Hi Guys

Great to see our local SA District having a website. I am a player in the Northern Freestate Districts playing for a club called Buddies in Odendaalsrus. We are in the prosses of launching our own website and will also supply all our stats and rankings. Darts are alive and well in the Freestate. Who knows we might play against you in the future.

Darts well wishes.

Phil Taylor wins SA Masters

2007-10-10T07:27:00.000+02:00

Phil Taylor defeated Raymond van Barneveld 8-6 to win the Emperors Palace South African Masters in Johannesburg. Taylor produced a marvellous display in an enthralling final against the Dutchman, with both players averaging over 100.The 13-time World Champion had already left the Johannesburg crowd amazed with a stunning comeback in his semi-final win over Terry Jenkins, and again finished the stronger to take the title at Emperors Palace, winning four of the final five legs.
Van Barneveld played his part in a brilliant contest, hitting the first of six 180s with his opening darts and also landing a 136 finish early in the game on his way to a 4-2 lead. A 100 checkout saw him move 5-4 up before Taylor - who had already had an 89 finish on the bullseye - mounted his fightback. He punished missed darts at double top and double ten in the next three legs in taking a 7-5 advantage, leading for the first time in the game.Van Barneveld hit back on double eight in the next after Taylor missed the bullseye for a 132 finish which would have earned him the win. He had to wait little more time, though, before wrapping up the title on double top in the next leg to pick up the £5,000 first prize. "It's been a great weekend," said Taylor, who had watched Cape Town's Charles Losper win the Emperors Palace PDC South African Open on Saturday. "The final was second to none and a great standard, and so were the semis. The South African players put up a good showing and it's great to see them doing well."I'm looking forward to hopefully coming back next year. Emperors Palace have been great hosts and the sport is really growing in South Africa." Taylor had earlier produced a miraculous comeback against Jenkins to book his place in the final, hitting back from 4-0 down to win 6-4. Jenkins started superbly and included a 12-darter among two breaks of throw. Taylor got off the mark with an 11-darter in leg five, and cut the gap to 4-2 after missed darts at double top and double ten from his opponent. He then landed double top with Jenkins waiting on 32 to reduce the arrears to one leg, and an 86 finish on the bullseye levelled the game. A superb 103 finish on double 12 saw Taylor edge in front, and another bull checkout - this time for 89 - saw him complete the win. Van Barneveld edged out James Wade 6-5 in another thriller to book his place in the final. The first seven legs of the game went with the throw as both scored heavily and landed their doubles when it mattered, before van Barneveld landed the first break with a 124 finish on the bullseye in leg eight to go 5-3 up. Wade struck back immediately on double 18 after the Dutchman missed two darts for the match, and also stepped in to win leg ten in the same manner and send the contest into a decider. Van Barneveld kicked off the final leg with a fourth 180 of the match, and he had enough breathing space to allow for further misses before sealing the win on double five.The first round saw the four South African stars drawn against the PDC players, and home fans were left applauding the skills of the visiting players. Only Charles Losper, the Emperors Palace PDC SA Open winner on Saturday, won a leg - during his loss to van Barneveld. Cape Town's Losper also had a chance to level his game at 2-2, but his missed double 12 allowed van Barneveld in and was punished for another wasted chance at the double in the next leg as the Dutchman sealed victory.Johannesburg's Paul Meyer landed two maximums in his contest with Jenkins, but was punished for his missed doubles in a 4-0 defeat, Jenkins taking out 90 in the first leg and a 13-darter during the win. Taylor defeated Welsh-born Mike Ryder 4-0, with Wade overcoming PDC SA Open runner-up Lodewyk Marais by the same scoreline.Emperors Palace South African MastersRound OnePhil Taylor 4-0 Mike RyderTerry Jenkins 4-0 Paul MeyerRaymond van Barneveld 4-1 Charles LosperJames Wade 4-0 Lodewyk MaraisLosers £1,000Semi-FinalsPhil Taylor 6-4 Terry JenkinsRaymond van Barneveld 6-5 James WadeLosers £1,500Final Phil Taylor 8-6 Raymond van BarneveldWinner £5,000Runner-Up £3,000

OUT SHOT on 80 (interesting)

2007-06-10T21:58:00.000+02:00

Erik writes "You are playing 501 and it's time to hit that out. You've got 80 left, what do you do? Trip 16, Double 16? Is that your shot? Really? Are you Phil Taylor? Even if you were, what are the odds you'd hit that out? Are you REALLY sure?

Let's take a look at an 80 out shot on the 16's...and let's assume you ARE Phil Taylor (11 time winner of the Ladbrokes.com World Masters Championship)...

Phil hits about 30% to 33% triples, so assuming he is looking at 80 out, what would he do?

To hit a trip 16 double 16 out shot, he needs to shoot the triple first, but he has a 67 to 70 % chance of missing!! WHAT? This is Phil Taylor we are talking about! Holy Cow!

If I told you there was a way to turn that around would you be interested? How about a 67 to 70% chance you would HIT your first dart? How about the second dart too?

OK, back to the out: If Phil shoots and he misses the Trip 16 (which is 67-70% likely) he has 64 left. 64 + 16 =80 right? OK, so now in order to take that out he MUST hit a triple or a double BEFORE he can throw again at a double.

I can almost guarantee he WILL NOT take that chance. He'd rather win he game then take a chance like that...how about you?

Let's look at it this way: You've got 80 and you been banging away at the 20's all night, so why not hit another one? You have at least a 70% chance of hitting that puppy (at least if you are Phil Taylor but likely many intermediate players have a high chance too -- certainly higher then the Trip 16).

Now, if you hit that single 20 -- just what you wanted -- then you only need one more (again a 70% chance of getting it) to set you up for the double out....a double tops -- again right where you have thrown all night!

If odds are important -- and anyone that says they are not is lying, or has never played and tried to get to a Double 16 -- then take the odds better out!

80 Out is: Single 20, Single 20 Double 20.

BUT, what if you accidentally hit a Triple 20 with that 1st dart? Easy Peasy Mate, toss in a Double 10 for the finish...

In fact, if you were to hit a Single 5 you still have a shot (albeit tougher) by going Single Bull Double Bull, or Trip 17, Double 12. In fact the list goes on and on, but starting with a fat single 20 is the way to go.

So why do so many insist that 80 Out is Trip 16 Double 16? Perhaps they never really looked at the out and the odds of hitting it, or just assume that since some old fella at the pub told 'em that's the way then that's the way.

Incidentally, I've hit 80 out by going Trip 16, Double 16, but that's not the best way to take that shot when it counts. However, it can be fun when it is less important, or you are feeling very cocky. But if my money were on the line, and I was shooting in a game I must win, I WILL ALWAYS go Single 20, single 20, double 20 -- 80 Out.

Food for Thought - practice makes perfect

2007-06-08T23:05:00.000+02:00

Somewhere in the world, someone is training when you are not. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. Never give up!!!!!

Here is a pretty good practice routine

The game of 170......

Start with 170 and take it out simply... this is good for just warming up before a match... not throwing too many t20's all the time and working on dbls as well.....or you can try it this way as well

If by yourself, #'s of darts = points

3 darts = 5 points
4 darts = 4 points
5 darts = 3 points
6 darts = 2 points
7 darts = 1 point
8 darts = -1
9 darts = -2
10 darts = -3
11+ darts = -5

play till you get 15 points

You can play this with an opponent as well, or just play first person to get to 15 pts

Note :- when warming up for a dbls match, this is a great way for a dbls team to warm-up together......
