Bounce Out: The Fall of the British Darts Organisation is the
fascinating and insightful tale of a once-proud sports organisation that
led the evolution of darts across the world, bringing the working-class
game to a TV audience and introducing the public to darting icons
including Eric Bristow, Bobby George, Phil Taylor and many more. From
the outside, the golden era of darts in the 1980s seemed rosy, yet all
was not well behind the scenes, culminating in the infamous split in the
1990s as the darting landscape changed forever. As a new era for the BDO
began, they looked to outwit their rivals at the PDC and seemed in
control of their darting future. But with the PDC juggernaut in full
swing, the BDO began its descent to darting despair, lurching from one
disaster to another, with bitter in-fighting, tournament fiascos and
poor administration, which ultimately saw its demise in 2020 along with
the rise of a new darting hierarchy. Bounce Out is the story of the
British Darts Organisation and its descent into oblivion.
