A quick and curious side note: Nobles were fond of using smaller sized darts than the commoners and the soldiers. The nineteenth century saw the dissemination of numerous versions of the game. At this point, the game had not yet consolidated nor was it organized in any sense of the word.
Various scoring systems were being used across the nation, and no standard rule set had yet emerged. Nevertheless, during the s the game of darts began to gather momentum and reached levels of popularity it had never before achieved. With this heightened popularity came a wave of innovation and it was at this time that the first numbering systems began to become developed. The development of the modern numbering system can be attributed with being one of the most impactful changes to the game of darts, and through it, the game gained even more popularity and eventual recognition as a sport.
The modern numbering arrangement around the circumference of the dartboard starting at the top is the following:. Although this particular arrangement might seem spitefully random, it is actually a meticulously picked number order that provides the game with incredible depth and a degree of fairness that has benefited it tremendously.
There is a hidden genius behind this particular arrangement that belies its apparent randomness. Through careful consideration, we can quickly observe that numerically close numbers, for example, 20 and 19, are as far as possible from each other.
Skill and accuracy are needed to attain the best scores. In fact, this arrangement can punish inaccurate throws aggressively. For example, say that you want to hit the high score of 20 and fire a sloppy shot, there is a substantial chance then that you will hit either a 1 or a 5. The twentieth century received the game of darts with controversy. Historical records show that in the year a pub owner in the town of Leeds was taken to court for allowing his customers to play darts in his establishment.
The argument was that darts was a game of chance, which was illegal at the time. When the court clerk was asked to emulate the feat, only one dart stuck to the board. Needless to say that the case was dismissed and the rest is history. Numbers in Play: bullseye, 20,19,18,17,16, Rules: The aim is to 'close' these numbers on the board, and get the highest point score.
All numerical scores are added together. To close the bullseye, the outer bull counts as a single, and the inner bull counts as a double. Numbers can be 'owned' or 'closed' in any order. No need to call your shot. Players: Any, but three or more players is more fun. Numbers in Play: The numbers used are determined by the players. Each player throws a dart with their opposite hand to randomly choose their number. Once a player is a killer, they aim for doubles of opponents' numbers.
If a killer hits their own double by mistake, they lose one life. The last player standing is the winner. Numbers in Play: All numbers, but as each score must be higher than 40, the 20 is pretty popular. Rules: Ten stripes are marked on the scoreboard as wickets. One player bats and the other bowls. The batter goes first. Lisa Ashton from Lancashire has since been a dominate in the ladies game, winning in , , and again in However, in Lisa was sensationally knocked out in the first round by the Japanese soft-tip star, Mikuru Suzuki.

The chairman of the BDO at the time said this would be reviewed. The move was not met with overall approval from the loyal BDO darts fans as they decided to not attend in their thousands.
The BDO world championship will go down in history for all the wrong reasons. The change of venue and the recent loss of professional darts referees all added to the BDO misery.
