Wow. Kevin sure is looking out for the sport 
Why would you not want PDI to try to help today's BBer's suceed? I hope it helps BBer's who are having to work two jobs, don't have a sponser, or get as many photoshoots make a better living. It also looks to make the sport more worldwide - which certainly shouldn't hurt magazine sales overall - and the sport in general. I'm not certain why you mock these topics.
What I've questioned is the validity of the claims being made about this new organisation.
Even Wayne is amused by the people who come on these boards claiming to have information from him. When questioned they either ignore it or say "Why do you think you should know"
Surely basic information such as dates, venues, athletes being made avaiable wil only help the cause not hinder it?
Today we get a list of three shows. Still no venue details, No sponsor details. No names of athletes appearing. ODD?
I received an e-mail from the NY Theatre stating that the show was not confirmed yet. ODD?
One regular poster here has repeatedly attacked Shawn Ray over his show due to changes in the athletes possible appearing yet is the PDI's number one fanboy despite the fact they only have one competitor!
We were told that an agreement was made with a leadig hospital for all athletes to have a yearly medical. While everyone was applauding this, I called them up and asked for the details. Turns out that there was no agreement.
If this is a genuine organisation with genuine intentions to help grow the sport then I wish it well but until I see something more substantial than a "press release" I'm not going to jump from the roof tops like others here.
