I don't know enough about darts to feel qualified to edit this page, but if there's any past editor watching the women's section needs updated https://www.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/12837134/fallon-sherrock-hits-first-nine-darter-by-a-woman-on-pdc-tour — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.244.100.102 (talk) 20:05, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Live Streaming

Does the list of televised 9 dart finishes include 9 dart finishes that happened in tournaments that were streamed live? by (Perfectamundo (talk) 19:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)perfectamundo)[reply]

No. -Koppapa (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say a big thanks to whoever dug out the videos of those 9-darters! Good work.

What about 3xT20, 3xT19, 3xBull?!? Wouldn't this be the hardest/most perfect ever?78.146.124.77 (talk) 12:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is seemingly conflicting information in this article; a) The first televised nine dart finish was achieved at the World Matchplay championship on October 13, 1984 by John Lowe. b) Phil Taylor ... August 1, 2002 ... It was the first live-televised nine-dart finish on British television. c) Contrary to popular belief, Shaun Greatbatch hit the first ever nine-dart finish during a live televised darts match ... which was broadcasted on Dutch television

a) and b) could both be correct if the distinction is that a) was the first to be recorded and shown on television and b) was the first shown live. c) is presumably incorrect or meant to be specific to the Netherlands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.136.212 (talk) 09:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel Words Cleanup

I have begun removing weasel words in the category Methods of Achievement but further work is neccessary. Any help is appreciated. ozkidzez91 (talk) 10:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good idea. To me, this section looks like original research - there are no sources given for any of it. It may be correct, but if it hasn't been published anywhere... --hippo43 (talk) 00:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

T20, T19, Bull (X3).

I vaguely recall a televised interview where Bobby George claimed to have 'invented' this method of checking out in 9. Does anyone else remember this? I can't find a reference.--Ykraps (talk) 08:28, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone ever done this 9-darter? AMCKen (talk) 19:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

non-TV darters

It should be noted that those 9-darters happen often in training by many professionals. i think taylor said once he hits them on a daily basis. big non-televised floor tournaments often have them too. they are "rarer" on tv because there are not that much tv-tournaments, especially 10 years ago. -Koppapa (talk) 06:30, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Game not sport

I think that we should call dart a game, not a sport. For starters, it is not recognized as an olympic sport. It is also called a game in the darts page. Should it be changed? If we get consensus, then I will change it. RileyBugz^{Yell at me} | _Edits 21:58, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Norris 9-darter

I disagree that the Alan Norris 9-darter in the 2016 Players Championship Finals should be included in a list of televised nine darters. What makes the others on the list notable is that they were broadcast as a part of matches that were being televised in their entirety. The Norris 9 is the only one that was televised only as a 'highlight' of a match which couldn't be seen otherwise. I believe that the list should only include 9-darters that were a part of televised matches.

It seems to me that including the Norris 9 would also mandate that a 9-darter, even if completed in practice or in a local tournament, would merit inclusion in the list simply by virtue of having been filmed and later shown on TV. If a streamed 9-dart finish from a PDC floor event (e.g. MvG's on the Euro Tour earlier this year) was later rebroadcast on TV as a highlight of that tournament, would it be included in this list?

Yeah, it probably shouldn't be in here. -Koppapa (talk) 11:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll remove it if no one objects. -Ochepedia (talk) 19:50, 03 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Women's nine-darters - strange date

in section "Women's nine-darters", please change the date of 31 November 1995 in the second sentence :-) I don't know when that tournament took place, some dart fan will surely be able to contribute the right date. --BernieM (talk) 15:08, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bullseye & double

"A single game of darts (known as a leg) requires a player to score exactly 501 points, ending with either the bullseye or a double." - the bullseye is a double, isn't it? --KnightMove (talk) 07:08, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The inner bullseye (worth 50 pints) counts as a double, yes. Whether it actually is a double is debatable. In any event, I don't think any of this is particularly well known outside darting circles so I think the sentence is better left as it is. --Ykraps (talk) 08:05, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MODUS Super Series Nine-Darters

I see multiple sources where they consider the MODUS Super Series Nine-Darters as televised nines; none of them are considered for this article.

The MODUS Super Series event is broadcast on television through Sporty Stuff TV, but would this be eligible for the criteria as, according to Mastercaller, all the MODUS nine-darters are not considered televised nines but instead streamed ones? Should these nine-darters be added as well? or do they not fit the actual criteria for a televised nine?

These nines would add Conor Heneghan, Darryl Pilgrim, Steve West, Fallon Sherrock, etc.

Kind regards, GalacticalCosmics (talk) 16:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't consider it televised. Some nines that were in fact in TV, are not considered televised, even those that were on stage, like Chisnall on Belgian Darts Open 2022. Since always televised nines were those on big stage and bigger channels.

Sky claims and will claim her nine is televised, only because she's their mascot. But I wouldn't introduce inconsistency here just because of them. Haifisch7734 (talk) 06:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If reliable sources say it was on television, we go with the reliable sources. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 11:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But it wasn't on television!

It may be 'visually recorded' - but that isn't 'television'. Woodlandscaley (talk) 14:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
