About time

Brilliant news

Thank God for that.

Pdc need to sort themselves out now. Disgraceful allowing van Leuven to play in the Women's Matchplay on Sunday.

Common sense restored then.

Great news! Well done those voters at the general membership meeting.
Van Leuven will be ripping mad.

Bullseye!

Ah lets have a look at what you could have won.....

I don't really follow darts but the other organisation, the pdc, is bigger at the pro level, right, and still allows men to choose which sex category they want to play in?

Van Leuven plays in the PDC women's series @Greyskybluesky. They're still refusing to change their stance. I suspect it will take someone taking them to court to get them to remove him

Ah thanks for the clarification. Still some way to go then

Well done World Darts Federation.

I suspect that the PDC comps will suffer the ramifications of allowing males to continue to play in the female comp. There is highly likely to be less female darts players in the comp and I wonder what they will do if male people continue to win in the female comp.

Thank god we’re starting to see the domino effect. I was always surprised that sports allowed such blatant in-your-face cheating. Now that a few have pulled themselves together and said No, I hope the rest will hurry up and restore women’s rights before they start being called sexist dinosaurs.

Yes the PDC split from the now defunct British Darts Organisation (BDO) some time ago when money started to come into the game. The WDF then replaced the BDO .

(World Darts has dun a)

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!

I've seen so many posts that are mocking this and are claiming there's definitely no advantage in darts.
People don't understand women at all. They can't conceive that just getting to the board to play is more difficult for women than men. Before any of the other advantages men have.

Yes, I have too. Along the lines of "duh! It's just throwing darts at a board! There's no physical advantage."

By the same token, we could say:
football - duh! It's just kicking a ball around a pitch! No physical advantage.
swimming - duh! It's just moving through water! No physical advantage.
etc.
etc.

Not to mention as you say, actually getting to the board, getting time to play etc.
Save women's sports ✊

Oh had missed this! Great news.

Sad trumpet

Good news (and about time too). Hopefully the judge in the darts court case will be reading this as he ponders his decision.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven to compete in men’s field at 2025 WDF World Masters after rule change
