The 2007 Lakeside World Darts Championship was the 30th Championship and was held between 6–14 January 2007 at the Lakeside Country Club, Frimley Green, Surrey. The organisers, the British Darts Organisation announced they had given the tournament a new stage set and player walk-on area.〔(New-look Lakeside )〕 They also removed the markers (the two officials who manually calculate player scores) from the stage. They were replaced from this tournament with on-stage plasma television screens. The only official on-stage was the referee/caller. Last year's beaten finalist, Raymond van Barneveld announced shortly after that defeat that he would be switching to the Professional Darts Corporation and played in their World Championship instead, winning an epic final for his fifth world title overall. This was the first time that a finalist from one event has played in the other World Championship the following year, in direct contravention of the 1997 Tomlin Order. Jelle Klaasen was defeated in the first round on the defence of his title. His world ranking was 19 at the time of the draw - so he missed out on being seeded and lost in straight sets to number 16 seed and fellow countryman Co Stompé in the first round. Martin Adams was the number one seed and won his first world title, despite being subjected to the greatest comeback in darts history by opponent Phill Nixon in the final. Adams had led 6–0 in the best-of-13 sets match, but Nixon levelled at 6–6 before Adams finally won the deciding set. Trina Gulliver maintained her unbeaten record in the women's event winning her seventh successive final. Francis Hoenselaar was beaten in the final for the fourth year in a row and fifth time overall. This year, however she came within a leg of ending Gulliver's run when she took the final to a sudden-death tie-break leg. ==Pre-Tournament Odds== The odds before the tournament began〔(Pre-tournament odds (BDO Website) )〕 (supplied by official on-site bookmakers, Coral) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 BDO World Darts Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
