Darts Matchplay LIVE

July 20, 2019 By Zola Zeester Leave a Comment

Playing a game of darts is fun, and it's also a competitive sport. Watch dart tournament play live On2In2™.

Super, Smashing – Bullseye!  Darts is a competitive throwing sport as well as traditional pub game played by people of all ages and skill level.

There are lots of different games played using a dartboard, but playing a game of darts usually involves two players, with one player at a time throwing three darts per turn. The throwing player must stand so that no portion of a foot extends past the ‘oche’ (aka throw line or toe line), but can lean over it and stand anywhere else in the playing area.

The most common objective of darts is to reduce a score from a starting total (e.g., 301 or 501) to zero (called “checking out”) as the score for each thrower’s turn is deducted from the total;  however, the final dart must land in either the bullseye or a double segment in order to win.  When two teams play, the starting score is sometimes increased to 701 or 1001, but basic rules remain the same.  Most professional matches are a simple game called “501 up”.  See Darts Regulation Authority Rule Book → Here 

Expert thrower, Darren Parzow, explains how to play 301 and 501 in an instructional video from the series ‘How to Play Darts’ → Here

If you missed the darts competition at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia competition darts, there’s still time tow watch a video recording.  Just Click/Tap the “Watch Again” button located on the media player below.   Also available is arm wrestling competition finals. 

Before WWI, pubs in the UK installed dartboards made from solid blocks of wood, but it wasn’t an ideal target as the boards had to be soaked in water to keep the wood soft, and the darts damaged the surface causing holes to develop.  In mid-1930’s, a pub owner and chemist came up with the idea of bundling and compressing plant fibers to make dartboards, and this successfully solved the problems of durability and maintenance.

Adding to the fun, electronic dartboards were introduced in the 1970’s, offering a wide variety of programmed scoring and games.

Lawn Bowls

November 17, 2018 By Zola Zeester Leave a Comment

Lawn Bowls is a sport that's fun for everybody.

Lawn Bowls (aka ‘bowls’ and ‘lawn bowling’) is an outdoor/indoor target sport played on a flat surface of natural grass, artificial turf or carpet (known as a ‘bowling green’) with balls (called ‘bowls’) that are specifically designed to travel a curved path when rolled on the bowling green.  It’s origins can be traced to a 13th century game played in Britain, and there are many different formats and variations of the sport played today in over 40 countries.  However, all are based on a simple premise — roll your ‘bowl’ closest to the target and have fun!  Here are some basics of singles competition:

Two people play against each other in singles.  Players are called bowlers.

At the start, a target (called a ‘jack’) is rolled by the winner of a coin toss.

Players then each take turns bowling a set number of bowls.  After each ‘end’ (when all players have bowled), the players then bowl back in the opposite direction.

A ‘shot’ is scored for every bowl that rests closest to the jack.  The first bowler to reach 21, 25 or 31 shots (as decided by local rules) is the winner.
