The players were discontented by the game's big decline in television coverage in 1989 and the early 1990s, eventually culminating in them breaking away from the BDO to form their own organisation, the World Darts Council (WDC).A long-running legal battle resulted in a Tomlin order in 1997. The BDO recognised the WDC and the right of players to choose which organisation they played for. In return, the WDC recognised the World Darts Federation as the governing body of world darts, the BDO as the governing body of UK darts, and renamed itself the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).The split in the game remains to this day. The BDO and the PDC have separate pools of players and stage their own tournaments. Each holds its own version of the World Professional Darts Championship."@en }
