My good wife received a phone call yesterday from our friend/sponsor in holland after he was called up by the NDB (dutch darts) stating that they had been contacted by the BDO.
The BDO had contacted them and said Anastasia could not play in the Dutch open because she was not a BDO member.
This is very true, Anastasia is not a BDO member. Anastasia is infact a WDF member as part of the Russian Darts Federation, So with this being a WDF event she is entitled to play. The Russian president of darts has sent a letter to the WDF stating this.
BUT!!!!! We were then told that if she did not join the BDO should would not be awarded BDO points. Now I ask this, Is this the truth. If it is, then great, We love it, As it means anybody else not a member of the BDO can not also have points, So people from Holland, Germany, Belgium play for WDF points the same as Anastasia, This in turn making Lakeside a truly World event.
Hope anyone from the BDO or associated with the BDO can help with any answers on this matter.

Das sind Sachen die ich bei der BDO zum Kotzen finde!
Was für ein Witz! Anastasia darf nicht die Dutch Open spielen weil Sie kein BDO Mitglied ist!
Dabei könnte man die Rückkehr von Anastasia gut verkaufen......
Wie wird man ein BDO Mitglied?
