World darts Championship

You may have noticed (especially if you watch Sky Sports) which around Christmas and new year there are rather many darts on television. This is due to the fact that two Championships are played. It is very unusual in any sport (other than boxing), but how we arrive at this?

Darts is a game that became popular among the working classes and often played in pubs.In 1973, the British organisation darts was formed (BDO) and this has led to first World Championships world in 1978.Fléchettes began to enjoy a golden age of tournaments were screened on the BBC and ITV and players such as Eric Bristow, John Lowe and Jocky Wilson became household names.

However a fateful day in 1980 a BBC Comedy programme entitled 'Pas nine new hours' (starring Mel Smith and Gryth Rhys Jones) screened a sketch mocking darts, players they swallow spend pints to approach .Bien the popularity of the game surrendered not at this time, the damage done to the image of the game were huge. Followed by a slow decline in 1988, ITV had stopped showing completely darts and World Championships was the only event left on television.

Initial growth of darts has led to an influx of players wishing to ply their trade, but with television coverage now dwindling with cash prizes sponsors to the left of this sport, the players become disillusioned with the BDO, which they could do more to promote the game. The transition to ban alcohol scene 1989 players have little to improve the public image of arrows and darts players.In 1992, a group of sixteen players formed the World Council of darts (WDC) .the group consisted of each world champion of previous active as Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow and John Lowe. Leighton Rees, who had already retired was the only previous world champion not accede. The first event staged WDC has been Lada UK control in the same year.

In 1993, WDC players competed at the BDO Championship as usual while wearing their new WDC badges on their sleeves. BDO their to remove badges requested later. Players then decides whether the BDO would not recognize their organization abhor it own way and form a separate tour. The WDC has signed an agreement with Sky television in three tournaments, one year.This led in turn to another Championship of the world with the first held in 1994 (even if it had begun the day after Christmas 1993) with Dennis Priestley won the screen.

The WDC has changed its name to the company professional darts (CFP).The relationship between the bodies of two darts remain uncomfortable after a beloved three-year legal battle ended in 1997.The CFP has the largest touring with more events and more prize money, while the BDO has retained the BBC coverage and visualization to be terrestre.Le PDC television audiences served develop tournaments in United States Australia Netherlands, South Africa and Germany among others.PDC events television Home UK are broadcast on Sky.A major development for darts in 2007 was the return of ITV to the grand slam of darts .the ' event was unusual because it is executed by the PDC, but was open to players who have won or runners in major events of PDC and BDO in the previous two years.The only player who refused to play was the champion BDO then Martin Adams.

So with professional bodies two once again happy to hate each other to the detriment of this sport, it seems that we world champions darts for years to venir.Cette year, John part (CFP) and Mark Webster (BDO) o.d. ' one hand, there are more darts to look at, but surely there should be as a single real world champion.
