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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
