I always find the criticism of the BDO unfair & unnecessary. Every PDC world champion bar Adrian Lewis began their career in the BDO. There will always be a place for the BDO in darts, as they provide a vital platform for players to cut their teeth before moving onto the next level.
In my eyes it is marginally similar to Rugby Union/Rugby League. Both have a place in the world.
I'd say it more like premiership football vs non-league. I enjoy non league football, and I enjoy BDO if you get a close match

But in non-league you don't have to witness 50 shots before you see a goal.
The PDC average is the average of all darts thrown whereas the BDO average is average of the first nine darts only so dont get penalised for missing doubles unlike PDC.

That all depends on what the broadcaster shows though. BBC @ Lakeside generally show a first nine darts and an overall average.
Half time in the football so flicked over to the darts. First leg Durrant throws 7 treble 20s in a row, on for a nine darter. Eventually wins the leg with his 18th dart.
First 7 darts score - 420 Then took a further 11 darts to get the remaining 81

Such a good sport to watch. Quick, dramatic and intense.
How Taylor got himself ahead in the match I don't know, then let Wade back in.
No long sets etc means never more than a minute until a vital dart/shot/moment
Barney is an absolute god to them
Was a shame to see Taylor give up on the last leg.
