It seems that the bridge between the 2 rival bodies of darts is taking a step closer to unification. Barry Hearn has announced a new event that will include the top stars of the BDO & WDF Darts world system to compete with the top players from the PDC.
The event is scheduled to go ahead in November and will be staged in Wolverhampton at the Civic centre.
The prize fund is a mouth watering £250,000 purse.
However, more than the money and which code has the best players the bottom line is that both codes Professional Dart Players all play the same game under the same rules and codes of conduct and it will be amazing for the darts public to see a totally new mix of matches and with it hopefully some really passionate head to heads.
This Grand Slam event will be the closest World Darts has had to as real World Championship in over 14 years.
The prize fund structure goes down to the first round players and inclusion in this event will guarantee at least £3,000.
