Didn't we have a similar discussion on the old board about what constitutes a "sport" and what's just a "game"? I don't consider darts to be a sport any more than horseshoes or bowling.

I can hardly hold my excitement
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard

I think it was actually a little tangent we took on a thread. I know that it didn't last long whether because the interest died or the forum did...

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program...

Darts is a classic "pub" sport such as snooker and has recently been given Olmypic Status. World Darts is split between WBO and PDC, so there are effectively two World Championships. The PDC is shown on a subscription channel, so the audience isn't quite as big.

The atmosphere at a darts tournamnet is something else....hundreds of pissed up shouting blokes.....lovely!!!!

Feel free to fire anymore questions!!
