    The 2014 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships will be played from Saturday, January 4th to Sunday, January 12th, 2014 and will be bigger and better than ever!
    The largest ever field of 40 Men and 16 Women will be competing for the most prestigious titles in World Darts.

    The first three World Professional Championships from 1978 to 1980 were contested by just 16 Men, but from 1981 to 2013 the field was increased to 32 Men. The Women's World Championship was introduced by the BDO in 2001 and has always been contested by 8 Women. Now it is being increased to 16 Women from the 2014 Lakeside World Professional onwards.

    "This is a significant, exciting and progressive step forward", says BDO Tournament Director Wayne Williams. "Not only does it illustrate the global increase in the higher standards of BDO and WDF players, but it also satisfies the growing TV audiences created by TV coverage from BBC, ESPN and Europsort.
    "Needless to say, we are delighted to be providing even more valuable opportunities for our players - men and women - as we move the BDO forward and enhance the most prestigious Championships in world darts".

    The additional 8 Men for the 2014 World Pro will earn their places from competition within the worldwide regions of the WDF: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia, Baltic & Scandinavia and the USA. All have regional ranking tables which are accessible on the BDO website by click on the Tables drop-down menu.

    The remaining 32 players will come from the BDO Invitational Table, the World Professional International Play-Offs and include the Winmau World Masters Champion if not already qualified.
    The 16 Women will come from the BDO Invitation Table, the World Professional International Play-Offs and include the Winmau World Masters Champion if not already Qualified.

    The BBC contract for the BDO Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships has been extended by three years up to and including 2016.

  • Dubai Duty Free Masters 2013

    http://www.pdc.tv/news/article/1…asters-launched

    THE world's top eight darts players are to visit Dubai this year for the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters, which will be played on May 23 & 24 at the Dubai Tennis Stadium as the first leg of the PDC's World Series of Darts.
    Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, the reigning and 16-time World Champion, will head the field of eight players who will compete in the knockout event, the first-ever professional darts tournament to be held in Dubai.
    Taylor will be joined by seven world-class rivals in competing in the two-day event at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.

    Two-time World Champion Adrian Lewis, the world number two, is joined by seven-time major title winner James Wade, World Grand Prix champion Michael van Gerwen, European Champion Simon Whitlock, two-time major finalists Andy Hamilton and Wes Newton and five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld in challenging for the title.
    Commenting on the event, Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman of Dubai Duty Free said: "This is the first time that a professional darts tournament has been staged in Dubai and the first time that darts will be played in an outdoor arena.

    "We think that this sport, which is growing in popularity across the world, will be a good addition to Dubai's busy sports and social calendar."
    The players will initially compete in four knockout quarter-final matches on Thursday May 23, before the semi-finals and final are held on Friday May 24 to determine the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters champion.
    "The Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters is an exciting event and I'm delighted that we'll be coming to Dubai in May," said Taylor, who launched the event on Wednesday.
    "I've never had the chance to play there before so it's great for me and the other players that we'll be able to play for such a great title.
    "The sport's growing around the world and it's a great chance for fans in both Dubai and from across the Middle East to see a live event, and hopefully this will be the seed for the tournament to grow in the coming years."

    With players from 21 countries having competed recently in the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship and 24 nations taking part in February's Betfair World Cup of Darts, the PDC see the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters as an important stepping-stone in the sport's worldwide growth.

    "Darts is already a hugely popular sport in both Dubai and across the Middle East due to the live television coverage of our events on OSN, but it's a very positive development to be staging the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

    "Darts fans in Dubai will now get to see the best players in darts in the flesh for the first time in May and this tournament will give them the chance to experience a full PDC event live.
    "Our aim is that the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters will be the inaugural tournament in a World Series of Darts which will see our top players taking the sport around the world, and our negotiations are continuing to turn this vision into a reality."

    The event, which is sponsored by Dubai Duty Free and was brokered by One Events and Radar, will be shown live across the Middle East on Dubai Sports and through OSN, with further live coverage to be confirmed.
    One-day tickets for the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters will be sold at AED199, with early bird season tickets to cover both days sold at AED299. VIP Tickets (front two rows) will be sold as season tickets at AED495.
