Seems like Ole Holtkamp has been banned from national tournaments because of unsportsmanlike behaviour yesterday. He abused and disturbed an opponent during the German Masters and you could hear much of it in the lifestream #darts

German Ole Holtkamp stood out in recent months for his good performance on the Challenge Tour. Now he is in the spotlight because of very different things.
During the German Masters on Saturday, Holtkamp insulted his opponent, which could also be heard on the livestream, German journalist Kevin Barth reported. In addition, Holtkamp allegedly disturbed his opponent several times while the person was throwing his darts.
It now appears that the German has been banned from national tournaments for unsportsmanlike conduct. Whether the PDC will follow suit and whether Holtkamp will be allowed to play on the Challenge Tour is not yet clear.
The next tournaments of this circuit will take place from 11 to 13 August.

- 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
