Governing body and tournament organizer for darts

The World Darts Federation (WDF) is a sport governing body[1][2] and (along with the PDC) a tournament organiser for the game of darts. It was formed in 1974 by representatives of the original fourteen founding members.[2] Membership is open to the national organizing body for darts in all nations. The WDF encourages the promotion of the sport of darts among and between those bodies, in an effort to gain international recognition for darts as a major sport. The WDF is a full member of Global Association of International Sports Federations, which is the governing body for international sports federations. The WDF stages a world championship (called the WDF World Cup), as well as continental championships such as the WDF Americas Cup, the WDF Asia-Pacific Cup and the WDF Europe Cup. The country that is first in the overall leader board (overall best result in the two events, singles, pairs, teams) becomes the world champion. Winners of any of the events can also call themselves the official World Champion. Winners of continental championships can call themselves the official champion of their own areas. After the collapse of the British Darts Organisation in September 2020, the WDF announced plans to launch the WDF World Championship and WDF World Masters.[3] Both competitions took place for the first time in 2022, starting with the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship in April.[4]

Members [ edit ]

70 national full members 6 national interim members (Bahrain, Ghana, Guernsey, Liechtenstein, Palestine and Uganda):[5] The WDF Rankings, as defined by the World Darts Federation, are the "objective merit-based method used for determining qualification for entry and seeding in all of its tournaments for both male and female singles, pairs and team". The rankings tables are "rolling tables", and points from an event are counted until that event occurs the following year. If a particular event does not occur in the following year, points are deleted after a calendar year.[6]

Tournament levels and points allocation [ edit ]

A player's WDF Ranking is based on the points they have accrued from their best 10 performances over the previous 12 month rolling period.[7] The eligible tournaments include a selection of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze level tournaments with decreasing points at each level. Since the formation of the WDF rankings in 1974 the method used to calculate a player's ranking points has changed several times. Notes: The WDF international tournaments have six categories for both men and women (singles, pairs and teams)

Current points distribution [ edit ]

Points are currently awarded as follows:[8]

Did Mark Wahlberg gain 20 pounds?

In just three weeks, the actor gained 20 pounds—with plans to go "up another 20"—for his role in the film about a real-life boxer turned priest. And while Mark was initially looking forward to straying from his routine regimen, he later found himself eating his words.

Mark Wahlberg's Stu diet was not for the faint of heart.

In just three weeks, the actor gained 20 pounds—with plans to go "up another 20"—for his role in the film about a real-life boxer turned priest. And while Mark was initially looking forward to straying from his routine regimen, he later found himself eating his words. "Unfortunately, I had to consume, for two weeks, 7,000 calories, and then for another two weeks, 11,000 calories," the Oscar-nominated star said on the July 15 episode of The Tonight Show. "And it was fun for about an hour. It's such a hard, physical thing to do. I mean, losing weight, you just kind of tough it out—you just don't eat, and exercise. And this, even when you're full, I would wake up after a meal and have another meal. I was eating every three hours. It was not fun." Jimmy Fallon then asked Mark, who turned 50 last month, if it was harder to gain or lose weight as he gets older. And while The Departed alum said it "absolutely" is, he also knew he had only 30 days to film the movie. And considering he financed a lot of it himself, he knew he was "on a ticking clock on my own dime." As he put it, "You get things done pretty quickly when that's the case."
