BDO 9-Dart Club


The BDO 9-Dart Club was an initiative launched and partnered by the British Darts Organisation and long-term sponsor Winmau in January 2013, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the British Darts Organisation, with membership restricted to darts players that achieved a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.
Players that achieved this feat were presented with a unique set of laser-etched tungsten darts in a laser-etched aluminium presentation case as a permanent keepsake from Winmau. There was no specified limit as to how many times a player or team could be inducted if they achieved a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.
