The Dates for the Junior Darts Corporations World Finals, World Cup Team Event and European Open are now to played over the weekend of the 14th-16th of December 2018.

The Event will still take place in Bristol England. The JDC have decided to keep the event in Bristol due to its transport links in the U.K. and nearby airport for our overseas players. 

World Cup Team Event 14/12/18

European Open 15/12/18

JDC World Finals 16/12/18

The actual World Final will still be played at the Alexandra Palace in London during the PDC's World Darts Championship days after the completion of the JDC's event. 

It was a spirited opening day of Development Tour action from the JDC scholarship players, with two of the three players entered, reaching the last 32.
Both Jakob Kelly and Jarred Cole put in excellent displays as they reached last 32 in the opening tournament of the day.
Following two convincing victories in the opening rounds, Kelly faced Thomas Lovely for a place in the last 16, but after failing to find his scoring form in the latter stage of the match, bowed out 4-2.

Jarred Cole, Keelan Kay and Jakob Kelly will arrive in Wigan this Saturday ahead of the start of the Unicorn Development tour 2018. All three players earn't themselves a free pass to the development tour for the whole of 2018 via an exclusive PDPA Scholarship only achieved through the JDC'S Junior darts tour. The top three players in the JDC'S Tour OOM aged over 16 qualify for a free pass to the following years Development tour. 

Brad Phillips made it 2 out of 2 on his quest to make the most of the JDC's 2018 Tour.
Already qualified for the Junior World finals in December by virtue of winning Tour 1 in Dorchester, Phillips is looking to stay at the top of the Modus Tour OOM and take advantage of the up and coming World Cup Team event in December.
The top 4 English players in the tour OOM at the end of the year will represent England in the prestigious team event. With that and the opportunity to bag a World finals spot, a JDC Allstar position and a PDPA Scholarship, it was a great turn out in Worcester. 60 players came and the 2 finalists Jordan Ward & Brad Phillips had very different journeys to the final.

Brad Phillips claimed a JDC World finals spot last weekend by winning the first Tour event of 2018. Phillips had earned his spot in the final with some solid darts and a tight match victory over tour regular Freddie Francis in the semi
final, assured a chance to win the event.

The Junior Darts Corporation in partnership with the International Darts Corporation have set out a long term project to begin the growth of the sport at a junior level across Asia. Beginning in China the JDC and IDC will lay out the foundations to create a junior structure for darts to encompass academies, education, tournaments and a centre of excellence near Shanghai.

UK DARTS TOUR

February marks the beginning of the Modus UK Junior Darts tour 2018.

This year in total, there will be 8 qualifying events for junior players aged between 10 and 18 years old to book a place in the WDS Junior World Darts Championship finals in December. The actual final of this event will take place on stage at the Alexandra Palace London during the William Hill World Darts Championship.

 

Each winner of any of the 8 events will automatically qualify for the finals, however the tour also offers an order of merit system that will give the opportunity for a further 8 players to qualify for the world finals.

 

In addition the tour also offers the opportunity for the event winners to become part of the JDC All-star hall of fame, headed up by JDC Director Michael Van Gerwen. If a player is inducted into the all-star programme by winning an event, they will be invited to join a Modus Sports Management event and play on stage with Michael and fellow professionals.

The tour also offers a PDPA Scholarship order of merit program for players over 16 to qualify for 3 spots on the 2019 PDC Development tour. Players will be able to play on the tour for free with their scholarship.

 

The tour begins at the George Albert Hotel Evershot near Dorchester, a chosen venue to start the tour for the last 3 years. The next 7 events will see the tour go to Worcester, Derby, Essex, Chorlton, Exeter, Solihull and finally finishing in Wolverhampton in November ahead of the world finals.

Across the tour and the world finals an increase in the prize money for 2018 now totals a £7,000 prize pot.

 

JDC Chairman Steve Brown commented:

This year we have increased the opportunities for more young players to have a chance to play in the world finals and make a name for themselves in 2018. With the inclusion of the 8 players from our academy order of merit, we will have 24 places available in December. Including the all-star program working with Michael, prize money, world qualification and PDPA scholarships up for grabs it’s going to be a great tour for our junior players
