The Challenge......

....a revised attempt to bring my mates regular competitive darts.

The Solution........

.....a new tour of 6 tournaments spaced across the year with long-term planning of dates to enable those family guys amongst us to negotiate the appropirate terms for their release.

It's been tried before. The distant dream of an actual tour of several tournaments held a across the year, with ranking points available for each. Back in 2004 we got as far a third event in six months before lethargy and other contributing factors set in. But to understand why the concept of organised darts runs so deep within my group of friends, we need to go back. Way back to time so long ago that not even I can remember the precise date. What is known is that one day back early 1992 a group of darts-loving school kids decided that an imminent Wednesday afternoon PE lesson would be better spent doing some proper sport.
