...and even they forgot about the darts!
#darts Randkings in the US... so many and how useful
"do u think we can possibly ever have one universal point system for all?
n i mean all? ada,nda,ado,ndfc,and any other NORTH AMERICAN ORGS????"
Was the question posed on Improving darts! on Facebook click here (A Members only group)
It's a hard question and many folks are looking for ways to answer the question, but the obvious issue is that a lot of folks don't think that the ADO Rankings are working. Several organizations have their own systems that attempt to address the question of who are the strongest players on the North American Dart Circuit. It appears that each of these organizations ranking systems addresses the wants and needs of the organization running the ranking system, but the key question is; "Which system appeals to the average tournament player?" But then that brings up the question of "Who is the average tournament player?" and that brings us to; "Is there really an average tournament player in North American?" Maybe there are even more questions that need to be answered...
I'm thinking the final answer will be "Only time will tell" and the ranking system proves to be most user friendly and accurate should win the day.... but I could be wrong about that... dartplayers seem to be slow to change... if pressed I would say that ADO Rankings are more viewed than many of the newer rankings systems, and then MLDrankins is likely the next most utilized ranking system of the newer systems on offer. Only time will tell if this holds true in the future.
What do you want in a ranking system?

#darts Should Darts be an Olympic Sport?
Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony
was a brilliant mess of unabashedly bonkers Britishness, but all this
national character suddenly feels lacking when watching the sports on
offer. You could argue that none of the events in London 2012 have a true British vibe, because every great Olympic sport we invented, we promptly exported and forgot how to play.
Take tennis for example; before Murray’s epic Sunday victory, the last time Britain won gold in tennis was 1908, way back when you could get a medal in the tug of war. Clearly what’s needed is a sport that shows off some of what Britain’s really all about: beer, pork scratchings and drunken bankers. So where the hell are the medals for darts this summer?
Hidden just off London Bridge in the square mile is Porters Lodge, the capital’s waterhole with a reputation as “darting heaven” amongst those in the know. The locals in the Lodge here are pretty pissed — pun fully intended — at their sport of choice missing out on a chance in the Olympic spotlight. The British Darts Organisation lobbied strongly for darts to be included in London 2012, but despite being recognised as a bona-fide sport in 2005 (the year London won the games) and members of the Olympic Committee attending Lakeside World Pro Darts Championships, it wasn’t added to the list.

#darts Anne Kramer ISSUE 4 August.
The days where you could
attend a tournament, win the singles event, and are given a huge trophy.
Not to mention, I huge check (cheque) to go with it.
If you were a male, you could win the
Men’s Singles event at a $10k tournament and get a fat $1,000.00 check
along with that huge trophy. It was like that at tournaments all over
the country and a pre-requisite that your open singles event paid first
place at least 10% of your total tournament payout for the win. Back
then; a player could make a living with these winnings.

#darts DIARY OF A DART PLAYER WITH ANDY RELF – Everything’s going great for me... that is, except for my knee! - Darts - Sussex Express
THINGS are going great on the dart board at the moment.
Confidence is high, I’m scoring great, and my finishing has improved almost to a point where I’m happy with it.
For the second week running in Superleague I took the man of the match award with a 28.49 average per dart, which was also best in the county for the second consecutive week.
