[yrneh1938]

i have been watching womens darts


why are they such bad darts players

[Baldric]

Can you do better?

[yrneh1938]

yes

[MallyJ]

Because they haven't got time to hang around pubs and such like practising drinking loads and aiming a dart at a round target....men, of course have nothing better to do than waste time throwing darts at targets.

[MallyJ]

Actually I should clarify that remark of mine....some men don't have anything better to do

[-Talbot-]

Surely by the same token, some women have nothing better to do.

[Tilly2]

I was a very good darts player in my time. I even had my own set of arrers! Double top, every throw, if necessary.

[Baldric]

Why not treble? ;o)

Competition tends to breed higher standards. Men's darts has been popular for a few decades now, but the increased level of competition has seen standards explode recently; each new star raising the bar and forcing a response from the rest. There are also more competitions and more top players than ever before.

Competition in the women's game isn't nearly so intense, and participation not nearly so high. As a result, you would expect standards to be lower. In principle this could change as more women start competing and therefore demand higher standards; in practice, it's probably always going to be true that women's darts is going to lag behind men, because I don't expect it to ever become high-profile enough.

Double top, every throw, if necessary.




Tilly, you're better than Van Gerwen ...why did you waste your talent?

[Tilly2]

I meant treble. 180!

[TonyV]

Think the worst of them would beat me. I used too be pretty good, but best pub game is crib my old local in the 80''s used to play in local league, used to bring some revenue in on a Monday night
