in Lakeside because of Chisnall's appearance at the final last January and Hankey been World Champion in 2009 so both players didn't really do the tour this year. Fitton only had an average year and finished outside the seedings position but did enough to qualify from about 20th position.

Just looking for a screenshot as I can't access those sites in work!

Lakeside starts tomorrow but you wouldn't know such has been the complete lack of media coverage surrounding the event! With the Worlds at Ally Pally in full swing and on till Monday January 3rd there probably won't be much interest in this event until Ally Pally is over.

The action kicks off tomorrow at 1 00pm but there is no live coverage of the afternoon session on the mainstream BBC channels! There will be live coverage of all the darts tomorrow on BBC red button from 1 00pm to 11 00pm. BBC 2 will have live coverage tomorrow evening from 6 00pm to 7 25pm.

Here is the schedule for tomorrow's games;

1 00pm Davy Prins v John Walton
1 50pm Willy Van De Wiel v Alan Soutar
2 40pm Mark Barilli v Martin Phillips
3 30pm Ross Montgomery v Alan Norris
6 00pm Martin Adams v Tony West
6 50pm Gary Robson v Steve Douglas

The Adams v West game is the stand out game tomorrow.Adams been defending champion should win this against the 2003 World Masters champion Tony West who has reportedly been ill with flu the past few days,not the best preparation going into a game against Adams.

dartbhoy · 31-12-2010 11:37AM

Here is a list of odds from Boylesports;

Adams 7/2,Waites 4/1,O'Shea 11/2,Chisnall 7/1,Hankey 16/1,Kellett 20/1, Phillips,Winstanley,Montgomery,Fitton 25/1,Green 33/1,Bunting 40/1,Walton,Ten Berge,Griffiths 50/1,Robson 60/1,Atkins,Woods 66/1,Thompson,Prins,Mitchell 70/1,Steve West,Dekker 80/1,Van De Wiel 100/1,Tony West,Boulton,Norris 125/1,Soutar,Douglas,Smith,Barilli,Merk 150/1.

The live coverage tomorrow evening on BBC 2 will not be on BBC 2 Northern Ireland! BBC are showing less interest in Lakeside each year!

You can't blame them in a way. Most of the seeded BDO players would get demolished by the respectable seeds in the PDC.

Personally I blame the BDO. The top brass in the BDO have been there far too long and seem to have no interest in promoting Lakeside.

As regards BDO seeds been destroyed by PDC players I don't agree with this,a lot of BDO players that made the move over have done quite well and in the recent Grand Slam the BDO players performed very well and Scott Waites ended up champion.

The rumours in other forums about the BBC wanting to make moves into the PDC could be true considering they don't seem to have too much interest in the BDO but as I said earlier the BDO are to blame here.

syngindub · 31-12-2010 07:35PM

BDO need a good kick up the árse to get some promotion into this event. I mean, these are the ones with the massive history and legendary matches. up the prize money and try to persuade a few names from the pdc back over.
I always found it a bit **** having the two organizations though.

apparently the rights for the grand slam of darts are up for renewal and the bbc are after it

Afternoon session results;

Prins 1 Walton 3.
Van De Wiel 3 Soutar 1.
Barilli 0 Phillips 3.
Montgomery 1 Norris 3.

The Montgomery v Norris game was a quality game and the best of the day IMO. I backed Norris @ 15/8 with Boylesports to win so happy days:D. Van De Wiel v Soutar was another quality game with outstanding finishing by Van De Wiel the highlight of the game. Prins v Walton was a poor game and Barilli never turned up against Phillips making it all too easy for Phillips who still threw very well.

unknown13 · 01-01-2011 05:11PM

This is the second year on the trot that Montgomery has gone out in the first round despite being seeded high.

He missed far too many doubles today and was punished every time by Norris.The 2nd set was the turning point in the match,at 1-1 in legs and Montgomery with the throw he had 56 left and hit the single 16 only to miss 2 darts at double top. In stepped Norris T20 T20 D12!

I'm not sorry to see Montgomery gone after his antics in the Northern Ireland Open 2 months ago where he tried to get a player thrown out of the tournament.

Juwwi · 01-01-2011 06:28PM

Martin Adams is in a bit of trouble.1 set down and 2 legs down

dartbhoy · 01-01-2011 06:49PM

West has thrown this 1 away! Adams 2 sets to 1 up now but he can count himself very lucky,West threw away the 2nd set. Sadly it looks like an Adams win coming up here:(.

dartbhoy · 02-01-2011 12:40AM

Evening session results;

Adams 3 Tony West 1.
Gary Robson 3 Steve Douglas 0.

Gary Robson done a 170 finish in his game!

pudzy · 02-01-2011 09:17AM

guys, this is over b4 it starts. waites at 4/1 , paddy power is having a laugh ..

handy money . get in there .

dartbhoy · 02-01-2011 11:06AM

There's live coverage of the darts today on BBC 2 from 1 00pm to 4 45pm and again at 5 30pm to 6 50pm. Coverage on the red button starts at 1 00pm and runs straight through till 11 00pm. Here is a schedule of today's matches;

1 00pm Steve West v Dave Chisnall.
1 50pm Tony O'Shea v Ross Smith.
2 40pm Joey Ten Berge v Shaun Griffiths.
3 30pm Garry Thompson v Arno Merk.
5 30pm Stuart Kellett v Darryl Fitton.
6 20pm Scott Mitchell v Jan Dekker.

The closest match of the afternoon session should be Ten Berge v Griffiths. Griffiths is sponsored by none other than Sky Sports darts commentator John Gwynne! Fitton will be up against it in the evening session against Kellett while Mitchell v Dekker should be another close game.
