News-Sentinel: Dan Brown, age 17, is going to compete in the U.S. Youth National Championship - Steel tips, steely nerves:
"Norwell junior will compete in Youth Nationals this weekend.

Dan Brown, age 17, is going to compete in the U.S. Youth National Championships in Connecticut. Some nationally-ranked darters say he is the one to beat.
Most teen-agers playing with sharp objects would result in their elders running away or calling for the police. With Dan Brown, they say he might end up being a national champion.
Brown, 17, is competing this weekend at the American Dart Organization’s Youth Nationals in Stamford, Conn. The Norwell high school junior placed seventh in the event last year and third two years ago. Both times he was eliminated by the eventual champion."

To that end, I began collecting sets of darts 23 years ago, as well as boards, and books on the game. My darts collection numbers probably 130 sets of darts, well over 40 books on the game, and I have various regional dartboards, such as the Manchester 'Log End', the 'Wide 5's', the 'Narrow 5's', 'Yorkshire Doubles', 'Irish All Black', 'Champion's Choice ', 'Par Darts', 'Quadro', 'M & Y Eric Bristow 'Crafty Cockney', Winmau 'Blade' boards."

More and more taking aim as darts gains popularity
By CHRIS COBB
The Brownsville Herald
Chris Helms didn’t want to go to a bar. He doesn’t drink.
But he was dragged by friends, nearly kicking and screaming, and they put a dart in his hand.
It stuck.
That was 18 years ago.
Now, a lot of time is spent in bars these days for Helms, currently the fifth-ranked dart player in the United States.
“For me it’s just the challenge of trying to throw a perfect game,” said Helms, who is also now an area manger for the American Dart Organization.
That allure of that “perfect game” has drawn thousands of hopeful players to the game first made popular in Medieval England, including many in the Rio Grande Valley.
“It’s just a fun game to play,” said Lee Uribe, a longtime member of the Rio Grande Valley Tropical Darts Association. "

But this was neither a bar nor festival. It was Maryland's state championship dart tournament, with lots of familiar faces from the regional dart scene.
More than 200 people showed up to compete this weekend, including nationally ranked men and women. And much of the proceeds went to help a local nonprofit organization, Emerge Inc., which opened the doors of its Linthicum day center for the developmentally disabled to host the tournament."
