I am a fan of Sun Tzu - author of the book "The Art of War". If by chance I recommend that you read this book and try to master it.
Let me justify this topic that I will be sharing with you with Sun Tzu's famous quotation.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
With this I will be sharing with you things that a bad player does to ruin your game. This is for the purpose of helping you condition yourself and your mind well as you go to a tournament.
Please do not do this to ruin other people's game. Be a NUTZ in Darts.
Here goes this topic about. . .Unsavoury Tactics:
It's an unfortunate thing, but you may run into a player or two who try to throw you off of your game by engaging in some of the following behaviours:
Standing near an opponent and rattling the darts in their hand.
Standing behind an opponent and mumbling "26, 26, 26" after they've just hit 26 points.
Taking their time going to and walking away from the board because they've noticed that you have a fairly quick pace to your rhythm.
Bending the wires on the board or slightly tilting the board while removing their darts.
Saying things like "great dart" or "wow, another triple" after you throw each dart.
Turning to look at you after they've had a good throw.
Squeeze your throwing hand tightly during a handshake or fist-bumping your throwing hard harder than need be.
The list goes on but we're sure that you get the idea.
Now, and depending on how much you care, there are a few things you can do. Accusing someone of cheating without proof is never a good plan, but if you find someone's behaviour to be distracting, you can always politely ask them to stop. If the board seems crooked after that player has just taken his darts out, politely ask the chalker if the board looks straight or not. If he's taking his time because you like to play quickly, stand well back and don't hurry to get to the line when he's done. You can also avoid the whole handshake problem by simply fist-bumping with your non-throwing hand.
Some people call it "gamesmanship" and some call it "poor form". Whichever way you choose to view it, be prepared for it and, more importantly, be prepared how to react to it.
====================
Okay, your turn to cite some bad strategies or tactics that some players do during games. Awareness to this is part of the preparations that we have to do as we enter the dart tournament arena.
Show us those bad manners you've seen!!!
