IDL COURT RULING

 

The British Darts Organisation understands that a ruling in the Dutch courts on April 25th has ordered that the four PDC ‘wild card’ players – Mervyn King, Jelle Klassen, Michael Van Gerwen and Vincent van der Voort – must play in the Preliminary Round of the Topic International Darts League on Friday, May 4th.

The players went to court claiming that, in their opinion, they should be allowed to compete in the First Round proper of the IDL without any prior qualification.

It is further understood by the BDO that this claim was rejected by the court and now, as previously agreed in an out of court settlement by the promoter and broadcaster with the British Darts Organisation (April 13th),  the 4 players will have to play in the 32 man Preliminary qualifying round before the main event gets under way.

The Preliminary Round will produce 8 players who will go through to the First Round proper on Saturday, May 5th.   

The 2007 IDLwill be played from May 5th to 13th and comprise eight four-man groups of 12 BDO/WDF players from the final IDL Invitation Table, 12 players from the PDC Order of Merit and the eight qualifiers from the Preliminary Round.

Unfortunately, Ted Hankey and John Walton from the Top 12 of the BDO/WDF rankings, have decided to turn down the invitation to compete, as have a number of other players, due to the uncertainty of the last few weeks.

INACCURATE REPORT CONCERNING 2007 INTERNATIONAL DARTS LEAGUE

 

Our report concerning the players taking part in the International Darts League 2007 was inaccurate. The report stated that the 28 named players had "accepted" their invitations to play in the event. We are reliably informed that this is not the case and that some players have not yet confirmed their invitations.
