Darts

As a simple TV viewer of Darts, I would like to ask three simple questions.

1. What makes Darts so special as a sport that it deserves TWO seperate World Championships?

2. What, other than money, puts players in one World Championship rather than another.

3. Does the winner of one World Championship play the winner of the other World Championship for the title of 'Undisputed World Champion'?

And if not, why not?

It has to be one of the most farcical aspects of the Christmas/New Year TV viewing season, watching one world championship to a conclusion, then starting immediately on another.

For me they may as well be tranquillizer darts. Playing's one thing but watching, no thanks.

Re: Darts

As one Darts World Championship finishes, another starts.

The BBC has got this one, and did a major splash on it this morning on Breakfast TV.

Not once did they mention the other World Championship.

Complete, total and utter insult to our intelligence.
