Even 3 minutes faster than last year's record  

 

 

I can only imagine that non-darts fans on here in countries where darts is not traditionally popular are probably reading this thinking, "what is wrong with you people, what's so interesting about darts?". If only they knew

Yep

 

Well here it only got popular thanks to Van Barneveld's success halfway through the 90's, I remember my dad videotaped his 1st or 2nd Embassy win and in the year after that I asked like a million times to watch that again because I thought it was so awesome how he hit that double 16 and then threw his last dart in the air

For Latvia, Hong Kong, Japan or Poland or something at least I could say "well they have one sort of decent player", but I honestly can't name one Bulgarian darts player and yet you watch darts, that's just really cool

Because there aren't any darts players.  No really, our best player is also the president of the darts federation and also the tv commentator for the tournaments shown on TV.  I think he has had some minor wins on some low-level WDF tourneys.

What's his name? Let's see if he's on Darts Database  

 

Well, it has to start somewhere, if it's shown on TV on occassion, one might imagine there's a few young people here and there playing it, maybe one day one of them turns out to be quite talented

Have you ever played darts? And by played I mean thrown darts at a dartboard, nothing too serious

Of course, we have does here.  Very fun and good at the throwing (for an amateur), not very good at the calculating the points.
