At the climax of the Last 32 match between Richie George and Ryan Searle during the 2013 Winmau World Masters, streaming footage has shown that the last dart of the game landed outside of the double 10 segment.
Following Board level discussions the BDO would like to apologise for not issuing a statement sooner but a thorough investigation needed to be conducted. This has now concluded and the Board have agreed that a full review of tournament match play rules will be undertaken.
Tournament Director Wayne Williams said:
"This was a rare and genuine mistake however the incident has highlighted a contradiction in the rules which will be addressed as a matter of urgency."
