Amazing. Very best of luck to them. Its for great causes.
With 8 throwing it amounts to 125,000 each or 250 games of 501
Ouch my arm :eek::eek:

thats a great idea, funny enough that american team finished with an average of 82. That NI team is well capable of beating it. Considering you spend so long throwing for scores. I reckon they'll do it in 35,300 or there abouts and beat the record by 1000 darts.

vindaloo1 · 18-08-2010 09:00AM

35600, I am assuming they keep going non-stop so wont maintain high scoring throughout.

Gurney really is a class act, as is Jackson. back to back 180's there and they've put a full point back on the average along with McBrearty and Mansell which is hard done after 22000 darts have being averaged in before hand.

Thats a great guess haha, only out by 98 darts.

Fair play to them. When i did the calculations to see that the original record was an average of 82 i was a bit surprised though i'll admit.

Did they have to finish on a double? Imagine if it was one of those time you just couldn't hit it!:D

They would have had to miss a thousand darts at a double!
Even I'm not that bad:D
