'Hidden jewel' finds its mark -- Orlando Sentinel
"We have some of the best female players in the world living in Orlando," said Cora Mahoney, who helps run C&M Darts, which has served as a supplier of dart accessories from England since 1984.
Mahoney, 50, has been playing the sport seriously for about 15 years. She said finding a game in the area is easier than people might realize.

The Regina thrower would be a household name if she played other sports -- she's won 13 provincial titles in 14 years, and captured the national 2005 and 2006 women's championships.

The Daily Record - RAISE YOUR DART RATE
Oche pressure same as for footballers
By Paula Murray
THE heart rate of darts players in major events can match other top sportsmen, a study has revealed.
Medical tests show that despite its pints and pot-bellied image, the game of darts can more than double the average heart rate during a tense match at the oche.
Phil "The Power" Taylor and other players were wired up at a recent tournament to discover the effects of tension and playing in smoky venues where conditions regularly top 100F and 90 per cent humidity.

FUN AND FLAIR AT BOLTON Sid Waddell uniBlog
I’ll start with a joke…
Have you heard the one about the undertaker, the karaoke DJ and the bloke who packs David Beckham’s toiletries?
Punch line: They all reckon they can beat Barney, Taylor, Lloyd, Mason and Wade and Co and win the UK Open at Bolton. They are Nigel Heydon, alias Deadly of Leamington Spa, Disco Ian Walters of Manchester and Fragrant Dave Ladley of Scunthorpe. And therein lies the appeal of this weekend’s Open – the FA Cup of darts, where the minnows meet the sharks.
Since its inception in 2003 the Open has produced some remarkable darts. Phil Taylor did a nine-darter in 2004 and 2005. Adrian Lewis and Chris Mason, both currently in cracking form, had a belter of a match a couple of year’s back in which 19 180s were thrown. Last year bullet-headed Barrie Bates of Wales crushed his way to the final against Barney.

Targeting the dart community
GREEN A month after Empire Darts opened its doors, a thief nearly shut them permanently.
Jim and Bobbi Licitri kind of fell into the darts business. They ran a shop in Norton for two years that sold billiards, poker and other gaming supplies. When a customer asked about dart supplies, the Licitris got some in for her and for stock.
The woman told her friends, and soon more darts enthusiasts were coming into the store.

Unicorn - News: Phil Taylor has rewritten the darting history books yet again
Phil Taylor has rewritten the darting history books yet again – clinching a third consecutive Premier League crown in style at the Brighton Centre…..and with it a winners cheque for £75,000.
It all started in his hometown of Stoke back in February 2005 and now 44 unbeaten matches later, Taylor completed his Premier League hat-trick beating Terry Jenkins in the final.
The predicted Taylor/Barney showdown failed to materialize, as the Dutchman failed in the semi-finals yet again and Barneveld left the arena before the final – a hugely disappointed man.
Semi-finals:
Raymond Van Barneveld 10-11 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 11-6 Dennis Priestley
Losers - £30,000
Final:

It is the hardest market in the world to crack – whether it be business, sport or entertainment but darts is giving it a real go on the other side of ‘The Pond”.
The PDC US Open has been terrific and Barry Hearn remains absolutely determined that he will crack darts in America. Several big tournaments could be set to hit the USA in the coming years and as a sport, darts continues to grow.
Team Unicorn’s Ray Carver, John Kuczynski, Brad Wethington, Jim Widmayer, Roger Carter, Darrin Young and the rest continue to lead the way but there is no doubt that standards are improving all the time.

The upstairs of the ANAVETS Hall on Tranquille Road looks like any veterans’ hangout.
Crowds of oldtimers circle around tables, hunched over glasses of golden ale, while the chief beer slinger surveys the scene from behind an old wooden bar.
But downstairs is a different scene entirely.
The median age drops to about 16, and instead of everyone shooting back sudsy swill, they are all shooting darts.
That is because five Westsyde secondary students in the Kamloops Youth Darts Program are busy practising for an upcoming trip to Lachine, Que. — the location of the Canadian National Youth Darts Competition. BCNG Portals Page:Canadian National Youth Darts Competition

The game of darts has its next bull’s eye set on India.
The exacting pastime, often associated with western pub culture and smoke-filled bars, has been gaining momentum in the country, thanks to the efforts by the national governing body, All India Darts Association (AIDA), to widen its appeal, and existing Indian enthusiasts who are spreading the word.
Later this year, India plans to play host to the first-ever India Open, featuring about 60 of the world’s top amateur players—both men and women—throwing for a total prize money of Rs10 lakh.

