I'm convinced this video was made with chat GPT

[@YoyoF37]

Lmao yeah it's weird

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

Rob Cross's throw against King was not an Illegal throw. Your foot does not have to be touching the Oche, you merely have to be behind the Oche line.

[@Ml-zq3gg]

Another point... a cross line is longer in distance than a straight line.

[@emtech7457]

+ hitting D16 from that position he was in, is 10x harder than if you´d stand in front of the oche, everyone knows that, if not try it yourself

[@WilliamReginaldLucas]

Wait a moment, why is Robb Cross being criticised for stepping far to the side of the oche? It’s a completely legitimate strategy in darts to move as far as you like as long as your foot isn’t in FRONT of the oche line! Phil Taylor did the same thing to win the World Matchplay with a 132 finish and it was hailed as the best dart ever thrown… also the oche being curved would make sense but I can see why they don’t do this as it would look a bit odd on the stage.

[@milangaming180]

Why you did micheal van Gerwen on Vincent van den voort you can see it

[@DiogoAmorim1983]

😮 I understand most of them but that throw at 3:24 from Rob Cross come on...

[@southerneruk]

Normal dart rules allow the underarm throw, as there are dart players who do throw underarm, PDC do have some odd rules

@@Bullseyesbeat1 yeah if this dude can, anyone can really. annoying as fuck

[@benjaminwirtherle7797]

You are allowed to move past the oche. You need to extend the oche in your mind and stay behind it. It is not clear to see if cross was a bit to far towards the board

[@Iris_and_or_George]

1:55 "with his next dart" then we watch him miss the next dart😂😅 ty for video!

[@Bob-ts2tu]

i've played darts for many years and never knew an underarm throw was illegal, i thought the only illegal throw was if you are in front of the oche, and in the 1000's of pub league matches ive played in you see guys toe's over the line on the mat all the time without being pulled up lol, as well as chucking one underarm to make sure they bust back to a double. you live n learn :)

[@setscet]

I guess that's why you have raised oches lol. I'd thin being slightly closer would throw me off tbh

[@scotts78]

5:16 - King has never won a world championship

[@mvemst]

Phil Taylor deed het ook tegen James Wade. Phil ging voor de bull en moest ook helemaal opschuiven en daar werd nooit over gezeurd dus ik snap nu ook niet.

[@cori398]

7:25 Dimi looks about 50 then but 15 now 😂

[@slavicprincess]

6:38 James Wade literally does that every single time he gets frustrated, never seen him get called out

[@expl0d3x89]

There isn't no rule on having your foot against the oche when throwing - agreed Cross may of been in front of the oche - but you've got to remember, him throwing from that angle will probably mean he's throwing from further away.... Rules of Trigonometry

[@artrezz5795]

got that same mindset m8 as ive had multiple times happening it was farther away so i adjusted the throw higher to hit the target

[@madmorrow7301]

wow so many mistakes and misinformation in 1 video ^^ king never won the worlds and it is perfectly fine not to touch the oche while throwing. the subtitles are total sonsense... 7:41 that's a single 7... 7:48 who is "Kerrick" Bevins xD

[@jimconnop3220]

If there is a distance from the centre of the bull to the oche, 2.93 metres. That tells me that an arc can be formed on the ground to create an oche.

[@BeasleyStreet]

My thoughts for a long time...

[@Tomtraubert2009]

no, this is not basketball.

[@doppelplusungutmensch1141]

Imagine being the writer in a local tournament only consisting of amateur players calling a game of two amateur opponents, one of them throwing underhand at some point. I wouldn't even dare to deny that throw. People would complain to me that I take it way too serious so I'd let it go, even though I knew it was against the rules.

[@hcgreier6037]

07:40 Triple 7?? No way, this was just a single 7

[@GamezGuru1]

not only did he hit single 7, he wasn't aiming for D16 - he was hoping to bust after hitting single 11. so whilst the score should have indeed been 18 (therefore bust), he was only given the 11, which left him with 5...

[@bjornhouet1]

Merwyn king never became world champion

[@poly_hexamethyl]

I wonder why the rules prohibit underarm throws. It seems like it would be harder to be accurate that way?

[@zbigniewczaykowski514]

For sure it's harder to be accurate as you're not throwing in front of your eye line. There's no technical or in game advantage to be gained. The only reason i can think of is that it looks unprofessional and makes fun of the game by making it look silly on TV.

[@southerneruk]

Its just an odd rule from the PDC, there are loads of underarm throw dart players, pubs rules say throw, PDC says to aim

[@renatoherren4217]

I think it's a savety issue. If you release your dart too late in a normal throw, you hit the ground. But if you release it too late with an underarm throw, you may hit one of the referees. It may seem very unlikely to miss a throw like that, but considering that it was an unaimed throw out of frustration, the risk was too high. Taking that risk is very disrespectful to the referees, even if it's very low.

[@n0xure]

Most likely to enforce strict discipline because a dart is technically a weapon. You have to draw the line *before* throwing the dart into the ceiling or the referee.

[@philthycat1408]

My old Dad always played darts throwing underarm .

[@Buzzloveslife14]

Karick Bevans!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@boomfaoce]

I feel like the dart Cross threw against King was extremely questionable

[@lordfarquard9902]

What’s an ockey?

[@uberempty]

theres so much better dart content in the world to focus on such petty non-issues. i wish i could get the 3 minutes i watched back in my life

[@draakmanz]

cross litteraly moves 30cm further away and hits an amazing double. mervyn mervyn xD

[@scoobatronixscoobatronix2839]

It leaves me with the question why is underarm illegal? I would expect it to be less accurate anyway therefore no advantage to throwing that way🤷‍♂️.

