There are still those who are unable to grasp the concept of a points-per-dart (ppd) average. Simply put, it’s all points scored, divided by all darts thrown. It doesn’t matter whether a player wins or loses a leg or match, and it doesn’t matter who throws first or second; the formula is always the same. [...]

#darts On This Day… Brownies Blog
What does March 15 mean to you? Some are aware that the 15th is known as “the Ides of March”, which is the date (in 44 BC) on which Julius Caesar was slain.

ADO - Steve Brown #darts Brownie's Blog 1-19-11
Tonight, I Celebrate…
…or perhaps I shouldn’t…
My first blog of 2011 focuses on a situation that seems to be causing friction these days. I’m tired of hearing how unnecessary and “unsporting” it is to show even a little emotion after hitting a big shot. Why?

#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.

#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.

I'm Steve Brown, and welcome to my blog. Unfortunately, we couldn't really come up with a better name for it, but hopefully, the content here will be more exciting and fulfilling. Basically, I will be covering all aspects of the sport of darts on here, and although you won't be able to post directly on the page, please feel free to drop me an email with any questions or suggestions.
Before I start here, I'll tell you a bit about myself; those who know me needn't panic, as I'll try to keep it brief! read more at...
