After agreeing to cooperate with the Dutch Darts Association (NDB), ADC Europe has also entered into cooperation with the Belgian Darts Corporation (BDC). Moreover, opportunities for cooperation with the Féderation Luxembourgeoise de Darts and the Scandinavian countries are currently being explored.
Thus, ADC Europe is slowly building partnerships with the various country organizations and in the coming months and years they hope to expand this further across continental Europe.
ADC Europe will first organize two tournaments, called the Benelux Masters (December 2023) and the Benelux Trophy 2024 (June/July 2024). In these tournaments a maximum of 192 players from the Benelux will participate and will be played in pools, where each player will play a minimum of two matches. For both tournaments there is a minimum guaranteed total prize pool of 3.000€ and the best four players will qualify for the MODUS Super Series.
With collaborations already underway, ADC Europe has sent all NDB member associations, BDC and FLD a letter, registration form and presentation in which ADC Europe gives these unions the opportunity to purchase packages.
A package consists of sending 3 adults for the Benelux Masters and 3 adults for the Benelux Trophy. And there is the option to take more than one package. Both tournaments are mixed tournaments, also because the best four players of both tournaments may participate in the MODUS Super Series, where the ladies also compete against the men on this unique stage for the amateur darts. The federations themselves decide in which way their members can qualify, for example Ranking or Qualification Tournaments.
ADC Europe has also approached the various Dutch Wild Associations this week, in which they can also purchase the package, but they also have the option to delegate players for the NDB Masters (of course in cooperation with the Dutch Darts Association). If there are any Dutch Wild Associations that have not yet received anything from ADC Europe, or if you know of one that might be interested, please send an email to [email protected]. Then ADC Europe will take care of further contact.
Only 64 packages have been made available by ADC Europe and the deadline is set for Sept. 31, 2023.
ADC Europe will also use the coming period to look at the possibilities for an ADC European Tour, where again the necessary titles, prize money and spots for the MODUS Super Series can be earned. We are also looking at the option of starting with 'The Vault' system, which also runs in the UK and is a very successful Amateur Darts Circuit concept for the regional darter.
