Good start. Back in the early '80's I played in a lot of Open dart tourneys. Open means anybody of any level can enter and play through the brackets. I think it was about 1982 when Leighton Rees, World Champion in 1978, was making the tourney swing through the southern US and he played in the $25K Shreveport stop. I came up against him in the third round. We were playing 301, best two of three. I threw out my ass the first game and beat him. A big local crowd gathered around pulling for me. Hadn't had enough to drink to calm those nerves. He never said a word and played the best games I had ever seen the next two. But, to this day I can say I beat a world champion ... at least once.
