smiths average was high because he didn’t throw any darts at double so that means less darts thrown. so your average will always be high then

[@Numnutz]

@@harveyvalter3250 yep, you can even lose with a higher average than your opponent for example if your opponent throws first and gets a 9 darter thats an average of 167, if you get 180s on both of your turns that's obviously a 180 average for that leg but you still lost because you didn't get to throw at double works for longer legs and matches as well, but is easier to explain with less darts for obvious reasons

The super thoritical max average is 167(501/3) if all the set finished with 9 darts. So the 136 is really high(until he fail to 123.4) the 136 means you finished the game in 11 darts(136.63) (7:16) and th 123 mean to slighly down from 12 darts(125.25). (12,18 shots) ok you lose some match, from high average too.

[@abanjoplayer]

the theoretical max. average would be scoring a 9 darter on your throw, and the other person scoring a 9 darter on theirs while you score 180s on both of your visits in your losing leg. So after 2 legs, the highest possible average would be (501 + 360)/5, which is 172.2. This max. average over an entire match would change a little depending on the format, but the perfect average would be around this mark EDITed because I did the maths wrong lol

[@TomPsP11]

In a best of 5 legs format: Opponent throws 9-darter, you throw 2x 180 You throw 180-180-142, opponent throws 9-darter Opponent throws 9-darter, you throw 2x 180. You lose 3-0 but with the highest average possible. (6x180)+142 = 1222 1222/7= 174,57

[@kentjohansson6937]

@Tom vhD You need to adjust your math a little bit, if you throw 142 when your on 141 it counts as 0 but still counts as 3 darts Your better off making 139 then 360+499+360 = 1219 points in 7 throws => 174,14 average

Hmmm. Australian ace Kyle Anderson recorded the highest ever average in darting history yesterday, in the fifth Players Championship event in Barnsley. Anderson despatched Terry Jenkins 6-1 courtesy of an astonishing 134.84 average, where he used just 77 darts to secure victory! Anderson’s winning legs consisted of three 10 darters, as well as an 11, 12 and 15 darter. The 27-year-old, from Perth, was even sat on 46 after 9 darts in the solitary leg that Jenkins won. The news of the earth-shattering performance only filtered through on Sunday evening, as one of the official Pro Tour markers, tweeted to confirm Anderson’s record-breaking achievement. This usurps the previous record over this format, set by Gary Anderson against Aaron Monk in 2011. The Flying Scotsman averaged 133.35 in a 6-1 demolition of the former World Youth Champion. Michael Smith boasts an incredible 132.50 average posted on the PDC Youth Tour against Michael van Gerwen, but that was only achieved over three legs. This also completely obliterates the highest ever televised average of 118.66, set by Phil Taylor in a brutal 9-0 rout of Kevin Painter in the 2011 UK Open.

But this is still the record televised average. Wright's 123.5 wasn't on TV, it was on an internet stream in a floor tournament with no crowd. And Wright's is the best on camera, but not the best in the PDC. There have been a few higher averages in floor tournaments away from the cameras.
