My colleagues play darts more than they play bowling and I went with them today. This was my first time at darts, and I started out with a good chunk of beginner's luck, especially in the third game:

First game (8 sets count-up):

  19   4   2  OUT  50   15  14  17
T-13   4   5    5   3    1   9   1
 D-2 D-5  18  OUT  17 D-20  17  14
==================================
  62  80 105  110 180  236 276 308

Second game (counting down from 301):

   2  14   1 OUT
   2   2 T-5  20
   5   5   6   5
========================
 292 271 249 224 

Third game (8 sets count-up):

  17 D-BULL  20 BULL   4 T-15 OUT   1
 T-7     19   1 T-17 T-3  D-8   3  19
   9   BULL   3 T-13  13   13  15 OUT
=====================================
  47    166 190  348 374  454 472 492

Unfortunately, it went seriously downhill from there, with dismal performance in the next two team games of cricket (in which you have to hit specific combinations, which requires more target control than I could muster).
