Come to think of it, in my youth I knew people who would have been a shoo-in to win gold in such an event........ :
Aren’t they the rules for ordinary darts? ????

I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

25 pints, that's just lunch most days! ;D
Pies aren't so popular, a chip butty is the preferred fair of the darts player. Although the pros are very fitness conscious, so they cut the carbs(no bread) and stick with chips and a dart(smoke)!

Darts is a pure sport.
Athlete vs dartboard.
No judges needed.
You score what you hit.
A worthy addition to the Olympic program.
I'd like to see 'bottletops' added to the Olympic program.
When I was at school we had two seasons...marbles and bottletops.
The seasons used to end rather abruptly and you would go in one day from your marble bag to your bag of bottle tops.
Rules are simple.
Opposing players throw their bottletop against the wall.
The one closest to the wall gets first go.
They have to balance their bottletop and their opponents bottletop on the tip of their bent elbow(one cap on top of the other).
In one smooth motion they have to flick the arm and catch the tops.
If successful they get to keep both tops.
If not it becomes the opponents turn.
There is a professional version of the game where coins are used instead of bottlecaps.
In either version a big bag was very prestigious. ;D
