IT WAS MY PARTNER'S FAULT!!  (I play in the Dallas Darts Association
Mixed Doubles B/A2 League.  Matches are nine games, 4 501s, 4 American
Killer Cricket and one more 501.  All games pit two couples against
each other.)

I would never leave a nine hanging!  B-)

One of the things I do when practising is pick odd numbers and
play an out from there.

I also practise double 1 a lot too!

The Swedish no.1 Magnus Caris did really well in World Masters.
He made to the semi by beating M Adams, England 3-2.
In the semi Magnus without any chance against a superb playing
Mike Gregory, England. Score 0-3.

The final stood between Dennis Priestley, England (current world no.1?)
and Mike Gregory. Mike started out as the better one. He even had 
a shot at the title at 2-1. But he missed and Dennis could move on to
take the title 3-2.

Got the info from BBCfax. If anyone got more statistics from World Master,
please post'em.

	I was wondering if anyone could answer one of my dart problems.
 I play at a local bar here in Athens, and the board is beginning to really 
 wear out. When all three darts have been thrown, one of the darts begins to 
 fall out. When is it that the dart does not count? Before it is marked, or 
 before the it is marked and when the dart has fallen. Please don't tell me 
 to go to a bar where there is a new dart board! Thank you.

I received some mail from people who were confused about the
scoring of this game.  I'll show a sample of game.

The object is to cross out all of the numbers below.  Your
score is the sum of the remaining numbers when you cannot
mark a score for your throw.  You mark a throw by crossing out
any combination of number(s) that add up to the dart score.

Start:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50

Throw a 19:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50
                                              X

Throw a T17:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50
X                                             X        X

Throw a 3:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50
X   X                                         X        X

Throw another 19:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50
X   X       X   X  X                          X        X

More throws...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 25 50
X X X       X X X  X     X     X  X     X  X  X  X  X  X

Now, I try to hit the 16, but I miss and hit 8.  Since there
are no remaining numbers that sum up to 8, I'm done.  My
score is:  4+5+6+11+13+16=55.

Hope this clears things up.  Please post any suggestions,
like a better name for the game than 'Dice'.

If you close out and your opponent has more points than you: 

   1.  Your opponent has closed out.  This means that your opponent should 
       have won upon closing out.  

   2.  Your opponent has not closed out.  This means that you must continue 
       to try to gain points by hitting the numbers that your opponent still
       has open.


Cricket as you describe is not a game that lends itself to play by more 
than 2 individuals.  You can use team play.  Here is a game that
can be played by up to 5 individuals.  

Cut Throat

First, divide 20 by the number of players.   Each player owns that many 
numbers by the following.

2 players   1 through 10 and 11 through 20
3 players   1 through 6, 7 through 12, and 13 through 18, 19 & 20 unused.
4 players   1 through 5, 6 through 10,.....
5 players   1 through 4, 5 through 8,....

The object is for each player to hit numbers that do not belong to him.
On the board, draw the numbers for each player.  As each number is hit, a 
stroke is made.  For the two player game, a number must be hit 6 times to be
out.  For the three player game, 9 times.  4 12 times and 5 15 times.  The
winner is the person with open numbers when all other players have closed
numbers.  A player is out when his numbers are closed.

The double counts two strokes and the triple counts three strokes.
The single bull allows the player to put two strokes anywhere on the board
and the double bull allows the player to put four strokes anywhere on the
board.  The bull strokes need not be put on one number.

 One more question. If the score is 60, does the full score count, or just
 the portion over 40? i.e., is it scored 19, 20 or 60?

Officialy, a dart counts when 
a) the referee says so. (i.e. as soon as he says ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!
   the darts count, even if one falls out after that.)
b) it stays in the board 3 seconds after all 3 darts have been thrown.
   (So, if the referee takes 5 seconds to yell the score, and the darts 
   fall out after 3 seconds, it still counts.)

Also, for a dart to count, the tip has to touch the board. So, cases in which
the dart falls out, lands on another dart and stays there or where one
dart sticks in the back-end of another dart (pretty 'robin-hood' ) are also
covered.

Alan,

	Sounds sort of like a variation of "Burma Road". Other folks might 
	call it "Half-It" or "Survival". The key is really, no matter what
	numbers or pie sections you agree to throw at, you have to hit at
	least 1 of them in that particular turn or otherwise divide your
	current score by 2 and round up the half-points. Score increments
	according to normal face-value of the number you are supposed to
	and do hit for any particular round. Last thing, it is sometimes
	played with each shooter starting off with a score of say, "40",
	just in case they miss that first number, maybe 20s, and still have
	a score that can be halved!!!  :-}   8-p   ;^)

Hi Coyote,
	A friend of mine has a 5lb Kevlar ex RAF helmet. 

	He has mounted the old circuit from a star cap in it. The triangular dome
is mounted on top of the helmet using a substance called "Milliput". I think this
is the brand name and should be available in DIY stores. Its like putty but sets
harder; its quite strong.

	I'll post the info. about the diodes on Monday. I haven't got the circuit
diagram with me and I won't trust doing it from memory incase I make a mistake
and destroy (hundreds of?) peoples sensors!

to all you who enjoy paintvball, or know someoe who does, I have ten
one-day passes, good for a year from purchase, for sale. I bought these
about three and one half weeks ago. They include the following:
		Full day play
		Pump gun rifle
		Face mask
		Loading equipment
		1 Constant air fill
A semi-automatic gun, CO2 cartridges, and paintballs are available at a
nominal extra cost. I thought I would be able to use them, but since I
will not be going to school in the New England area any more, I would like
to get rid of them. The sell for $25.00 a ticket, but I will sell them for
$40.00 for all ten. I got them as part of a deal, and just want to make up
some of my loss. e-mail for more info martimer@wpi.wpi.edu

This is it...all previous deals died because peole backed out..I am trying
to get rid of theses before Friday, casue I am not coming back. I will say
again, TI have ten one day passes to USI in Brockton, MA. Each pass
includes face mask, pump-rifle, all day play, 1 constant air fill. CO2,
paint balls, and semi-auto rifle a little extra. These ase good for a
year from purchase which was about 1month ago. They are stamped at
$25.00 each, and I am selling the whole lot of ten for $40.00. I have
played paintball back home, and this is an amazing bargain....The first
person, regardless of whom, gets it....please, serious offers....these
must sell!!
email offers to martimer@wpi.wpi.edu
