Darts – Psychic Interference?


Peter 63.79% Ian 57.34% Dave 56.39% Doddy 45.45% Steve 45.33%
Mike D 44.44% Fred 39.18% Papa 37.18% Colin 31.16% Malc 25.64%

On the dot of 8.00pm Dave, Doddy and Mike D tumbled through the hut door all looking very keen to do battle. We gave the ‘flipometers’ their second outing and once again they met with approval. I am beginning to feel there really was some technophobia about my beloved ‘pickometer’!

As we flipped the flipometers I noticed that Dave was staring intently at them and waving his free hand in a sort Obi-Wan Kenobi “These aren’t the droids you are looking for” kind of way. I wondered for a moment if he was trying to influence the outcome of the random draw.

The outcome (interfered with or not) was Peter and MikeD ‘V’ Dave and Doddy. We set out on a seven match rollercoaster which was chocker block with changes of lead, trebles galore, bull finishes, players taking themselves out of the hut for a good talking to and some contestants claiming ‘special abilities’ (more on this later).

Despite the fierce competition clear winners emerged in the form of Pete and Mike, the final score line was PM 12467 / DD 35. Great darts were played by everyone, top match.

Notable Events:

During one of Doddy’s turns he scored a bullseye on the last dart, Dave immediately piped up “ I knew that was going in I could feel it, in fact I may even have made it go in!” I reckon we are going to have to rename Dave ‘Darth Dave’ after all this psychic interference!

One game saw the 20’s, 19’s 18’S and 17’s wiped out for little or no score by the beginning of the third round, the competition was tighter than a gnat’s chuff.

Bull Wars: Mike D 3, Doddy 2, Pete 2, Darth Dave 1.

Chart Changes:

It seems my predictions of yesterday were not unfounded! Dave drops one place to 3rd leaving him a smidge under 1% behind Ian. Doddy retains 4th position but has Steve breathing down his neck, just 0.12% behind him. Game on!
