[Rudy]

Wayne, Adie, Phil and Kevin through I think.


BTW Such a pity noone could answer my question in the day 2 thread about the double in rule, so I try again here:

If a player hits d. 20 with his first dart, then tr. 20 and again tr. 20 but he knocks the first dart out with his third dart, does he get no score or 160 less 40 = 120?
Thanks for answering!

Thansk for answering!

Rudy.

At a guess, he would score 0. The score is only called after 3 darts have been thrown, and not after each dart. If no sucessful double has been thrown, the rules of the tournament state nothing is scored.

I think.

[Rudy]

That would be my plea too Bradley, but someone here in Holland thought maybe once the first double has been succesfully hit, there's entry for scoring as long as it doesn't fall out before the second dart has hit the board.

Any further thoughts? Maybe Russ -if he takes a peek on here- can comment?

[Dazman]

I would say he get's no score. You usually have to retrieve your darts out of the board for a score to count in straightforward 501 games, so I don't see why it should be any different.

Of course, it would be unfortunate, but those are the rules I would imagine.

[King-Juffy-Jar]

Also think it would be a score of '0'

Nicholson Almost done it last night, his double tops dart started to look like it was falling out, he quickly chucked in two 20's and rushed to get it out, so im guessing he thought it would be a '0' as well.

Hi Rudy, I think that it would be a no score, the reason being that legal scoring only started due to dart 1 therefore if dart 1 falls out then all subsequent darts are illegal and scoreless

Rudy.

this is why i always set off with 3 doubles, cover yourself if one falls out

or maybe thats what i say i'm doing when i just throw 3 off the board

Rudy.

Interesting question Rudy and I too think that the score would probably be 0.

Another question for you all:-

When throwing nearest to the bull to decide on who throws first in a deciding leg - What happens if you throw a bounce-out.?

Do you get to throw it again, or is it just tough luck?

Cheers.

PDC rules - http://www.thedra.compsyswebdesign.com/ ... ONAUTH.pdf - see section 5.20

Tough luck I think.

Section 5.24 covers tie Break, and the same rules apply Dave. The player can throw again in the event of a bounce-out

You live and learn!!

[Chris Mason]

Player has to retrieve the dart for it to count.

[Paddy McGinty]

What would happen if a player checked out and won the match, the caller shouted out game, leg and match, the player turns round to shake the others hand and give him a big cuddle, then the winning double falls out before he retrieves the dart?

I think the ref calling "game shot" ends the leg.

I don't want guesses Bradley.....I can guess as well as the next man, I want cast iron fact.

[Ginge]

Aha, found this:

5.11.04 A Game Shot called by a Referee is valid only if the thrown darts;
(i) achieve the required finish and
(ii) remain in the dartboard until retrieved by the Player whose Throw it was at the time
of calling the Game Shot. A leg is not completed until all darts are retrieved from the
dartboard by the Player who has thrown.
