What will I do if I win the million dollars? I’ll just be happy recalling the day when my father first handed me a set of darts. I was ten years old.

This said, I’m sure my girlfriend Shanan will be able to think of a “million” things we need!

WORLD darts champ Phil Taylor pledged there would be no conflict with old rival and local favourite Peter Manley when the pair face off in Carlisle tonight.
There has been tension between the rivals in some previous clashes, but Taylor, who claimed an astonishing 13th world title when he whitewashed Carlisle-based Manley 7-0 in the Purfleet final in January, dismissed talk of bad blood."

Lesson Plans - Indoor Recreation - Darts
While doing some random searches on darts I ran across a lesson plan for including Darts as Recreation & Leisure activity for students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD). The site also notes that these lesson plans maybe appropriate for wider use in other educational settings. An idea that I must agree with.
When I was in school there were very few recreation options taught outside of the basic football, basketball, track and field, volleyball and the other games they always taught for PE. Once I reached high school the options increased a bit, but never included darts. I don't think that it was much different for students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD), and if they did have classes that targeted development of leisure skills I never heard about them.
Any teachers or school personel willing to pitch this?

Once news of this decision came out, several pubs and clubs protested at the change.
Janet Loveridgecheck, captain of the Quarry Gate ladies' team in Headington, led the protests and set up a petition.

It’s a long way from Freeport to Saskatoon, but Josh Watson is on target to compete at the National Youth Darts Championship in Saskatoon in May.
He just needs a little help to get there.
The 14-year-old from Freeport is southwestern Nova Scotia’s only representative on the provincial team heading to Saskatchewan. It’s also the first time in five years the province will have representation at the tournament. And Watson can’t wait.
“I am happy,” he stated emphatically. “This is the farthest I’ve been in my whole life.”
But in the meantime he has to raise over $1,000 for airfare and hotel costs. So Watson has been hard at work trying to line up sponsors. There will also be a dart tournament Sunday at noon in the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Freeport. "

THE England darts team selectors have been at it again, leaving out a player ranked third in the averages while picking someone who is rated 134th!
It is puzzling to say the least - and it happens every year. I know I asked the question often enough when the teams were announced and there was no John Kane or Richard Smith or Crissy Howat (as was) despite the fact that, at various times, they were in the top averages.
When challenged, the selectors reply: “Other factors are taken into consideration as well as averages”. Mmmm"

"Eastern Connecticut tries for spot in World Series of Darts
By BRIAN WALLHEIMER
Norwich Bulletin
WINDSOR LOCKS -- Dart players like to say any given player can beat any other on any given day.
Three players from Eastern Connecticut tried to prove that Saturday in one of the 12 regional qualifying tournaments for the World Series of Darts.
....
With the big-money prize on their minds, 259 people from New England, New York and Pennsylvania packed themselves like sardines into a room at the Double Tree Hotel for the qualifier. So many showed up, there was often hour and a half waits between rounds and players had no boards to practice on.
'Bazooka' Joe Efter, 38, of Danielson came closest of Eastern Connecticut's hopefuls, finishing in the top 16. He was handily beating Jeff Steinberg of West Hartford when he started faltering.
'He was throwing so well and for some reason he was pressing and I don't know why,' said Steve Wehrle, president of the Southeastern Connecticut Dart League."

Trading legs of thirteen and fourteen darts, New York’s Tim Grossman and New Jersey’s Dave “New Wave” Marienthal matched power and precision before a wild crowd in what, to date, must stand as the premier finals match of the World Series of Darts (WSOD) qualifying competitions. In the end, in the seventh tie-breaking leg, literally as the clock struck midnight after a long, long day, Grossman closed the double fifteen for the win, leaving Marienthal on thirty-two to regroup and come back another day.

