Darts Across the Pond with World Matchplay
Darts Across the Pond with World Matchplay
By Karl Remick, ADA VP
Each year the William Hill World Darts Championship is held across the Christmas and New Year period at London’s Alexandra Palace in England. Alexandra Palace is an historic entertainment venue in London. It’s designed to serve as a public center of recreation, education and entertainment and as North London’s counterpart to the Crystal Palace in South London. Since Darts is a competitive recreational sport, they find it’s a perfect spot to host this annual event. The dates for the 2017/2018 tournament event have not yet been confirmed. Tickets are likely to go on sale in June or July 2017 but fans are advised to check www.pdc.tv/tickets on a regular basis. The field of qualifiers is confirmed at the end of November, with the draw made soon afterwards.
For us here in the United States, The PDC came this past month with their World Series of Darts, July 13th – 15th at the Tropicana Casino in Las Vegas, NV. With the success of the PDC event here in the United States, World Matchplay invites you to check out the latest updates: http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/y/19/Darts.html
World Matchplay continues their success through their online sports betting opportunities. Almost any sport you’re looking to get a bet on, World Matchplay can offer it! This includes such games as Poker, Scratchgames and even Bingo! Contact World Matchplay for more information with their link above.
We look forward to see if the rumors are true with the PDC World Series of Darts Festival coming back to the United States in 2018. If so the American Darters Association will be looking at qualifiers to send our members to compete in this grand event in our nation’s playground. Continue to check back for more updates on both the PDC and World Matchplay.
