Introduction

This book has been compiled to provide details of tournament winners and runners up on the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation)Tour and the BDO (British Darts Organisation) world tournaments.

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
