"The IDPA is a recognised and respected darts body and we would like to thank both IDPA Chairman Martin Adams and CEO Martin Fitzmaurice and the IDPA Board of Directors for their hard work and foresight in helping to make this happen. We are looking forward to achieving our long term goals of taking darts coverage around the world over the coming years."We will be making further announcements with more specific details in the near future."

"On behalf of the IDPA I am very happy to confirm our partnership with World Digital. We have been working closely with them for some time and everyone at the IDPA is very confident that this marks the beginning of a new and forward-thinking era for our sport."This is only the beginning of our long-term plans for the promotion of darts and its players to a worldwide audience, and while we see it as a massive step forward, the aims of our partnership are based on a shared ambition to bring the sport of darts into the 21st century."