Broward-Palm Beach - News - Thunk! You Lose - browardpalmbeach.com
From time to time I wonder why the sport of darts has such a bad image problem, but then I stumble across an article like this that makes it clear to me...
On a recent Tuesday at Turn 3, a West Boca Raton dive bar that hosts dart league play, a representative from the Florida Dart Association is trying to persuade New Times to omit the best part of this story.
"Please don't print that," begs Ivan Hulan, a short, spiky-haired man with the shifty-eyed look of William H. Macy playing a salesman.
Sorry, man. That's our job.
Hulan takes a step back, arms akimbo, and bows his head. Hulan believes in darts with all his heart. Darts are moving up. People are excited about darts. It's got the Everyman appeal, the gritty bar setting, the possibility of big, corporate-sponsored tournaments. And now, it's as if this newspaper is going to publish the first-ever negative story about a darts league. (All right, there was that 6,000-word story in Sports Illustrated in 2001, showing how the game, even at the highest level of play, is inseparable from beer. This infuriated dart enthusiasts everywhere, including those I'm now interviewing, who are pretty much breathing Amberboch.)
This could be bad for darts.
Broward-Palm Beach - News - Thunk! You Lose - browardpalmbeach.com
If we ever want to bring the sport of darts into the main stream we will have to combat situations like the one in the article. We will have to try very hard to highlight the good that we do in our sport, show off the charitable work that we do and promote the outstanding class individuals that help build the sport.
....
There are now letters to the editor about the article....
I have teams with doctors, engineering managers, airport controllers, corporate executives, etc., and they don't act "stoopid" and throw darts at each other (although I think they'd want to sometimes when they meet the crazies).

Maybe darts could learn a thing or two from billiards:
Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., largest U.S. manufacturers of billiard and bowling equipment. Brunswick, which has done a lot to make bowling respectable, is now out to do as much for pool. Brunswick is well aware that many of the nation's 32,000 pool halls are only fronts; they are often gambling and bookie joints, or at best, no place for a lady. B-B-C employees are fined $1 every time they say "pool"; they must say "pocket billiards."
In trying to get out from behind the eight-ball,* B-B-C has made a big decision : to give up on the present generation of pool players.
....
B-B-C is concentrating its crusading efforts on 300,000 Boys' Club members and sending experts like Mosconi, Crane and trick-shot specialist Charlie Peterson to college campuses to demonstrate and stir up interest.

On a recent Tuesday at Turn 3, a West Boca Raton dive bar that hosts dart league play, a representative from the Florida Dart Association is trying to persuade New Times to omit the best part of this story.
"Please don't print that," begs Ivan Hulan, a short, spiky-haired man with the shifty-eyed look of William H. Macy playing a salesman.
Sorry, man. That's our job.
Hulan takes a step back, arms akimbo, and bows his head. Hulan believes in darts with all his heart. Darts are moving up. People are excited about darts. It's got the Everyman appeal, the gritty bar setting, the possibility of big, corporate-sponsored tournaments. And now, it's as if this newspaper is going to publish the first-ever negative story about a darts league. (All right, there was that 6,000-word story in Sports Illustrated in 2001, showing how the game, even at the highest level of play, is inseparable from beer. This infuriated dart enthusiasts everywhere, including those I'm now interviewing, who are pretty much breathing Amberboch.)
This could be bad for darts.
Broward-Palm Beach - News - Thunk! You Lose - browardpalmbeach.com
If we ever want to bring the sport of darts into the main stream we will have to combat situations like the one in the article. We will have to try very hard to highlight the good that we do in our sport, show off the charitable work that we do and promote the outstanding class individuals that help build the sport.
....
There are now letters to the editor about the article....
I have teams with doctors, engineering managers, airport controllers, corporate executives, etc., and they don't act "stoopid" and throw darts at each other (although I think they'd want to sometimes when they meet the crazies).

