Unless stated otherwise all BDO Tournaments, and Championships, shall be run on a ‘Knock-Out’ basis. Special events, or multiple team Play-offs, may involve a ‘Round Robin’ basis. IE: Each player or team, plays every other player or team in that event.

 

The BDO, or its appointed Organisers, reserve the right to cancel, or change, all dates, venues, and 

scheduled darts events, without prior notice.

 

Decisions on all matters pertaining to the BDO Playing Rules in any BDO Tournament, or Championship, 

shall be made by the appointed Organisers, whose decisions shall be final and binding.

In County Play-offs, where the number of entries for that County have been allocated into sections to be 

played off at different dates, times, and playing venues, it is acceptable for players to be re-allocated on 

request.

 

Such re-allocation, however, is subject to being sanctioned in writing, by the appointed Organisers, prior to 

the date of the original allocation with a copy of the sanction being sent to the BDO Office for future 

reference in the instance of any enquiry.

 

All tournament players shall play within the BDO Playing Rules, and where necessary, any supplementary  Rules laid down in a darts event entry form, or programme.

 

Any player, or team, found guilty of deliberately losing a leg, set, or match, shall be disqualified from any 

further participation in that particular BDO darts event, that player, or team, shall also be barred from 

entering any other BDO darts event until such time as laid down by the Board of Directors.

 

No player, or team, having been knocked out of a Knock-Out Tournament, shall play again in that 

Tournament either as a substitute player, or team or in his, or their own right, excepting in those 

circumstances when a breach of the BDO Playing Rules has occurred which materially affected the losing 

player, or team, such breach not having been occasioned by the losing player, or team. The BDO appointed 

Organisers may, at their own discretion, reinstate the player, or team, in the Tournament, either in 

substitution for, or in addition to the winning player, or team. This Clause shall be construed as embracing 

any number of players up to, and including a complete team.

 

On completion of a match a ‘losing’ player must remain available to mark the next match on the assigned  matchboard on which the player in question had lost his/her match.

The player in question may arrange for another person to undertake this duty – failure to comply with this requirement then the player shall be liable to forfeit any trophy/prize money that may be due at that stage,pay a fine, or be excluded from the next scheduled darts event.

 

If a player, or team Representative, is not present at the official presentation ceremonies to receive trophies, 

prizes, or prize monies, without the BDO appointed Organiser’s or the Sponsor’s prior permission, then that 

player, or team representative, shall forfeit the right to receive any such trophies, prizes, or prize monies 

that they may be due.

 

Any player, or team, not fulfilling the playing commitments of a Tournament by failing to complete all 

scheduled matches, including Grand Finals shall forfeit the right to receive any such trophies, prizes, or 

prize monies that they may be due in relation to that respective Tournament.

 If any additional expenses are incurred due to a default by a player, or team, then that player, or team shall 

be liable for those additional expenses.

 

In the instance of a player, or team being involved in, or causing actions which are considered to have 

brought the Sport of Darts into disrepute, then that player, or team shall be liable to Disciplinary 

Proceedings being taken against the player, or team, which could mean the imposition of fines, 

suspensions, or other penalties.

 

See the BDO Code of Practice No 3 in the BDO Authorised Handbook.
