Darts World Championship averages rise 20 in 30 years…
For over 30 years the Lakeside 2001 World Championship yielded the best last 32 averages ever seen.
This was only eclipsed in the 2009 PDC World Championships, and has been since in 2010, 2011 and 2012
The moral of the story: If you can’t throw 15 darts every time you step up to the oche you may as well pack up and go home.
