Darts? Not really a Sport is it?

How about disability sport, particularly those in wheelchairs

Because disability sport is an adaptation of an able bodied sport I think the theory can be waived, unless you can think of a disability sport that isn't derived from an able bodied equivalent?

I could challenge you JackG( so long as we trust each other) to a game of darts.
Right now. relaying the score big FMTTM as we go. And neither of our tactics would change.
We could invite another player or players, and there tactics( and ours would not change)
what other " sport" could you do that with??

If you did that on this board, I am sure someone would get an eight dart finish. I wonder if that is possible when wearing a different pair of shoes :)

A player will take into account the perceived quality of opponent when approaching the 'checkout' stage, so darts does have a tactical element. There are safer and riskier strategies and a player's choices will depend on the state of the game and the expected behaviour of their opponent. Admittedly, we're not planning the D-Day landings, but it's still both strategic and tactical.
 
C'mon , really?? Weighing up the strategy on a 301 finish? Come on don't be silly...
Seriously though, where two ( or more) compete against each other AND the elements then these are sports e.g. Golf.
 
It’s the same as crisps and pork scratchings, summat to do while you’re drinking lager. Just some blokes have conned their wives it’s a sport so they can go out more and drink more lager. The truth hidden in plain sight.
