The Masters of Darts ‘Show Down’ is coming back in 2010 bigger and better!

Their hugely successful Show Down Pro Darts Tournament back in March 2009 featuring crowned winner Gary Anderson, runner up James Wade, with John Part, Adrian Lewis, Wayne Mardle, Peter Manley, Mark Webster And Bob Anderson to a capacity crowd of 800 in Leicestershire crowning it the largest independent pro tournament ever to be held in the East Midlands and the 2^nd Largest in the UK to date second only to the December Dazzler in Yorkshire.

TMOD are scouting and considering possible venues in the UK for the ‘Show Down’ Pro Tournament 2010, rumoured dates are likely to be in April or May with a prize fund in excess of £15,000.

Gary Anderson was crowned at this The Masters of Darts Show Down Champion momentous event beating James Wade in an ‘all guns blazing’ final, in fact the whole event saw some of the world’s best darts play vying for the Title to an audience whom came all over from the UK, USA, Holland, Canada, France, Spain and Germany hosted by the famous MC Paul Booth with Caller and referee Little Richard and scorers Scot Gibling and Paul Wilson.

TMOD took a step back from live events after their Double Dutch Pro Exhibition featuring Barneveld and Van Der Voort in June 2009, reflecting instead on the live darts events circuit to bring the audiences and the players a new and exciting concept.

Several months in the working they emerged from the drawing board and came back with the fantastic new darts game and brand of darts events entitled Charge the Bull and with it is their new darts game ‘Charge the Bull 21’ and live event show ‘Challenge the Pro’, the first of which is in January 2010 in Nottingham teaming up with Davie Hanson and his MIB along with MC Paul Wilson.

TMOD Commented “2010 is an important year The Masters of Darts and Charge the Bull and will see some of the best events in the UK; the PDC and BDO are the big boys and they do a fantastic job of bringing the ever popular sport of Darts to the world and it’s thanks to them that darts is one of the best live action sports for spectators and participants. Where we fit in is bringing audiences the same high quality game play and professional darts event production utilizing the world class quality roster of players from both the PDC and BDO right to the audiences’ door step; maintaining value for money, accessibility and blazing hot competitive quality darts match play.

We have no plans now or ever to become a 3^rd echelon of darts we will happily leave that to the likes of PDC and BDO. We came up with the new darts game and brand of darts events Charge the Bull for the competitive and casual arena of darts events. It will make for an exciting and different event experience for the players and audiences alike, helping to maintain the popularity of the sport, mixing it up with different events offering our game of Charge the Bull21 and 501 working with the best stage crew and talent such as Paul Booth, Paul Wilson, Russ Bray, Richard Ashdown, Davie Hanson to name but a few championing the sport of darts to a mass audience of fans both old and new.”

Rumours have it TMOD are producing the ‘Show Down’ as another Pro Invitational Tournament with 16 pro players playing for a prize fund of in excess of £15,000 and to be televised live to the world. Later in the year they are planning the first and the largest open tournament of its kind ‘Charge the Bull 21 UK Open Challenge’ which is set to be run over several months in the UK for qualifying resulting in a grand final, the prize fund is undisclosed at this point but is rumoured to be in the region of £30,000 - £50,000 and again be televised live to the world.

The Masters of Darts truly have set the bar high for independent professional darts events, there are sadly some poor carbon copies of their posters and events all over the place and I’m sure there will be more to follow!

The ones to catch are the The Masters of Darts next Show Down Tournament in late spring 2010, Their Challenge the Pro exhibition events, the December Dazzler by Wilson Darts Promotions (if there is one in 2010, admittedly I missed Dazzler 3 last week having only returned from Vegas on Saturday...but i hear it was an amazing event), the Legends of the Oche and TMOD’s Charge the Bull events in 2010 and I for one will be right there in Nottingham in January for the first ever Challenge the Pro with the MIB players. obviously it goes with saying that the PDC and BDO have a full diary of events throughout 2010, so go and check them out and keep darts alive and kicking!
