#darts Column 424 - Who’s the Real Darts World Champion? Dartoid's World

2012-01-28T10:48:00.000-08:00

For years Dartoid’s World has made the case that the center of the darts universe has been shifting. Now it has.

I have written that the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) should wake up and smell the noodles, that it should take its act to Asia. It hasn’t.

It’s difficult to figure. There’s good business to be had. Barry Hearn is a great businessman (and he has really nice hair).

SOPA/PIPA: Down but not out (yet) - Computerworld Blogs

2012-01-20T10:56:00.000-08:00

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) have both taken some pretty serious body blows over the last few days, but it would be premature to write them off just yet.

...

The sponsors of the bills have made it clear that they are intent on passing some sort of legislation to deal with what they claim is the unfettered theft of U.S. IP and copyright by rogue foreign sites. The developments of the last few days are likely to slow the momentum of the bills somewhat.

Suff you should know about "SOPA" - Electronic Frontier Foundation

2012-01-19T06:53:00.000-08:00

"Laws around the world are forcing service providers like ISPs to act as judges for what's valid speech on the Internet, using copyright as an excuse to cut off speech and infringe on the privacy rights of users," EFF Activism Director Rainey Reitman said. "For example, in the United States, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) could undermine long-standing legal protections for intermediaries and could potentially 'blacklist' many popular websites–like Etsy, Flickr, and Vimeo. The Global Chokepoints project will help concerned citizens fight dangerous legislation around the world."

Clinical Adams sweeps aside promising Mitchell #darts #BDO

2012-01-07T12:49:00.000-08:00

Clinical Adams sweeps aside promising Mitchell
Top seed and defending champ Martin Adams produced a clinical performance to whitewash local man Scott Mitchell 3-0 in just 26 minutes.

The experienced defending champ recovered from a nervy opening set in which he missed a string of doubles to book his place in the last 16. It means the 55-year-old veteran from Peterborough remains on course for a third successive title. Only one other player has won the title in three successive years – that was the legendary five times winner Eric Bristow. The Crafty Cockney completed the feat back in 1986.

Ton-up finishes drive former green keeper O Shea into second round #darts #BDO

2012-01-07T12:48:00.000-08:00

Ton-up finishes drive former green keeper O Shea into second round
Former green keeper Tony O’Shea teed up his title intentions clubbing Steve West 3-0 in a 27-minute thriller.

The eighth seed blasted out 140 and 142 checkouts en-route to his convincing victory over West, who lives in the Netherlands. For the second successive game nerves dominated the opening set. The fact that both players threw a total of 54 darts trying to achieve doubles summed up the tension in the opening set, snatched by a grateful eighth seed 3-2.

Ross the boss lays down the law to topple Dutch ace Fabian
Ninth seed Ross “The Boss” Montgomery brushed aside Dutch painter Fabian Roosenbrand 3-1 in an entertaining 35-minute encounter. But after the match the Glaswegian admitted: “I will need to sharpen up my doubles for my next match with Tony (O-Shea) or he will punish me.

“When I was 2-0 up I thought I was in command but Fabian came back well. Overall I felt that I deserved to get past the first round,” said a smiling Montgomery.

Each NAPT event will be held over a weekend with the Pro Event being held on the Sunday. An associated tournament or warm-up event would precede the Pro Event on the Friday and Saturday.

The program is designed to sustain itself after the first three years meaning that there would be at least 8 Pro Events in 2015 and subsequent years.

At the present time, one of the 3 Pro Events to be held in 2012 has been confirmed, the London Ontario NAPT Pro Event to be held on Sunday, August 26, 2012 at the Hilton London Ontario.

year 2 with an annual membership fee ($100 US). Membership Benefits would include the
ability to accept PDC invites to PDC main events as a result of their NAOoM ranking and
other criteria, waiver of the day membership fee that will commence in year 2, and waiver of
annual NAPDPA membership fee for all PDC PDPA members.

6. Pre-registration would be required for entry into the Pro Events. Entry fee would be $100 for
the first year and $80 with a $20 day membership fee in the 2nd and subsequent years.
Members of the NAPDPA would not be required to pay the day membership fee.

7. The North American Order of Merit
(NAOoM) would include the results from the NAPT Pro Events only. It would include results on a 2 year running total basis with the results from Pro Events in the 1st year being eliminated on the anniversary of the 3rd year of those Pro Events.

8. The NAOoM would be used to select
North American players to attend PDC Main Events such as the World Championship, the US and Canada PDC World Cup Teams, and possible other PDC Main Championship Events.