Finding a darts website....
Once you find a darts website you generally look at the information that you came there to find you go on you merry way to continue your web surfing for other items that you have marked as a favorite, or do a search for something else that you need to find.
Now what if you really just want to look up more stuff about darts? Do you just keep entering search terms into YAHOO or GOOGLE? Well most of the time a search engine is the only choice that you have unless you stumble onto a darts site that has an extensive list of links to other darts sites, or that is linked to other sites by belonging to a group called a "webring."
The concept behind the webring is simple. Someone wrote a small bit of code that web masters can place into their webpage that will link it to other websites that share the same subject matter, darts in this case. When you are done with the page you are on you click next on the link on the webring logo and surf on to the next darts website. Now the thing that bugged me about webring is that several of the sites in the ring were not up to date, or the sites where no longer operating, so for that reason I have not completely bought in to whole the webring concept. Now don't get me wrong I still use webring from time to time.
But there is progress and things improve as always. In the past few months two new players have entered the picture. The first of the two is http://www.darts100.com/ by Ricky Nickolson (he also is the web master for http://www.theoche.com )
How it works:
A www.darts100.com logo (counter) is placed on a page (the code is included by the web master), and that page should be counted when viewed. The hope is that the list is to take some of the popularity of the upper rated sites, and hopefully spread it around to some of the sites that may not be in the mainstream. So far the site sends out a lot more hits to sites than we get coming in. It would seem that once people get to our site, they go out and visit several others on the list.
The newest kid on this block is http://darts.gotop100.com/ by Andy Fair of Superstars of Darts (a popular British darts site) and seems to modeled after Ricky's site.
So far web masters are singing on to both of these sites, and hopefully the hit counters theses sites provide will help us avoid the frustrations of dead links in webrings.

2. The late Jim Pike, a darts legend in England before most of you even threw one, was such a marksman that he could shoot a cigarette from someone's mouth with a dart - AND STICK IT IN ANY DOUBLE.
3. The best flights in the world are made from turkey feathers. So who's the 'turkey' now?

But even if I don’t qualify for the World Series of Darts (WSOD) you have to do my profile because you soiled my good name when you wrote me into your Queer Eye for the Darter Guy story (http://www.dartoidsworld.com/articlesR.asp?ArtID=205) a couple of months ago. You owe me Big Time buddy!

Review: To The Point Totem Pointe Books, Inc.: "Patrick Chaplin reviews Dan William Peek's
– To The Point – The Story Of Darts In America.
The book is a must for anyone interested in the history of darts and in particular anyone interested in the development of sport in general in the USA.
For a number of years Dan has been piecing together his history of darts in the States. It was a labour of love, with few reliable studies preceding him, so putting this together must have been like working on a 10,000-piece jigsaw puzzle without the aid of a picture.Click this link for the full review!"

Dartoids World - Today wasn't ALL about Oscar; it was about Dave TOO!
Dartoids World: "Actually “disappointment” doesn’t quite due justice to Slivan’s day. The top-ranked darter in Florida was on fire earlier in the day, particularly during the semi finals, where he faced the legendary Tony Payne and whitewashed him. En route, Slivan seemed almost “unconscious” at the line, tossing in high tons and maximums and closing strong. But it wasn’t to be…
“It’s always up and down,” commented Slivan after the contest. “This is a great event and I had a great time. I guess maybe Las Vegas is next…”"

The Observer - 'As you get older, you get more happy, more placid. The killer instinct just goes'
'As you get older, you get more happy, more placid. The killer instinct just goes': "Pressure. No wonder they drink, these dartsmen. How else do you steady the hand for such precision work? Of course brain surgeons manage it, but they don't tend to perform in front of a fired-up crowd or against a ruthless opponent. 'At the end of the day,' Deller tells me later, 'it's not about drink - it's about bottle.'
Competitive darts always comes down to who can handle the pressure, but before that it's a matter of who does the most practice. Deller used to practise seven hours a day, every day. 'I'd say, 'Right, it's 10 o'clock at night, I've got to hit five 180s before I go to bed'. Do silly things like that, just pushing.'"

"As one of the 17 that have signed up, I would really hate to see this tournament cancelled.
Too many players on the West Coast lament the lack of tournament opportunities and then seem to be unable to commit to play when something is presented.
I have no illusions about winning this thing, but I plan to attend for two real reasons.
* I want to play in it.
* I know that if players like me don't participate in events like this, there will be no more events like this.
The East Coast schedule is full of events...the top players can play virtually every weekend if they wanted to. On the West Coast, our opportunities are quite limited. We have Sacramento, Portland, and Long Beach (which is the same weekend as Sacramento). We've lost the Truckee Meadows Open and are adding a stop in San Francisco this year. "
