Illegal Darts Throws During PDC Matches

jeez, gives you a head ache your whoosing effect to each new clip

Ok, so I carried on watching....you on the one hand say Cross' throw was illegal because he was no longer touching the raised oche (which you don't have to do) then you say it was because he was ahead of the oche (which is not allowed) ....that's what Mervyn was saying. You don't have to touch the oche.

You can be as far left or right of the board (ignore the raised oche) as long as you are behind the oche line which you have to mentally visualise when you go off to the left or right (it just makes it harder as the more angle you create the further you have to throw the dart). You can stand 100m right or left of the board if you want just as long as you are standing behind a line that is seven feet nine and a quarter inches (237cm / 2.37m) from the board.

And, Mervyn King has never won the world championship (BDO or PDC)

And, the raised oche is only a thing because if it was flat and just a piece of tape denoting the line, the markers would have to be watching the position of the leading foot of the thrower. Its a raised oche for convenience and fairness. You don't have to be touching it.

And, fyi, the different coloured carpeted area around the oche is the exclusion zone that the player collecting their darts can't enter when the opponent is setting up to throw.

why are u talking like that

It's not breaking the rules 2 gain an advantage I mean he threw it in anger like he didn't care it wasn't to cheat to win just in anger, I've done it in anger like yea who care I quit 😂😂😂

It shouldn't be a straight line but a semi-circle with a 237 cm radius.

The first bloke is a bit of a pratt isn't he

since when "starting to walk" has been illegal? it should be fine if the dart is released before your step hits the ground.

It leaves me with the question why is underarm illegal? I would expect it to be less accurate anyway therefore no advantage to throwing that way🤷‍♂️.

Best of nine legs and Dimitri was 5-3 leading. I stopped here. Impossible, match is over then

Horrible editing

props to the referees spotting these

Who the fck is ross pray?

The cross one is negligible. If you're that far over from the oche. The board is much farther from you than if you just stood at the raised platform. Also from the video it looks like he was basically in line with it. More whinging from a member of Taylor's pocket club Mervin King.

cross litteraly moves 30cm further away and hits an amazing double. mervyn mervyn xD

Most of this is you talking shit

He did what to double 19 😲😲😲

Nobody cares

Relax with the zoom transition holy shit

Why all the Drama for one Dart thrown in anger ? You Brits are Drama Queens lol!😂

It’s also stupid the oche is not wider. Or at least draw it on the floor ffs

The rule is stupid.Why shouldn’t you be able to throw underarm..

Wait a moment, why is Robb Cross being criticised for stepping far to the side of the oche? It’s a completely legitimate strategy in darts to move as far as you like as long as your foot isn’t in FRONT of the oche line! Phil Taylor did the same thing to win the World Matchplay with a 132 finish and it was hailed as the best dart ever thrown… also the oche being curved would make sense but I can see why they don’t do this as it would look a bit odd on the stage.

I feel like the dart Cross threw against King was extremely questionable

I don’t understand why is throwing a dart underarm illegal and what counts as underarm, is throwing the dart like a normal dart but your hand the other way around and underarm?

hoooooly shit i can't watch this.... 1 million transitions... my eyes hurt

Normal dart rules allow the underarm throw, as there are dart players who do throw underarm, PDC do have some odd rules

Good video.. but the many "ZOOM" transitions makes this very hard to watch... a simple dissolve will get you to the next scene without detracting from your video or the annoying the viewer... the human eye does not "ZOOM" during transitions.... Just my two cents..

The thumbnail with MVG on it is slightly deceptive.

Dont never comment on darts again, and everything else. You dont know shit about!! The line behinde the oche, goes to the end of the world!!

The other type of foul throw is being over the line - far more of an issue in lower league competitions.

Cross and King.................................... rather see them throw darts at each other to be honest. Not nice people. As for King.................. I recall a game he played in the BDo where he was getting slammed by an unseeded player and he demanded the oche was remeasured. He refused to play non and instead of the BDO making him forfeit the match, they suspended play and remeasured. The disruption lead to the unseeded player getting nervous and King winning. He was booed consistently at BDO matches for the rest of the season and left to go to the PDC. So as for alleged cheating, King is not a victim he is a culprit.

Rob Cross's throw against King was not an Illegal throw. Your foot does not have to be touching the Oche, you merely have to be behind the Oche line.

I wonder why the rules prohibit underarm throws. It seems like it would be harder to be accurate that way?

Should be irrelevant how you throw the dart as long as you throw it somehow.

Easy fix. Full contact darts.

ONCE AGAIN A IMAGE OF MVG BUT NOTHING ABOUT HIM IN THE VIDEO.

FAKE THUMBNAIL!!!!!
