The annual event gives local darts players a once in a lifetime opportunity to play on the biggest stage of all - the Lakeside at Frimley Green during the World BDO Championships.

Regional heats are held across the country with each winner travelling to the Lakeside to take part in the quarter and semi finals.

The John Smith’s People Darts final is played before the BDO final in front of a packed Lakeside ground.
