An even more dramatic comparison of score frequencies, between the 1983 BDO WC and the 2021 PDC WC, for a glimpse at how the game has evolved since the early days of TV darts.

Darts statistician Christopher Kempf investigated the most frequently thrown scores between the 1983 BDO and 2021 PDC World Darts Championship.
Besides the standard increasing, another interesting aspect emerged with players switching now more than ever.
During the BDO World Championship in 1983 in the early days of TV darts, 134 was scored 0.19% of the time. During the most recent PDC World Championship it was 2.77%.
Scores like 137, 99, 97, 96 and 93 have also gained a lot more popularity in a players mindset with for example in 1983, only 0.14% of the scores accounting for 93 points compared to 1.18% this past year.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
