The 2011 BDO World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2011 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship) was the 34th World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation, and the 26th staging at the Lakeside Country Club at Frimley Green. Martin Adams was the defending men's champion, having won the title for the second time in the previous year's final against Dave Chisnall.
Adams became the first to successfully defend his BDO title since Raymond van Barneveld in 1999, as he beat Dean Winstanley, who is one of only a handful of players to reach the final at their first attempt. The final score was 7–5 in sets which saw Martin Adams retain the championship. Trina Gulliver successfully defended her Women's world title having beaten Rhian Edwards in a repeat of the 2010 final. It was Gulliver's ninth title.Trina Gulliver wins ninth BDO women's Lakeside crown https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/darts/9350151.stm BBC Sport 10 January 2011 7 January 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110125011453/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/darts/9350151.stm 25 January 2011 live
The two standout matches of the tournament were Adams's victory over John Walton in the second round - the match going all the way to a sudden death leg - and Jan Dekker's comeback victory over Garry Thompson which was reminiscent of Chris Mason's comeback against Adams twelve years earlier (much like Adams in that match, Thompson missed nine darts at double to reach the semi-final).
Players competed to reach the BBC televised finals, which run from 1–9 January at Frimley Green.
Format and qualifiers
Men's
The televised stages featured 32 players. The top 16 players in the individual rankings over the 2009/10 season were seeded for the tournament. Other places were made up of other qualifiers from the individual rankings, a number of qualifying spaces from the International Qualifiers (held in Hull on 28 October), and spaces for the 2008 & 2009 champions and 2010 semi-finalists if not already qualified and still eligible for the tournament. The draw took place on 12 November.
For the first time since the tournament's inception Australia was a notable absentee without any players involved.
This left England and Scotland as the only countries to be represented in each BDO World Championship since the very beginning.
