But when Dennis Ovens against a qualifier is the last game of the night then I think theres a case for saying that the tournament quality is being diluted by having a 72 player tv stage.

None of the 'black disabled lesbian warbling backwards' stuff that the other players inflicted on me.

Originally posted by DrJFF View Postmaybe someone might know how much practice is needed to get good at darts? years?
like if you took someone who had never played before how long would it take, assumin they have no innate talent for the game,
also why are the majority of darts players overweight? due to the nature of the practice and is a sport based around being in the pub and slamming back pints
I could be talking crap but I think the game should be possible to play close to flawlessly, but that it isn't because the people who play it are depressed, overweight, alcoholic wife beaters with the discipline of a puppy with ADHD.
The board doesn't move, the targets aren't that small. When you consider what those pistol shooting type people in the Olympics do where they keep their hand completely steady and slow their heart rate down hugely to hit a tiny target.
I remember in the 80s when these slobs used to skull pints while playing. That says it all to me. The game should be unplayable imo.

Originally posted by hotspur View PostI also imagine that the average IQ of a darts player is around 90, and there is a correlation between intelligence and hand-eye co-ordination. They are little more than dogs.

And let's not forget that there's a correlation between being overweight and fine motor control so no darts player who is overweight can be considered to have the right kind of dedication. No-one is disputing that they spend several hours a day throwing spikes into a board in their local pub.

Originally posted by Flushdraw View PostI don't get the Denis Ovens love. Fantastic nickname alright, but one of the most boring matches i ever had the misfortune of tuning in to watch was Denis Ovens v Dennis Smyth. It was worse than getting a tooth pulled!
