Lakeside to be broadcast on YouTube this year; prize money for WDF World Championship also announced

WDF should have stuck to what they were, a federation that linked all darting bodies worldwide rather than becoming a tournament organiser.
They probably thought that with the collapse of the BDO they could fill that role and rival the PDC, problem there is that they have all the management skills of the BDO and not the PDC.

I never understand how there is such a discrepancy in prize money. It should be more equal, especially between the boys and girls. The boys winner earns more than double what the girls win. How will that entice girls to take up the sport.
The prize money is pretty paultry, but at least the woman's share looks better than what Trina ever used to win, her prize money was a disgrace.
Do they still pay out for the highest check out ?

I always think when BBC dropped the BDO darts that fast tracked it to its death. Lots of my friends that were casual fans of the Lakeside loved it loved watching and attending. But when it disappeared to obscure channels they lost interest and wondered if the World Championships even took place.
I am not sure if I will attend, last year's was so different and the atmosphere was flat, often half empty venue. Not sure about watching it on YouTube but if it's all we have, will have to suffice
.it's a pity it can't be on SportyStuff Channel 427 on SKY, The Modus Super Series is excellent and presented fantastically
