Quote: Andy Gilder "I'd be interested to know what is written in the contract between the BDO and the BBC. If the Beeb have a contract to cover the World Championships and the event then ceases to exist, does that make the contract null and void meaning there is no contract for Hearn to honour?
Or could the directors of the BDO potentially find themselves in a legal tangle for breach of contract?'"
The BBC have the BDO World Championships till 2013. The contract was to finish after this years tournament, but the BBC extended it last September.
Not too sure what the contract is for the Winmau World Masters.
