BDO BRITISH OPEN
Leisure World,
Bridlington: Friday, Sept 21st to Sunday, Sept 23rd
MARTIN ADAMS and
TRINA GULLIVER, the reigning Lakeside World Professional Darts Champions and
England captains, are just two of the many world-class darts players who will be
competing in the prestigious BDO British Open at Leisure World, Bridlington.
The Men’s and Women’s Pairs will
be played on Saturday, September 22nd, followed by the Men’s and
Women’s Singles on Sunday, September 23rd.
This will be the 33rd
staging of this major BDO ranked darts tournament, which is firmly established
as one of the most popular tournaments - for both players and spectators - on
the British Darts Organisation calendar.
It also serves as an exciting
Bridlington ‘warm-up’ for the players and fans, because the Winmau World Masters
will be played in the same venue for the seventh consecutive year and shown live
on BBC TV Sport for more than seven hours over the weekend of November 17th
and 18th. The World Masters will be the richest ever two day
televised tournament in the world, with record-breaking prize money of £60,000!
“We are always delighted to
stage our major darts tournaments in Bridlington, and the British Open is one of
the biggest and most popular on our busy calendar,” says Olly Croft, Managing
Director of BDO Enterprises Ltd.
“Like the World Masters, it
attracts players from all over the world – most of whom are now familiar with
the resort and appreciate the warm welcome that they always receive from the
local people, and the unrivalled hospitality of East Riding of Yorkshire
Council.
“It is always a great pleasure
for the BDO darts family to return to Bridlington”.
The British Open provides the
perfect darts weekend for players and supporters, with a full programme of
competitive darts from Friday evening (Sept 21st ) to Sunday (23rd).
There is a ‘fun’ Men’s and
Women’s Blind Draw Pairs on Friday, followed by the main events of the weekend:
The Men’s and Women’s Pairs on Saturday and Men’s and Women’s Singles on Sunday.
The defending BDO British Open
Men’s and Women’s Singles Champions are England’s MICK REED and the No.1 Dutch
women’s player FRANCIS HOENSELAAR.
Defending Men’s and Women’s
Pairs Champions are TONY MARTIN (England) and ANDRE BRANTJES (Netherlands), and
Russian sensation ANASTASIA DOBROMYSLAVA and KARIN KRAPPEN (Netherlands).
Anastasia and Karin have held the title for the last two years.
