Basically you just watched a perfect game and a near perfect game.

Imagine in baseball you watch both pitchers make it to the 9th inning on a perfect game but one blows it on the last out, but the other completes it.

If the first guy had hit it in nine would that have been the leg or would the other guy have had a chance to match to throw his 7-9 darts?

Wow, I never knew Darts was a spectator sport. And popular enough to cram hundreds of people into an arena.

80,000 people over 15 days of darts! Bucket list to attend one of these events!

One thing I've learned is that for ANY new thing you learn about, there are going to be some seriously obsessed people with that thing. It is also likely to be outrageously expensive at some levels.

Like, I know literally NOTHING about darts but I guarantee you there are sets of darts that cost thousands of dollars but probably "fly" (or whatever) just as well as cheaper sets.
