UPDATE: Tuesday 23rd Feb 2010:

Following on from our previous post (see below), we are now able to announce the winners of the first Nonsense “That’s Darts” Darts Tournament – Mr Robbie Greatrex.

Needless to say, the night had it’s moments. The highlight was definitely a fairly ‘tipsy’ Will Savage losing every game putting him in the fight for 5th place against Nick and Ben, then somehow getting through the numbers (round-the-clock) and on to the bulls-eye. He then proceeded to take his final dart without looking, and of course, it went straight in leaving Ben in 6th place and Nick dead-last!

As for the top 4 players, they went on to play a series of games of round-the-clock for the trophy.

It was intense, however Robbie came through with the winning dart in the end (picture below) and will have the honour of holding the “That’s Darts” trophy until the next tournament as well as being allowed to use the yellow flights on his darts.

Oh, and Ben found the original theme tune from the old TV show Bullseye! Click here to listen to it!

ORIGINAL BLOG POST: Friday 19th Feb 2010:

When Robbie asked his Mum for a dart board for Christmas, no one could have ever predicted the sheer impact that that would have on the lives of everyone here at Nonsense HQ.

In the space of 3 weeks (since installation), it is safe to say that almost everyone at Nonsense HQ is officially hooked. What started as a few casual games of ’round-the-clock’ after hours, has turned into a competitive 1 hour (minimum) game most evenings.

This new addition to the office has resulted in people buying their own fancy 90% tungsten steel tipped pro darts, and (as expected when a bunch of creatives are given the chance to customise anything) we have now all ‘pimped them up’ with custom dimplex flights, re-grooved aluminium stems or colourful plastic shafts.

The fact that 4 of us grew up in the same small town of Deeping St James, home to current World darts champ Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams just inspires us further.

Organised via brand new sport organisation website Schport, tonight sees 8 men fight it out for the Nonsense “That’s Darts” trophy in the 1st Nonsense “That’s Darts” Darts Tournament!

Will Robbie win with his fancy 25 Gram Phil Taylor signature Unicorn’s, will Nick win with his 27 gram Harrows ‘Assassins’, will it be Ben who takes the trophy home with his 24 gram Harrows ‘Graflites’, will Rob’s Manchester United flights fly him to victory or will one of the underdogs come through with the bargain basement ‘Crafty Cockneys’?! Only time will tell.

Watch this space!
