| Well, another great weekly challenge last week with Hatrick taking the honors again, well done sir  As Hat has picked the last 2 he has suggested someone else pick this weeks challenge, so as I had a good one in mind (and finished bottom last week  ) I will pick this weeks (hope no-one minds  ). Some of you may have heard of it, 'Bob's 29', developed by Bob Anderson in 1991, the rules are: Start the game with 29 points.
First 3 darts are thrown at double 1, any darts hitting double 1 are added to the score (2 doubles, add 4 points totaling 33).
If all 3 miss, then the value of said double is removed, leaving 27 points.
The procedure is repeated on double 2, double 3 and so on with the game ending on the centre bull.Now as I found when having a go at this, you can run out of points pretty quickly, if so, start again. So the challenge, lets see who gets the highest score after all the doubles and the center bull - or in my case, lets see who gets to the highest number before going below zero.  Leaderboard:WINNER: Hatrick...........435USMC80..........323, 383 Zappaluv.........314 Hamo.............239 Rebel...............93 Rumandcork..... d18CoryRoth.......... d12

| Think I scored this right, got 323 with double bull and double 2o hurting me. And d18 helping big. Got a little edgy in beginning but 2xd3 kept me going |

| 435 for me today thank god I had 2 bulls at the end.. Thats a very, very good score mac a lot of people can't even make it all the way around the board without getting down to 0!!! Keep it up and take it even higher..  |

| Thanks Hat. I'm determined to break 400 as I'm usually real good on 20's and bull (except for last time). Scores updated |

| No need to be bashful Rebel. I haven't gotten around yet either and I gave it a good 6 - 12 tries. |

| Finally got round, 1st attempt after tea (maybe 7 or 8 attempts last night), not the best score but one to build on:
93
It does seem to get easier once you get over 10, you just have to hit at least 1 double every 6 darts to stay alive.

| Only had time to try a couple of times this weekend. Made it up to 12 from 10. Those points disappear fast! The one thing I do see improving is my grouping. While I'm falling on either side of the double, my darts are no more than an inch a part two thirds of the time... |
