Turkey is one of the new and ambitious members of the World Darts Federation. Participant since 2006 and already in 2010 they are allowed to organize the seventeenth edition of the WDF Europe Cup. From 13 to 16 October, the Grand Haber Hotel in Kemer is the setting for a fantastic, sunny, European Cup. All records in terms of number of participating countries are broken. In the men, 28 countries participate and in the ladies 27. New countries such as Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, but also countries that are back after a short absence such as Estonia and Greece.
In the overall classification it is exciting until the end. Wales are doing great in the singles, England in the pairs, but in the team tournament both are not doing so well. Taking all this into account, The Netherlands also keeps a close eye on the overall victory for a long time. However, they lose in the team final to Belgium and so Martin Adams, Darryl Fitton, Tony O'Shea and Scott Waites still take the 2010 WDF Europe Cup with 111 points. Three points more than the Netherlands that has to settle for silver. The bronze is for the winners of the team tournament; Belgium with 85 points. That is two points more than Wales in fourth place. Sweden and Norway share fifth place with 45 points.
