Hitting a few 180's.
Oh, and hitting two bulls to win a game of killer once.

Never won a competition but lost in 4 finals, so probably losing in the final of the league pairs is my greatest comp achievement.

Re: what have YOU done?
Hi all.....
I reached the quarter finals of my first ever competition when i played in the Tyne & Wear youth competition on the 27th of February......
I am 15, and before that hadnt had any competative experience at all so i was absolutley over the moon......
Prelims - playing ok, being understandably nervy, but I pulled through and that settled the nerves with a 3-1 win
Round 1 ......more comfortable and while i didnt do anything special, i hit my doubles an won 3-0
Round 2 - .....to be fair i had the luck of the draw first 2 games but now i faced a county youth player.....i played well in this game, again not missing much doubles and i hit a 180!! ........won 3-1 and was chuffed as the lad i played was good.
round 3 -.....this was the toughest test.....playing someone who was 18 and played mens county darts......he won the first leg, hitting plenty T20's and a couple of 100's and a 125 scores with good darts throughout the leg....i came back well and likewise had a solid leg to make it 1-1......he missed 1 dart at a double in the next leg ,and i stepped up and hit a 76 out to make it 2-1......he again had a great leg, which i couldnt keep up with him in, and he made it 2-2 and threw first in the decider......i was a frustrated with myself as i had done well to break his throw and had earned the right to be throwing for the match, but played a poor leg and that was dissapointing......anyway, i am not the type of person who beats himself up, and i just got on with it and we were level at 2-2......we matched each other all leg , but as we were approaching the buisness end of the leg i hit a much needed ton to leave 56.....he had a shot at 130 and didnt get a shot , leaving a more than capable 2 darter so the pressure was on......i stepped up and went 16 and tops to reach the quarters......i was over the moon and i was genuinly shocked to get this far......
Quarter finals .........I was playing Leon Bailey, who i must admit looked on fire all day.....he had barely dropped a leg and i believe he had won the event the last 3 times and was former british youth champion! .......anyway, we started and i was playing great.....i more often than not hit a treble each visit , but even that wasnt quite enough to match leon.....he hit many 125's, 140's , tons and a 180 in the game, and won 3-0......checking out 120 for the win......i did have 1 dart to win the opening leg but missed and he was the worthy winner, but i feel i played well enough to deserve a a leg or 2 but then again my A game was still dropping a little short so fair do's....
I wasnt dissapointed at all to get beat as in the end i had a great day and a superb run in the comp, and lets face it, going out to the 3x previous winner and british youth champion was a good way to go......

Re: what have YOU done?
I've been playing darts for about 18 months. My first achievement was hitting a 180 in my first match on stage for Durham youth in a game I won 2-1.
My next one is that i have won a local league u25's tournament two seasons in a row.
Reaching the Semi-Final of the youth Tyne and Wear open this year.
And finally getting through my youth county play-offs for the Youth Masters where I reached the last 8 in qualifying.

Re: what have YOU done?
Winning every game 2-0 during a Monday night season (20+ games) including win's over Chris Mason, and most of the top county players at the time. (think I was about 19 at the time). Lonnnnngggg time ago.
Winning the singles and doubles finals on our Wednesday night league when I was 16.
Playing 'A' team county Dart's at 16 (badly I might add, was sooo much better in the B's). I was the youngest ever 'A' team player for about a month, until Mark Dudbridge got picked.
Considering I only play once a week now, I just lost in the Monday night singles final (had to be to one of our team members, the git). I beat the raining champ and had to play a decent player in every round. Shame I played so cack in the last leg. Still - couple more 180 badges (didn't even realise they still gave those out).

Re: what have YOU done?
Playing once a week pub league darts for over 50 years.
Few 180 badges, a few bull finishes and last season we finished runners-up in the fours league.
Never been good enough for any induividual trophies or had enough time to see how good I could have been
