World Professional Darts Championship

The World Professional Darts Championship is one of the most important tournaments in the darts calendar. Originally held as an annual event between 1978 and 1993, players then broke off into two separate organisations after a controversial split in the game. Each organisation, the British Darts Organisation (BDO) and the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) now organise their own World Championship in January. As a result, there is no longer a unified World Champion in the game. Phil Taylor has won 16 world titles, 2 in the BDO and 14 in the PDC version, and is widely considered the greatest player ever.

The BDO have organised their version dating back to 1978, when it was held at the Heart of the Midlands nightclub, Nottingham. The following year it moved to the Jollees Cabaret Club, Stoke, where it stayed until 1985. Since then it has been held at the Lakeside Leisure Complex at Frimley Green, Surrey.

The PDC version started in 1994 after "the split", with a field of players containing all active previous World Champions from the BDO. It was originally staged at Purfleet's Circus Tavern, Essex before moving to Alexandra Palace for the 2008 World Championship.

Darts

Darts is a form of throwing game in which small missiles are thrown at a circular target (dartboard) fixed to a wall. Though various boards and rules have been used in the past, the term "darts" usually now refers to a standardised game involving a specific board design and set of rules. As well as being a professional competitive sport, darts is a traditional pub game, commonly played in the United Kingdom, across the Commonwealth, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Republic of Ireland, the Scandinavian countries, the United States, and elsewhere.

Equipment

Dartboard

Darts were historically used in warfare in ancient history; skirmishers used darts of varying sizes, similar to miniature javelins. It was the practice of this skill that developed into a game of skill. Before the First World War, pubs in the United Kingdom had dartboards made from solid blocks of wood, usually elm. They had to be soaked overnight to heal the holes made by the darts, and it was a messy business for the publican, although darts was a popular game. This changed when a company called Nodor, whose primary business was making modelling clay (which has no odour, hence the name Nodor), started producing clay dartboards in 1923. The clay dartboards never caught on, and Nodor switched to making the traditional elm dartboards that were popular at the time. Their model of dartboard was not a great success until someone came up with the idea of using the century plant to make a dartboard. Small bundles of sisal fibres of the same length were bundled together. The bundles were then compressed into a disk and bound with a metal ring. It was an instant success, as the darts did little or no damage to the board—they just parted the fibres when they entered the board; this type of board was more durable and required little maintenance.

World championship

A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world, representing their nations, and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest.

The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or, less commonly, ranking systems (e.g. the ICC Test Championship), or a combination of the two (e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon). This determines a 'world champion', who or which is commonly considered the best nation, team, individual (or other entity) in the world in a particular field, although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the 'world champion' (see Underdog).

Certain sports do not have a world championship, instead they may organise a world cup competition, or they may organize both. Often, the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words. Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations such as mixed martial arts, boxing and wrestling.

Jim Hathaway: Mount up, Red Dog, they need the pros again.

[Noticing that the aircraft is approaching the airport from behind them, and lining up on the runway they occup]::Fireman: He's coming in behind us... he's coming right at us!

Heidi: Better pick up. It's Marg at the Comm Center!::Gary Brown: Yeah, Marg?::Marg: I... I just got a call from Sioux Tower. Get on the loop.::Gary Brown: I'm on.::Chris Porter: Understand Sioux City is option one after Des Moines. Is pilot aware Sioux Gateway's longest runway is 9,000 feet?::Minneapolis Center: Sioux City, at this time pilot is just, uh, looking for a home.::Chris Porter: Roger, standing by.::[pause]::Gary Brown: My God. Rich! Rich! Get the comm trailer out to Gateway, I think we got something going on. Heidi? This one's real!

[over P.A]::Sioux City Fire Dispatch: 2403 Ogden Avenue, Sioux Gateway Airport, Alert Two.

Chris Porter: Where is he going? He can't make the turn to 31.::Mack Zubinski: Hey! He's coming in on 22.::Chris Porter: Uh, Sir? that, uh, runway is closed. That's 22, Sir. But if you have to, you can line up on it.::Al Haynes: Well, we're pretty well lined up now. How long is that runway?::Chris Porter: Uh, United 232 Heavy. Okay, Sir. T-t-that will work. It's 6,600 feet, and the equipment's coming off.

Marg: Rescue One, this is Comm Center. What have you got there, dear?::Gary Brown: She's down and burning! It's a big jet fuel fire. Bob says we got plenty of foam but not water. We need every truck full!::Marg: What about survivors?::Gary Brown: I don't think so, Marg.

Al Haynes: We must have taken out all the hydraulics lines at once, is that possible?::Bill Records: Well, they all come together back there.::Al Haynes: Get on the yoke with me, will you? I don't know if it's doing any good or not, but it's all we got. You need to handle the number three throttles too. I can't handle them both. Dudley, what does the manual say?::Dudley Dvorak: See page I-63.::United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. Understand you have normal power on number one and number three engine?::Al Haynes: Maintenance, 232, affirmative. We need help on loss of all, repeat, all hydraulic systems. What have you got, Dudley?::Dudley Dvorak: [frantically] Main bus, main backup, the hell! It doesn't say anything about all three out! It's not supposed to happen!::Al Haynes: Minneapolis Center, United 232 Heavy.::Minneapolis Center: 232, go ahead.::Al Haynes: Sir, we have a problem. We have no hydraulic fluid, which means we have no elevator control, almost none. We have a little aileron control. We're trying to steer with throttles only. I have serious doubts about reaching destination. Do you know someplace nearby where we might be able to land? If I don't take control of this airplane soon, I'll have to put her down wherever she happens to be.::Minneapolis Center: 232, Roger. Standby one.::[pause]::United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. You might try flight manual, page I-63.::Dudley Dvorak: I'm on I-63!::Minneapolis Center: 232 Heavy, Minneapolis Center. Do you wish to declare an emergency?::Al Haynes: Yes, Sir! That is affirmative. We'd appreciate all the help we can get.

Dennis Fitch: Tell you what. We'll all have a beer when we get this sucker down.::Al Haynes: I don't drink, but I'll sure as hell have one on that!

[picking up the telephone]::Mack Zubinski: Sioux City Tower? Say again? 232 Heavy? Confirm me heavy. Understand, a DC-10 squawking 7700. Roger, standing by.::[to Porter]::Mack Zubinski: Minneapolis Center. Get set for an emergency hand-off.::Chris Porter: A DC-10?::Mack Zubinski: Yeah. Tail engine blown out, no hydraulics. Only control he's got is right and left throttle. Poor bastard's circling high and looking for a place to land.::Chris Porter: You wanna take approach control?::Mack Zubinski: No, you'll do fine. I'm right behind you.
