Darts – State of the Nation.

A top evening's darts, many closely fought matches but despite that one team consistently took the honours. Well played Ian and CM who beat Peter and Papa in 6-3 victory. The final score line was ICM 134678 / 259 PePa.

Notable Events:

The usual smattering of good trebles, doubles semis etc. It is unusual to report a poor dart here but it was suggested I should... Somebody went outside the treble ring while aiming for bulls, I am not going to say who, ian case you all start rushin about making rude comments on Thursday.

Bull Wars: CM 3, Ian 2, Papa 2, Peter 1. This makes CM the Bullmeister for the evening!

Chart Changes: No moves and mo massive gains or losses, Pete -1.25%, Ian +1.12%, CM +0.43%. Papa -1.0%

State of the nation:

We are around one third of the way through this season and the year is certainly shaping up to be different to previous seasons.

Attendance so far this year is somewhat fragmented. High attendees have (so far) been Peter, Ian and CM all showing over 10 visits. Papa in the middle ground with 7 visits Moving down to the lower end with Doddy, Dave, John, Mike D and Steve under 5 visits. There are good reasons for most of the low attendance numbers and I hope some can be caught up through the rest of the year.

I am fairly sure that you all know but I will state it again for the record:

I reserve the right to discount a player's score from the final yearly standings if he has attended less that twelve times and I consider his current score disproportionate because of this. At the moment John is probably the only player who would fall foul of this rule because the bugger still has 92.86% after 2 visits. Come on Johnny boy we are all waiting to grab a few percentage points from you! :-)

MOTM: Doddy currently holds the highest MOTM % (measured against attendance).

Who is your money on to win this year? If I had to bet at the moment I would put my money on CM and Ian taking first and second place and after that it is guess work.

Still.... Plenty of time to go yet so, Game On!
