1999 BDO World Darts Championship 1999 BDO World Darts Championship The 1999 Embassy World Professional Darts Championship was held from 2–10 January 1999 at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey. Defending champion Raymond van Barneveld retained his title with victory over Ronnie Baxter in another thrilling final which, like the previous year's decider against Richie Burnett, went to the final set and a tiebreak. Barneveld became the first player to retain the Embassy World Championship since Eric Bristow won it in three consecutive years in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The standout match of this championship, however, was the quarter-final between Chris Mason and
1992 BDO World Darts Championship Gregory missed two chances each at double 8, double top and double 10 for the title. It also made Gregory the first player to miss darts at double to win a world championship and eventually lose; none would match this until Mark McGeeney in 2018. Taylor took full advantage and sent the match to a sudden-death leg, which he won to take his second World title. The prize fund was £116,400. There was also a 9 Dart Checkout prize of £52,000, along with a High Checkout prize of £1,500. 1992 BDO World Darts Championship The 1992 Embassy World Darts Championship
