The opportunity for US and Canadian players to compete in professional dart
tournaments with world class prize funds here in North America has been sweetened by the PDC for 2008.
The PDC has also made it much more attractive for Canadians to compete for the four 2009 Las Vegas Wild Cards, equalizing the playing field for all North American players.

North American Dart Championship.
