2006 International Darts League

The 2006 Topic International Darts League was a darts tournament held in Triavium, Nijmegen, Netherlands from 6 to 14 May 2006.[1][2] The tournament was sponsored by Topic, a Dutch-based electronics software and hardware manufacturer.

It began as a tournament for BDO players but Dutch broadcaster SBS-6 invited five PDC/non-WDF players for the first time in this event, with Raymond van Barneveld's switch to the PDC earlier in the year being the vital part in that decision.
