Darts World Championship - Anybody Watching?

[onewhippedpuppy]

Anybody else watching? It’s in London and on DAZN. I’m totally addicted! Combine a World Cup worthy crowd of rowdy drunk people wearing costumes and doing chants, interesting characters, and really competitive dart action. It’s sorta like the Dodgeball movie but real.

I’ve seen it a few times ? as you may guess from my forum name, Im a dart player. Been in various leagues for over 30 years.

Here’s a clip for those who are curious- the game is 501, object is to subtract your hits until you reach 0, last dart has to hit the double. In 30 years, Ive hit a “ton 80”- three triple 20s in one turn a total of times. There guys trade them back and forth like its nothing. 9 dart 501 is a perfect game

Yes! I just finished watching the final on DAZN, I had to work and missed it live. I enjoy darts but I suck, this is possibly the most addictive thing I’ve ever watched.

Are there other similarly competitive and entertaining leagues available to watch online? I’m seriously entertaining a trip to London next year to watch with my wife and brother in law, who turned us into this amazing show.

I've watched a few times. Where is this? Crazy that there are so many fans watching darts. Looks like fun!

I learned yesterday there is a professional Corn Hole league. My whole life is a lie…lol!

Sport or not it’s entertaining as hell!

I think the wild crowds is a European thing, here’s a video of the American Darting Organization final in Las Vegas


Try not to fall asleep ?

It makes me feel better about myself when one of those guys blows an easy shot

I saw one video where a player was wearing earmuff hearing protection because the crowd was annoying him
