Last weekend, the new season of the Championship Darts Circuit (CDC) kicked off in the US state of Indiana. This tour is open to darters from Canada and the United States.
Gates managed to win the first tournament of the season in supreme fashion. Only in the quarterfinals against Stowe Buntz did "The Soulger" struggle. This match Gates won 6-4. He further defeated Paul Jones (5-0), Jared Leedy (5-0), Jake Macmillan (6-2) and Danny Baggish (7-3) to reach the final. Then, in a high-stakes final, Gates was too strong for Doug Boehm, 7-3. Gates recorded an average of 102.76 in the final, compared to 102.20 for Boehm.
The second CDC tournament proved a triumph for David Cameron. The 54-year-old Canadian successively defeated Paul Forauer (5-1), Chris Caldwell (5-1) Danny Young (6-5), Danny Baggish (6-0), Stowe Buntz (7-5) and compatriot Jeff Smith (6-5) for the title.
The entire CDC Tour in 2024 consists of fourteen tournaments. That's two more than in the previous season. The best American darter and the highest-ranked Canadian darter will receive an invitation to participate in the World Darts Championship in December.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
