A couple of months ago, I played my last game in my local darts league in Cyprus. Being a none Faceacher, I had no idea who'd won, but I knew I was in with a shout.
This evening was the presentation night, a slap up meze and as much as you could drink, all paid for!
Turns out my partner, (chosen at random), and I were runners up in the doubles league.
It also transpires that I won the singles league, I won by one game!

Not too shabby as I hadn't chucked a dart for 5 years.
I didn't expect to win the league, there is another player who scores much higher than me, not sure his doubles are as good as mine though!
Anyone else chucking arrows for fun?
What's your average, mine hovers between 55 and 60, but I will admit to being better than most at hitting my doubles. ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

I haven't thrown a dart for years but I remember before
the wife and I were married we went to a pub and sat near some regulars playing winner stays on.
She volunteered me to join them, thinking I'd be joining her again in a few minutes.
They couldn't get me off. |

Is that your overall average, or first nine dart average?
I watched an interview with John Lowe recently, very interesting what he had to say regarding averages.
The records show that player match averages have gone up exactly in line with the decades. In the 1960's match averages were in the 60's, in the 70's they were in the 70's and so on, right up to today , were top players, MVG etc. are hitting match averages of 110+.
Having said that, if you can't hit your doubles your average is meaningless!
Mind you, recently, as it was all I could find at the time, I had the misfortune to buy and play on an older style board, with the thick wire web, one in every three darts bounced out, FFS! It went in the bin after less than a week.
The Unibet Grand Prix starts this weekend and continues for a week, I believe it's the only tournament that has the double in double out format, should be interesting! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Being an avionics tech. in the RAF, it was assumed we were all great darts players, as we were accused by other trades of spending all our time in the crew room
In my case, alas, it wasn't true

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 165 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
