Over the years, mathematicians have tried different numbering sequences to make the dartboard even more balanced. Several mathematicians have proposed new sequences, but the traditional layout remains the standard. Who Is Brian Gamlin? Indoor League was a Yorkshire TV daytime TV program featured pub games played across the UK: Darts, Table Skittles, Ally Skittle, Bar Billiards, Pool, Table Football, Shove Ha'penny and Arm Wrestling! A commonly asked question is what distance should ladies throw from. Well basically BDO World Championship ladies throwing distance is the same as the men's, 7' 9 ¼” (2.37m). But many leagues around the UK have different throwing distances for ladies. The most common distances other than 7' 9 ¼”, is 7' 6"& 7' 0". Other distances for men include 8' 0"& 8' 6" but this is now uncommon. Other Dartboard Set-ups The most commonly espoused theory is that it was invented by a Brian Gamlin, a 44 year old carpenter during the 1930's the number of Dart playing pubs trebled over the next two years where it seemed to

Throwing distances and heights have varied over the years and today different leagues still use different measurements. I have listed below the standard measurements used. However I am sure others will say we play from x distance different from what I have stated. I know some ladies leagues do use shorter throwing distances but this is not true for official competition i.e. WDF,BDO competitions. Paperboards don’t last and in a short period of time they will be heading for the bin however they do have their place as the starter dartboard for the next budding World Champion. Darts cannot be re-thrown this includes darts that miss the board and darts that bounce of the board wiring system. Only darts that have their points touching the scoring area of board score.

A player may be told, if he asks, what number they scored, or what number he requires for the game, by the score announcer, but not how to get it. When it comes to dart research, I have found that not all you read is true. It is not the case the writer has deliberately gone out of their way to deceive more to the fact that they gain their information from what they may believe to be a trusted source, i.e. They may have first-hand experience or indeed local rules they may have played. Lincolnshire, like all counties in the UK, hold onto tradition as this make their identity and although the traditional Lincoln dartboard may not be readily available, it is not true that the Lincoln board has reduced in size as some might have you believe.

Palgrave Macmillan Journals. 42 (2): 113–118. doi: 10.2307/2583175. JSTOR 2583175.When throwing for the bull, if the first thrower hits the centre bull or outer bull the dart is usually removed before the second player throws. If the second player hits the same as the first player then the bulling-up procedure starts again. If the first player's dart does not hit either the centre bull or outer bull then the dart remains in the board until the second player throws. If the first player's dart is obstructing the bull the second player may request the marker/referee to straighten the dart. (See local rules) Quality dartboards are still made of sisal fibres from Eastern Africa, Brazil, and China; less expensive boards are sometimes made of cork or coiled paper.

Further, the first record of the numbering sequence anywhere English game of Darts is French! Yes, the darts used at the newfangled fairground attraction of Dart When beginning my general research in the early 1980s the answer to the question appeared to almost certainly be Brian Gamlin, a 44-year-old journeyman carpenter allegedly from Bury, Lancashire, who, according to Dave Lanning in Leighton Rees – On Darts (1979), invented the numbering in 1896 ‘with the help of three other people’ but died in 1903 ‘before he could patent the idea.’ From then on the story became embellished by author after author and so, like many others, I began to believe it, so I set out on a serious search for Gamlin. The result? By the early 1990s I had found no contemporary mention of him anywhere. Newspapers were bereft of any primary data and even Dave Lanning admitted that his source had been the ‘Old Codgers’ column in a 70s issue of the Daily Mirror. Eventually I wrote the whole thing off as a carefully constructed figment of someone’s imagination. But if Gamlin wasn’t responsible then who was?
