#darts Column 424 - Who’s the Real Darts World Champion? Dartoid's World
For years Dartoid’s World has made the case that the center of the darts universe has been shifting. Now it has.
I have written that the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) should wake up and smell the noodles, that it should take its act to Asia. It hasn’t.
It’s difficult to figure. There’s good business to be had. Barry Hearn is a great businessman (and he has really nice hair).

SOPA/PIPA: Down but not out (yet) - Computerworld Blogs
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) have both taken some pretty serious body blows over the last few days, but it would be premature to write them off just yet.
...
The sponsors of the bills have made it clear that they are intent on passing some sort of legislation to deal with what they claim is the unfettered theft of U.S. IP and copyright by rogue foreign sites. The developments of the last few days are likely to slow the momentum of the bills somewhat.

Suff you should know about "SOPA" - Electronic Frontier Foundation
"Laws around the world are forcing service providers like ISPs to act as judges for what's valid speech on the Internet, using copyright as an excuse to cut off speech and infringe on the privacy rights of users," EFF Activism Director Rainey Reitman said. "For example, in the United States, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) could undermine long-standing legal protections for intermediaries and could potentially 'blacklist' many popular websites–like Etsy, Flickr, and Vimeo. The Global Chokepoints project will help concerned citizens fight dangerous legislation around the world."

#darts BDO World Darts Championship: Give Peace a Chance by Lenny Boyle
After our old pals compete for glory, the guys we see on TV multiple times a year, something strange happens; a few days after the Darts World Championship comes to a conclusion and a new Champion is crowned, another Darts World Championship begins only with less fanfare, with less blockbuster special effects and polished production values. As Tony Walsh puts it, “Sky will make snail racing look good.”

Clinical Adams sweeps aside promising Mitchell #darts #BDO
Clinical Adams sweeps aside promising Mitchell
Top seed and defending champ Martin Adams produced a clinical performance to whitewash local man Scott Mitchell 3-0 in just 26 minutes.
The experienced defending champ recovered from a nervy opening set in which he missed a string of doubles to book his place in the last 16. It means the 55-year-old veteran from Peterborough remains on course for a third successive title. Only one other player has won the title in three successive years – that was the legendary five times winner Eric Bristow. The Crafty Cockney completed the feat back in 1986.

Ton-up finishes drive former green keeper O Shea into second round
Former green keeper Tony O’Shea teed up his title intentions clubbing Steve West 3-0 in a 27-minute thriller.
The eighth seed blasted out 140 and 142 checkouts en-route to his convincing victory over West, who lives in the Netherlands. For the second successive game nerves dominated the opening set. The fact that both players threw a total of 54 darts trying to achieve doubles summed up the tension in the opening set, snatched by a grateful eighth seed 3-2.

Ninth seed Ross “The Boss” Montgomery brushed aside Dutch painter Fabian Roosenbrand 3-1 in an entertaining 35-minute encounter. But after the match the Glaswegian admitted: “I will need to sharpen up my doubles for my next match with Tony (O-Shea) or he will punish me.
“When I was 2-0 up I thought I was in command but Fabian came back well. Overall I felt that I deserved to get past the first round,” said a smiling Montgomery.

other criteria, waiver of the day membership fee that will commence in year 2, and waiver of

(NAOoM) would include the results from the NAPT Pro Events only. It would include results on a 2 year running total basis with the results from Pro Events in the 1st year being eliminated on the anniversary of the 3rd year of those Pro Events.
8. The NAOoM would be used to select
North American players to attend PDC Main Events such as the World Championship, the US and Canada PDC World Cup Teams, and possible other PDC Main Championship Events.
