an idiot asks...(Darts)

...hi could someone explain to me why Phil Taylor won a world darts title the other day, but on the BBC at the mo there is the world championships live! Are there different bodies like boxing? can anyone give me a brief guide as to the differences? cheers

Re: an idiot asks...(Darts) PDC - Professional darts council BDO - British Darts Organisation. bout 10 years a group of players broke off from the BDO and formed the PDC, they got pissed off with the BDO tieing up crappy sponsorship deals and refusing to move to sky so did it themselves. PDC has far more money in it and is generally off a higher standard imo. If you want a player to play exhibition at your pub you are looking at 1-1.5k for a PDC player, whereas 500 notes will get you a BDO guy. Taylor obviously we are talking 5k ;)
