Two Questions On Darts

[interele]

1. Is there any reason why you can't stand further away than the oche ?
2. Are there any rules re girls and heels ?

No

No

Prudie is right. But if you stand backwards you still cant put your stilettos over the oche

[-Talbot-]

There is no rule on men wearing heels either.

[aelmpvw]

i assume you could throw from twelve foot in stilettos but i don't think you'd win many games

[Prudie]

You're not allowed to throw your stilettoes either, men nor women

[Togo]

If you throw a hedgehog you can score 1080.

From the Darts Regulation Authority Rule Book.

5.25 Playing Attire:
5.25.01 Players are not permitted to wear jeans: neither shall they wear trousers or skirts made with denim or corduroy material which have been fashioned in a “jeans style”. No training shoes will be allowed unless the Player provides written medical reasons from a qualified practitioner. This restriction shall also apply to any form of “track suit” attire.

that Player’s Playing Attire shall be liable to forfeit that respective match and shall be reported to the Council of the DRA for disciplinary proceedings to be considered.

No jeans? I guess that's to ensure it retains its posh image

[douglas9401]

Now if they were to extend those rules to cover the (ahem) thirsty enthusiasts who spectate it would be a step forward.

[Togo]

No headgear. Blimey we wear crash helmets and goggles after a few pints of mild. Casualty is already overrun up here.
