Margarito training shifts to higher gear

“We got a lot done in the first two weeks and Tony [Margarito] looks great. I love his focus and intensity, and our first phase of training camp was an eye opener for him and for me,” said Garcia as Team Margarito moved training camp to the coastal Southern California city of Oxnard.

#darts Interview with Pär Riihonen

Pär Riihonen is one of the few "exotic" players on the Pro Circuit, one or the rare non British or Dutch players playing the complete PDC Circuit.
He is the first and till now only Swedish player on the Pro Tour and in the interview he tells us that is not really easy and definitely expensive.
But he nevertheless would do it again...

Pär - Sweden once was a great darts nation, one of the founder nations of the WDF and Stefan Lord one of the big names in darts. How is it now-a-days?

#darts - Leagues of Our Own - Part 3

Steve Brown's blog.

I really hadn't intended dragging this league stuff out into three parts, but that's precisely what's happened! There are a few other facts – and little quirks, simply associated with league matches – that you may find interesting.

I know that some leagues in the U.S. do this, but it seems that very few rely on an open draw for the evening's games; many rely on the captains choosing who plays who, usually dependent on ability. In Britain, most draw for opponents, although sometimes they play “pairs (or fours) across the board”. All that means is that the pairings are based on position within the team - 1 plays 1, 2 plays 2 etc. This is most common in fours and pairs, and is rarely used for singles. It's called “across the board” as the teams are invariably written up on the chalkboard.

Fleetwood was the Pete Rozelle of American darts.

#Darts in Brasil

a sewa-darts.com post:
We just wrapped up the season here so I thought I'd share what it was like. There is probably nowhere near the number of darters in the entire country as there may be in one dart-playing US city, but those we have are very dedicated to the sport and include some pretty darned good shots. In Sao Paulo we had monthly matches in the format of round-robins followed by best-ofs until there is one winner. Each winner qualified for the season-end state championships. After a some 2nd place finishes, I qualified and came in 5th overall in the state championships. Although I didn't win, I still qualified for the state team and the national championships (Brasileirao) which was this weekend.

PDC picks a charity to back

#DARTS legend Phil Taylor  has thrown his backing behind a charity's bid to create the world record for the largest number of people playing the sport at the same time.

...


And Phil is urging darts players from North Staffordshire and South Cheshire to get involved.
The current world number one said: "Each year the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) picks a charity to back and this year it is supporting SignHealth.
"When I was asked if I would help to promote the event and give it my backing I was only too happy to help.
"Darts is a very popular sport among deaf people because it's one of the few where you don't rely on being able to hear around you, like you have to in football or rugby...

#darts 2010-8-23 – Sad News - Bill Turner

- From Katie Harris

Bill Turner, former ADO Board member, and husband of ADO Director of Office Operations Katie Harris, passed away Friday Aug 20.  Bill was a longtime player and Area Manager, and will be missed by all who knew him.  Details on a Celebration of Life for Bill to be held in California will be available at a later date.”



For those who have not heard:

I lost Bill Turner on August 20th.  He had checked into USC University Hospital for a 'tune-up' and 'liver transplant'.  Two livers were offered but were determined to be 'too fatty' for Bill's body.  Infection set in his lungs and his body could not fight it off even with all the best anti-biotics.  Then his organs began to shut down and that was it.  I was able to stay with him 24 hours a day the last 3 days and held him as he went.

There will be a short article on him in the summer issue of Double Eagle. It will ship next week.

For those who are local - a Memorial Shoot and Celebration of Life will be held at the Dolphin Lounge - 1274 Magnolia - Anaheim, CA  92804 on September 18th at noon.  Bill's son from West Virginia will be joining us.  Bring your darts and best stories. Hope to see you there.

#darts Steve Brown's Blog post - league ratings...

Leagues of Our Own - Part 2


Since I published the first episode of this particular blog, I've had to answer plenty of questions about English leagues. However, I think I'll have an even greater grilling after this! I've gone through some of the basic differences between leagues each side of the pond, but this one is surely the most startling; for Americans, anyway...

We (Americans, that is) know that virtually all leagues in this country are based on player classification, with players being segregated according to their league ratings. One of the problems with that system is that it's almost impossible to compare ratings between different leagues, cities etc. That's because everyone has their own weird way of arriving at their ratings.

#darts Bob Anderson - knee replacement

After taking a short break from darts, spending a few weeks with family and friends in Tenerife, Bob Anderson, The Limestone Cowboy, will go into hospital on Monday 27 September for a replacement left knee.

Bob, 62, who retired from the PDC tour in 2008, has suffered for many years with chronic knee pain, following cartilage removal after footballing injuries in his youth.

http://www.privatehealth.co.uk/private-operations/orthopaedic/total-knee-replacement/

He hopes to be in the Waterside Suite of Weston super Mare hospital for just 3 days, and will then recuperate at home in front of the Ryder Cup.

Bob will return to his darting exhibitions from December 2010, and any enquiries about these, after dinner speaking or any other bookings can be made via bobanderson180@yahoo.co.uk

All the best to Bob and his family and we wish him a speedy recovery!!!
