Marco Meijer
Marco Meijer has been a regular face at the major tournaments of the BDO since 2011. Started because he thought he had an aptitude for it and by calling the local tournaments he rose to the tournaments in the tour of the Lowlands. Then via the Dutch Open he quickly progressed to the largest stages in the world.
Marco makes his TV debut in 2011 at the Zuiderduin Masters and a month later he is already on the Lakeside stage at the BDO world championship. This makes him the first Dutchman to have refereed in a World Championship. As icing on the cake, he was chosen to call the end of the final, which was won by compatriot Christian Kist.
Since that year, Marco has been refereeing all major tournaments at the BDO. He fulfilled this role until the 2019 World Championship. After that World Championship, all the referees resigned together after a disagreement with the BDO. However, heremains active at major 'open' tournaments throughout Europe.
In 2022, almost the entire team of referees will return to Lakeside when the WDF takes over the organization of the tournament, and Meijer will also again be a permanent fixture from that moment on. In addition to his work as a referee, Marco now also provides commentary on darts on Dutch TV at ViaPlay.
First world championship in 2012.
