The game of Darts has moved out of the smokey bars & pubs into the world of TV. There is a certain protocol involved i.e. no over-celebrating, etc. but this is not the only offense frowned upon.
One world champion was accused last month of passing gas so pungent it threw an opponent off his game - an offense dubbed "fartgate". But the offender turned the blame on his opponent proclaiming "he who smelt it - dealt it". And they assured us the "game" had graduated out of the smoky pubs. What were they serving as bar food?

BBC America carries championship matches in large auditoriums. Definitely out of the pubs. Those guys don't miss.
