The BDO 9-Dart Club (officially the Winmau BDO 9-Dart Club) was an initiative launched and partnered by the British Darts Organisation and long-term sponsor Winmau in January 2013, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the British Darts Organisation, with membership restricted to darts players that achieved a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.
Players that achieved this feat were presented with a unique set of laser-etched tungsten darts in a laser-etched aluminium presentation case as a permanent keepsake from Winmau. There was no specified limit as to how many times a player or team could be inducted if they achieved a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.
The following list of tournaments qualified players for admittance into the BDO 9-Dart Club if they achieved a nine-dart finish;
<small><sup>1</sup>Wasn't on the original list of qualifying tournaments as the event was announced towards end of 2013.</small><br> <small><sup>2</sup>Wasn't on the original list of qualifying tournaments, only included after Gary Stone achieved a nine-dart finish at the Scottish Masters in June 2013.</small><br> <small><sup>3 and 4</sup>Weren't on the original list of qualifying tournaments, but both the EDO England Open and the EDO England Matchplay were later added to the list.</small>
The first player to be inaugurated into the BDO 9-Dart Club was John Walton that January. He became the first player to achieve a nine-dart finish at the World Masters in 2007. Glen Durrant and Claire Stainsby became the first mixed pairs team inaugurated into the BDO 9-Dart Club after making history by achieving the first ever nine-dart finish in mixed pairs competition at the BDO International Open in 2013.
Glen Durrant became the first member to be inaugurated twice in the same season after achieving a nine-dart finish at the EDO England Open in 2013 also. Only after Gary Stone achieved a nine-dart finish at the Scottish Masters in 2013 was the event added to the list of qualifying tournaments, with Gary Stone also being inaugurated into the BDO 9-Dart Club.
