    Don't think it was ever really popular with the American audience. Remember watching it and there wouldn't be many people there at all.

    Probably didn't help that it was broadcast at like 11am over there for the British audience.

    That soft tipped electronic crap seems to be bigger stateside than regular darts.

    I think one of the problems was that it was held at lunchtime in Vegas so it would be on around 8pm in the UK, this meant that primarily the crowds going to the games were UK tourists either already out there or those who decided to head to Vegas to watch the darts. There was very little US crowds at the event and it moved too smaller venues.
