It got to the mid 90's, and a certain group of players defected to a new organisation, called the WDC i think and made some sort of deal with sky.
This led to all sorts of legal stuff from the BDO to try and ban people from playing in the WDC, and the WDC was trying to launch itself as a governing body alongside the BDO.
After a few years they both came to the compromise where the PDC would accept the BDO was the governing body and the BDO accepted players could choose who they played for.
Sadly if we're not careful it could be where snooker is going.
Also whilst in the short and mid term it is inconceivable that darts will be united, like the stuff on ITV showed, there are some tournaments where players are united, and who knows, in 10 years time if someone with the money came along who's to say that it wouldn't happen... It has to be said though, it would take the BDO finding someone loyal who's as good as barney or taylor for it to happen.
