EspañolWORLD DARTS TROPHY
The 'Bullit World Darts Trophy' is a darts tournament held each September at De Vechtsebanen in Utrecht, Netherlands. The tournament has a playing format comparable with the two World Championships - BDO World Darts Championship and PDC World Darts Championship.
First held in 2002, the tournament was played under the World Darts Federation, British Darts Organisation and the NDB (Nederlandse Darts Bond - the Dutch governing body of darts) and predominantly featured players from those organisations.
However, for the first time PDC players were invited to the event in 2006. Phil Taylor, Colin Lloyd, Ronnie Baxter, Peter Manley and Raymond van Barneveld all joined the top ranked players from the BDO. From 2007 onwards the WDT will include the top 12 players in the PDC Order of Merit and four PDC Qualifiers. That means that there will be 16 PDC players at 2007 WDT and 12 from the BDO with another 4 wildcards. The BDO have an agreement with the organisers of the WDT through to 2010 to allow their top players to compete in this event. [1]
