A double BDO tournament success may have sealed a Grand Slam of Darts spot for Richard Veenstra.
The Dutchman won both the BDO British Classic and the BDO British Open during a superb weekend in Bridlington. The pair of wins saw the Dutchman fly into the eighth provisional spot for the BDO's Grand Slam line-up. It means that if he or a fellow top eight member wins the World Masters, 'Flyers' will appear in Wolverhampton.
Mark McGeeney currently holds the top spot in the rankings, followed by Glen Durrant. Then come Jim Williams, beaten British Classic finalist Wesley Harms and Scott Mitchell. Michael Unterbuchner's meteoric rise continues, with the German claiming the sixth spot. Veteran Gary Robson sits in the seventh of eight available places.
The BDO stars will join 24 PDC qualifiers for the event at Aldersley Leisure Village in November.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
