The British Darts Organisation (BDO) has been established since 1973 and represents the whole sport of darts from grass-roots right through to national, international, professional and world levels. This includes the BRITISH INTER-COUNTY DARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS, played from September to April and involving teams (men and women) representing over 60 counties in England, Scotland and Wales - in addition to the home country national teams (men and women) of ENGLAND,WALES and SCOTLAND.

The BDO is responsible for the rules, regulations and standards by which darts is played, and its over-riding commitment is to the organisation, promotion, staging and administration of darts nationally, internationally and globally.

As such, the BDO is recognised as the governing body for the sport of darts in Britain and, as founder member of the World Darts Federation (representing over sixty darts playing nations) is justifiably proud of its status.

As a direct result of BDO/WDF rules and standards, modern day darts players tend to be younger, fitter and generally more attractive and image conscious than their latter-day counterparts, claims the organisation.

As such, BDO darts is ideally suited to sponsorship because it enjoys an enviable reputation as a national/international/worldwide sport, established, recognised, played and enjoyed by millions.
