Mark Webster was the defending men's champion, but he was eliminated 4–0 by John Walton in the second round. The title was eventually won by 2000 champion Ted Hankey, who won 7–6 against Tony O'Shea, in a match which lasted just under two and a half hours. The defending women's champion, Anastasia Dobromyslova, was due to defend her championship, having beaten seven-time champion Trina Gulliver in the 2008 final, but on 7 December 2008 she resigned from the BDO/WDF setup after her defeat in the World Masters to Francis Hoenselaar. It later emerged that she had accepted the 70th and last place into the rival PDC World Championship, replacing an Indian qualifier. This meant that for the first time, the defending women's champion would not be returning to defend her title. Hoenselaar, a five-time runner-up, won her first world title by beating Gulliver – the player that had beaten her each time – by two sets to one. The event took place from 3–11 January 2009 and for the 24th time, the tournament took place at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green. Format and qualifiers Men's The televised stages featured 32 players. The top 16 players in the WDF/BDO rankings over the 2007–08 season were seeded for the tournament.http://www.dartswdf.com/aa_darts/ranking_bdo/BDO2007-RM.html WDF men's rankings British Darts Organisation 23 November 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20081210071230/http://www.dartswdf.com/aa_darts/ranking_bdo/BDO2007-RM.html 10 December 2008 dead They were joined by 16 other players who had either been invited by right (10 of the sixteen in this method), a standby player (Stephen Bunting) with 5 other qualifiers determined at the International Playoffs, which were held on 4 December 2008 in Bridlington.
