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."