Austin Darts Founder Passed away #darts

2011-12-30T16:48:00.000-08:00

From: Elaine Bohls
Date: Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:10 am
Subject: FW: Austin Darts Founder Passed away

It is with the deepest regret that I must send out this e-mail, notifying the dart community of the passing of one of our longest standing members and one of its founding members. Brad Peck passed away, on Monday, 26 December, after battling cancer and cardiac complications. Brad was a wonderful mentor, not only to me but to many others. He taught me a lot about playing darts, when I was first starting, more than 25 years, ago. He had the most wonderful approach to the sport and i will always remember his custom barrels and piano wire points. His quiet way of doing things was a reflection of his gentle-giant personality. He will be greatly missed. His funeral is today, 30 December. There is no obit listing with Weed-Corley, but only the one in the paper.

Death Notice - Austin-American Statesman

PECK, Bradley Walter, 60, construction worker, of Austin died Monday. Survived by wife Peggy. Services 3 p.m. Friday, Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, Congress location.

He said: “I don’t think I have ever been to a sudden-death tie-break before, so to all those people who said I don’t have the bottle or the stamina to come back from 2-0 down, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. It doesn’t matter how well you play, you still need luck. The reigning world champion is still in this tournament, and to be honest I don’t think he should be.

FINE POINTS : With Game of #Darts Drawing Participants and Fans, Can Song and Movie Be Far Away? - Los Angeles Times

... an article from the "Golden Age of Darts" in North America:
Let's see . . . there are a couple of country songs about pool. "The Baron," by Johnny Cash, for one.
Surely there must be a tune about one of the more popular and up-and-coming American pastimes.
If not, there will be soon. Blueberry Hill, a prominent recording label, is conducting a national songwriting contest about darts. The idea is to cut a hit record and have it on the jukebox of every dart bar in the country.

Well, Mr. Lowe contacted me this evening and said that the L.A. leg of his tour was fantastic. Congrats guys on showing him and his wife a great time.

Tomorrow, I pick him up at the airport, then Tuesday at 7:00 pm, his Nashville exhibition officially starts. We're very excited. While I don't expect all the hoopla that was served over the weekend, our league will do its best to ensure that Mr. and Mrs. Lowe have a nice time in Music City.

We feel very honored to have Mr. Lowe make one of his four stops in Nashville.

Thanks for posting the compliment. L. David Irete went all out on this one and it was truly a grand event.

John Lowe Local Exhibition, Live TV quality Live Stream! #darts

2011-12-10T21:15:00.000-08:00

Joey Burt gets an autograph from John Lowe.

The John Lowe L.A. Exhibition was a great afternoon of fun, Evan Waterman and Bones (John Ronnholm) from Darts Around the World and L. David Irete of Triple Twenty Productions hosted a wonderful event. This event was streamed live over the internet, and had TV quality productions with multiple cameras and camera operators along with Evan and Bones doing live podcast commentary, Irete producing / directing and Adam 'Thorn' Smith posting updates on facebook and dartsunderground.com The results was a Pro Exhibition the likes of which have never been seen before in the US and maybe Canada! On top of all of that, we had some wins by some of our local players who also threw some impressive darts (VCDA league member Joey Burt and Eric Zarlenga and Jose Belonio of LADA).

The feature match was a best 2 of 3 match with Chris Lim facing John Lowe. John Lowe won the cork, but Chris started with strong scoring and won the leg. John struck back taking the second leg which brought the match to a deciding leg. In this leg John Lowe started strong and was first to the double to take the match. It was a great way to finish a wonderful afternoon of darts! Thanks to John Lowe for treating us all to a wonderful afternoon of darts entertainment! Tomorrow will be the MLD John Lowe open. For anyone interested in keeping track of that MLD event, just look for Thorn's live updates on www.dartsunderground.com during the event.

“Ice ice baby, too cold, too cold … Ice ice baby” Vanilla Ice

Marilyn Grace Sodoski was born on June 2, 1944 and grew up in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In June of 1965, our Ms. Sodoski met a man named Marshall working in a local bar, and the couple began dating soon thereafter, however, rumor has it, he had an interest in the best friend of Ms. Sodoski, so he ended their relationship for a period of time. Fortunately for the darting community, she forgave him and on May 18th, 1968 she agreed to walk down the isle and become Mrs. Marilyn Popp. In 1969 the couple had their first child Tina, and in 1975 gave birth to their second daughter Karen.

The pudgy ex-miner was twice the world darts champion; his grinning image was once featured on Top of the Pops when Dexy's Midnight Runners performed Jackie Wilson Said. But the glory years at the oche are long forgotten. These days, Wilson is a recluse, living on disability benefits in his home town, Kirkcaldy.

2011-11-24T11:16:00.000-08:00

Only 7 players played. This was sad because our previous event in Houston had 28 players. Although the field was small, the quality of play was high.

An initial round robin was played where each match was 7 total legs (not best of). Thus, each player played 42 legs (7 legs x 6 players). Everybody enjoyed it very much. 'Total legs won' in the RR stage determined the player seeds for the Main Event knockout bracket.