Maybe darts could learn a thing or two from billiards:
Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., largest U.S. manufacturers of billiard and bowling equipment. Brunswick, which has done a lot to make bowling respectable, is now out to do as much for pool. Brunswick is well aware that many of the nation's 32,000 pool halls are only fronts; they are often gambling and bookie joints, or at best, no place for a lady. B-B-C employees are fined $1 every time they say "pool"; they must say "pocket billiards."
In trying to get out from behind the eight-ball,* B-B-C has made a big decision : to give up on the present generation of pool players.
....
B-B-C is concentrating its crusading efforts on 300,000 Boys' Club members and sending experts like Mosconi, Crane and trick-shot specialist Charlie Peterson to college campuses to demonstrate and stir up interest. There are now some 130 college billiard teams (including Cornell, Princeton, Ohio State). The current champion: University of Minnesota. This summer B-B-C will open its first model billiard room in the Midwest. It will have air conditioning, indirect lighting and a swanky soda bar. Stroy Link...
Unicorn - Sid Waddell - uniBlog: ONWARD AND UPWARD
Once upon a time darts was played in a corner of a pub with a top whack audience of two dozen and the chuckers sometimes had to ask if the missile was in the right bed. Spectator sport? Don’t make me smile. For the past three months we have had upwards of 5000 punters riveted on ‘pomp darts’, as in ‘pomp rock’, played in massive arenas for the Premier Darts League and big audiences every Thursday night on Sky. Why are the modern masses hooked? In no particular order, here are a few reasons. Unicorn - Sid Waddell - uniBlog: ONWARD AND UPWARD

Taylor's & O'Shea's IDL 9 dart 501
Here's the video of Taylor's 9 dart 501:
Taylor wins an Opel Tigra car for hitting the nine-darter, which he donated to friend Raymond Penninkhof from Pendon Darts, who was involved in an accident at the weekend which saw his van written off.
Tony O'Shea hits a 9-darter as well!
Cheshire-based O'Shea matched Taylor's perfect leg during his 7-3 victory over Adrian Lewis in the second round two match.
Unfortunately for O'Shea, who was celebrating his 46th birthday, he will receive no prize for the feat after Taylor scooped the Opel Tigra car on Tuesday when he landed a nine-darter against Raymond van Barneveld.

Monroe — With an almost imperceptible flick of his wrist, Brendan O’Dowd tossed a dart toward the target. The dart rose slightly during its brief seven foot, nine and one-quarter inch flight, then lost altitude slightly. And - thwap - it came to rest in the bull’s eye, a circular space just a half-inch in diameter at the center of the board.

The Herald : Sport: most gripping sport I have watched
the most gripping sport I have watched so far this year was one that has to fight for credibility. Darts, in many people's eyes, is a pastime not a sport.
But when Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld faced each other in their sudden death play-off during the World Darts Championship it became one of those classic sporting moments.

Unicorn - The Premier League dream is over
The Premier League dream is over for Unicorn trio Colin Lloyd, Peter Manley and Adrian Lewis after all three were beaten on night 12 of the 2007 tournament in Blackburn.
But Phil Taylor powers on…..he demolished Lloyd to secure top spot ahead of the play-offs and extend that remarkable unbeaten Premier League run to 40 matches.
The top four for the semi-finals in Brighton will feature Taylor, Raymond Van Barneveld, Dennis Priestley and Terry Jenkins. Mathematically, Roland Scholten could still catch Priestley but he would have to win his final two matches 8-0 or 8-1 and hope Priestley loses his last two games by the same score…..realistically, that isn’t going to happen.

Unicorn: NOSTALGIA TIME AT CARDIFF Sid Waddell uniBlog
The Premier League swept into Cardiff last week and I was swept through with great memories.
I recalled, happily, for several Welsh newspapers the great days of Alan Evans and Leighton Rees, the two men who really put darts on the map in the late 1970s and early 80s. Their flamboyance, character and skill at the Indoor League and on other telly darts grabbed the public imagination. So I was delighted to get a warm letter from Alan’s daughter Claire and her husband Mark thanking me for keeping his name alive. Take it from me, if there had been a Premier League in 1980 Evans and Rees would have been in it – along with Brissy and Lobo. Who do you reckon would have been the other four?

Opening ceremonies for the 17th annual Corporate Games will feature 60 teams, the Buena High School Jazz Band, a torch lighting and a two-mile run/walk/jog on April 18 at the California Plaza where California Street meets the ocean.
More than 24 sports will be contested through May 19 with the closing ceremonies at Harbor Cove Beach in Ventura.
"The goal of the Corporate Games has been to promote teamwork and camaraderie at the workplace through friendly sports competitions among business of similar size," said Eric Burton, Corporate Games director and founder.
Corporate Games will begin April 18 in Ventura : Sports : Ventura County Star
Well what does this have to do with darts? This is the largest sporting event for everyday people in the county, and it features the largest darts event in the county. Granted that many of the participants in the darts event are first time players, but there are always many strong players in the event. Last year a couple of our league's players took top honors in the strongest division.
As a league we provide scorekeepers for the event, and this year we are providing coaching and clinics to help teams prepare for the darts event.
