The very first W.D.C tournament at "The Talk" nightclub Norwich October 1992. This event used the equal darts rule. First round action. Great last leg.
Alot of matches in this tourney were decided by someone winning a half a leg it was a great equalizer for someone who is a great finisher but not a great scorer hence why Gregory won the tourney awesome finisher in his day
The Equal Darts rule is as follows and makes a real advantage to shooting 2nd in a leg if you can finish your leg in an equal darts as your opponent you split the leg so you each get a half so if you shoot a 15 darter and i shoot one as well we both get a half but if i miss and didnt finish in the 15 darts you get the whole leg added to your total for the match.
Its a great equalizer too bad you dont see it these days would make some of the newer stuff more exciting
@tmac901819 They should definitely resurrrect the rule for one tourney at least. Great seeing strategy added to the tension.
