Dart Etiquette

I was thinking about how important sportsmanship was in darts, and this was what turned up.......

Darts is a friendly game, and in the true spirit of sportsmanship, competitive matches usually begin and end with a handshake. It is important to be considerate of your fellow darters and to follow the guidelines of dart etiquette.
-Begin and end matches with a handshake and words to the effect of "Good Play".
-Do not shout out or speak to a dart thrower who is at the line.
-Do not tell your opponents their out-numbers or suggested strategy while they are at the line.
-Do not swear or raise your voice (no outbursts, yelling or screaming).
-Do not throw your darts or hit the dartboard in frustration.
-Do not complain about the opponent you are throwing against.
-Any unethical conduct, abusive language or poor sportsmanship may be grounds for forfeiture of a match, and possibly expulsion from the league or tournament play. Local league and tournament managers may rule on this at their discretion. Abide by these decisions in the spirit of sportsmanship.
-When playing in a blind-draw, bring your own darts or use house darts - do NOT assume you will use your partner's darts.
-Do not assume you will diddle (cork) or go first, instead discuss and agree on this with your partner before the match is to begin.
-Be aware of the toe line and do your best not to cross the line while throwing.
-Stand behind the line when your opponent is throwing, and if off to the side, remain behind the area of the line and out of the thrower's peripheral vision.
-When playing steel-tip darts, be sure to chalk your fair share for your fellow darters.
-When playing steel-tip darts, be sure to announce your score to the chalker before pulling your darts.
-Be on time for matches.
-Do be enthusiastic toward any dart player you are paired up with in a blind draw.
-Do be a team player and help coach others on the strategy of the game when asked.
-When there is a game in progress at your local pub, which is not part of a tournament or league play, whoever is playing on that board owns the board. The etiquette-wise darter may challenge whomever owns the board to a match. The winner(s) of that match then owns the board.
-Do act with grace during and after a match, whether you have won or lost.