[@Tomtraubert2009]

less control, normally happens when angry or frustrated and is therefore dangerous for the caller.

[@Tomtraubert2009]

The other type of foul throw is being over the line - far more of an issue in lower league competitions.

[@Tomtraubert2009]

Caption has Alan Morris. fs.

[@stardustie]

since when "starting to walk" has been illegal? it should be fine if the dart is released before your step hits the ground.

[@mobiusklein9140]

It shouldn't be a straight line but a semi-circle with a 237 cm radius.

[@MarcusHulstrom]

What year did king become world champion? Just out of curiosity???

In 2004, he claimed his first BDO major title when he won the World Masters in Bridlington, defeating Tony O'Shea 7-6 in the final.

why is underhand throw illegal ? a specific reason in the rules or you just can't ?

You also dont have to throw it, just walk up to the board and collect the two darts

[@5RustyBin]

props to the referees spotting these

[@LVVideoGuy]

Good video.. but the many "ZOOM" transitions makes this very hard to watch... a simple dissolve will get you to the next scene without detracting from your video or the annoying the viewer... the human eye does not "ZOOM" during transitions.... Just my two cents..

[@alexhughes6910]

I don’t understand why is throwing a dart underarm illegal and what counts as underarm, is throwing the dart like a normal dart but your hand the other way around and underarm?

[@mikemedusa]

Relax with the zoom transition holy shit

Best of nine legs and Dimitri was 5-3 leading. I stopped here. Impossible, match is over then

they meant first to 9 legs, but agree. Hard to watch this. I watched the whole thing and won't be watching any more from this channel.

[@jackramsay2267]

How could 1:23 be a best of 9 legs when dimitri was leading 5-3 and it clearly says best of 11

There was nothing illegal about Gerwyn Prices throw it was just a mistake from Gezzy thinking it was his throw

[@walkabout16]

In the arena where darts do fly, Underneath the bright and watchful sky, A tale unfolds of deception sly, Illegal throws that make hearts sigh. In the heat of battle, fierce and bold, Where champions' stories are often told, Some seek advantage, their grip controlled, By tricks and cheats, their integrity sold. Illegal darts, a stain profound, In the sacred arena where honor's found, A shadow cast on the hallowed ground, As fair play wanes, and trust is drowned. But in the midst of darkness deep, True sportsmanship shall always keep, Its flame alight, its vigil steep, As justice wakes from its slumbering sleep. For in the end, it's not the cheat, Whose name resounds, whose tale is sweet, But those who play with hearts complete, Their darts fly true, their victories meet. So let us banish deceit's cruel art, And let fair play reign in every part, For in the realm of the darting chart, Only integrity shall never depart.

[@ehrenh4nt3r]

cross was in the right

[@doghouseriley4732]

Cross and King.................................... rather see them throw darts at each other to be honest. Not nice people. As for King.................. I recall a game he played in the BDo where he was getting slammed by an unseeded player and he demanded the oche was remeasured. He refused to play non and instead of the BDO making him forfeit the match, they suspended play and remeasured. The disruption lead to the unseeded player getting nervous and King winning. He was booed consistently at BDO matches for the rest of the season and left to go to the PDC. So as for alleged cheating, King is not a victim he is a culprit.

[@zosterinski]

It’s also stupid the oche is not wider. Or at least draw it on the floor ffs

[@NauticalStrings]

He is touching the oche.

[@leejy2]

why is underarm throw illegal? do you get any additional benefit over other players?

[@Steve99St]

I guess it is dangerous for the markers and caller as the player has less control over the dart when throwing under arm, thus it is forbidden

[@claphands-pr2vt]

It isn't illegal this guy's a melt

[@Tomtraubert2009]

Well if it's not illegal why are underarm throws never counted?@@claphands-pr2vt

[@abcdefghijorrell9580]

2:15 what did he do

[@cathalk3903]

The cross one is negligible. If you're that far over from the oche. The board is much farther from you than if you just stood at the raised platform. Also from the video it looks like he was basically in line with it. More whinging from a member of Taylor's pocket club Mervin King.

[@terranceparsons5185]

The first bloke is a bit of a pratt isn't he

[@AJs255]

It's not breaking the rules 2 gain an advantage I mean he threw it in anger like he didn't care it wasn't to cheat to win just in anger, I've done it in anger like yea who care I quit 😂😂😂

[@Tomtraubert2009]

Ok, so I carried on watching....you on the one hand say Cross' throw was illegal because he was no longer touching the raised oche (which you don't have to do) then you say it was because he was ahead of the oche (which is not allowed) ....that's what Mervyn was saying. You don't have to touch the oche. You can be as far left or right of the board (ignore the raised oche) as long as you are behind the oche line which you have to mentally visualise when you go off to the left or right (it just makes it harder as the more angle you create the further you have to throw the dart). You can stand 100m right or left of the board if you want just as long as you are standing behind a line that is seven feet nine and a quarter inches (237cm / 2.37m) from the board. And, Mervyn King has never won the world championship (BDO or PDC) And, the raised oche is only a thing because if it was flat and just a piece of tape denoting the line, the markers would have to be watching the position of the leading foot of the thrower. Its a raised oche for convenience and fairness. You don't have to be touching it. And, fyi, the different coloured carpeted area around the oche is the exclusion zone that the player collecting their darts can't enter when the opponent is setting up to throw.
