#389: Scott Hunt, ADC Global Championship Announcement Reaction, Were The Revamped UK Open Amateur Qualifiers A Success?

The Weekly Dartscast

Alex Moss and Matthew Kiernan are back with a special 'Under The 128' episode of the podcast.

The boys kick off the show with a look at the ADC's major announcement last week - their Global Championship expanding from 24 to 56 players and an increased prize fund of £150,000, with £60,000 going to the champion.

Scott Hunt, the ADC's head of global operations, (13:53) joins the show to reflect on the last two years of the ADC. Scott chats about the rise of The Vault events from less than 30 weekly events at the start of 2023 to now approaching the 300 mark in the early months of 2025, as well as diving into the Global Championship expansion, and answers some of your listener questions.

Alex and Matthew also discuss where this announcement leaves the WDF, with the ADC Global Championship's dates clashing with the Lakeside. The boys give their thoughts on the MODUS Super Series' move to Pluto TV, the revamped UK Open Amateur Qualifiers, and the return of the World Seniors Darts Championship this week.
