Introduction
This book has been compiled to provide details of tournament winners and runners up on the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation)Tour.
There maybe errors with names being mispelt and that ladies surnames may have changed but I've put in an enormous time and effort to correctly record the results of the tournamets.
Research that has been completed for this book is to provide the reader and dart enthuiast information on books and links to web sites of dart manufacturers, County Darts Organisations, Professional Bodies and Organisations, dart stores, and Country Darts Organisations.
This is not a comprehensive list but it begins the work of collating details of darts into one place instead of being scattered around the World Wide Web across many sites and publications.
This is the first of a number of ebooks to be published detailing tournament results. There will eventually be publications for dart tournaments arounf the world using the same format as this book.
I hope you enjoy the book.
Best Ways To Finish
3 Dart Finishes
2 Dart Finishes
These finishes or “checkouts” using the jargon of the darts world, are not by no means the proper way to finish. There are various permutations of finishes for the scores above. The finishes highlighted are the usual conventional ways of finishing that particular score. I personally admit not to using the above tables for finishing but rely on how I feel at the time of playing.
There are exceptions to the rules, for example if your opponent was on a double or on two dart finish and you were on a three dart finish you should go for a "crowd pleaser finish", ie. the harder way is usually the best, eg. 132 - 25 T19 Bull, this way could be used in normal play but it is not advisable because of the high risk factor.
Nowadays and since the inception of the PDC, darts players, especially on the continent, are constantly using the whole board. Whilst dart players back in the 70's and 80's rarely strayed from the conventional way of playing.
PDC players today use these checkouts as the norm now:
To finish 164, the conventional way was to score treble 20, treble 18, and the Bull. As you can see the dart player is aiming at three different areas of the board to finish and are more likely to miss. Now current players will usually finish 164 by trying to score 2 treble 19's (114) and then the Bull. Therefore only aiming at only two areas of the board and more than likely get the two trebles that is required.
Other finishes that have changed besides 164 are:
150 = T19,T19,D18
148 = T20,T20,D14
146 = T19,T19,D16
142 = T19,T19,D14
145 = T20,T19,D14
140 = T20,T20,D10
135 = 25,T20,Bull
134 = T17,T17,D16
129 = 19,T20,Bull
128 = 18,T20,Bull
122 = T15,T15,D16
116 = 19, T19, D20
108 = 19,T19,D16
99 = T17, 16, D16
88 = T20,D14
62 = T14,D10
In some cases the conventional 2 dart checkouts are now 3 dart checkouts if opponent is on a finish, which allows one dart at double to win the leg or match. These have become the norm as well, now that most dart players in the PDC can finish/checkout on 3 dart finishes regularly.
Listed below are the 2 dart finishes that have changed to 3:
95 = 25,20,Bull
94 = 25,19,Bull
93 = 25,18,Bull
92 = 25,17,Bull
91 = 25,16,Bull
90 = 20,20,Bull
89 = 25,14,Bull
88 = 25,13,Bull
87 = 25,12,Bull
86 = 25,11,Bull
