Darts Database is your friend http://www.teessidesoftware.no-ip.com/D ... Stats.aspx I chose the dates from 15/01/1990 - 15/01/2009 and out of all darts players on averages that have been recorded, Phil Taylor is the only player to be over 100 on average. His win percentage at 91.51% is also truly unbelievable.

Not really Wades fault though, it was not like he was missing chances, just Taylor raised his game even more and finished the job. That final dart to win that match is seriously the best dart i have ever seen thrown

truth lies somewhere in between, Wade certainly was not playing like he was for the first 18 legs.

Pah i've thrown better bulls than that!

Darts is split into two isnt it? Like Smackdown & RAW? Did they have an auction for the players and everything?

Oh and the Lakeside final was truly awesomeness!

Yes there split. Basically all the big names in the game at the time when they split around 13 years ago (Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow, Dennis Priestly etc etc) and all complained to the BDO represetatives that there was not enough money in darts due to a lack of sponsership. They offered to help them find the sponsership to boost prize funds etc and make darts worthwhile. The BDO represetative point black refused therefore the big names helped create a new brand of darts (with the help of barry hearn) which is know as the PDC (obviously the SKY version of darts). Thats why you find that the bigger names in the BDO move over to the PDC purely because there is far more money involved. Terry Jenkis only turned pro around 2003 because before hand there was not enough money involved to make it worthwhile. Darts has really taken off over the last 5-6 years and its ALL down to the PDC in my honest opinion. Though you do get some good matches with the BDO in the world championships
