	The History of the Dart board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The sport of darts is unique in several ways: the equipment required to play is reasonably inexpensive, a relatively small amount of space is required to play, and special clothing is not required.
		The dart itself became more or less standardized as the practice of throwing "missiles" at targets became a general pastime -- the barrel was typically a piece of wood about 4 inches long with a metal point stuck in one end and feathers on the other.
		The American Darts Organization was formed in 1976 under the guidance of Tom Fleetwood, and is the only governing body of darts in the United States recognized by the WDF (1977).

		In Darts, this means that if the dart is to strike the board at a level attitude (nearly always the best), it should be held and thrown from a position as close to level as is possible.
		Most darts flights are not shaped to properly induce spin, and the darts actually fly for too short a distance (about 5 feet) for aerodynamic spin to be a stabilizing factor anyway.
		Spinning the dart is often done inadvertently, and is a symptom of uneven release.
