if in a slump would you turn to gamemanship to get you out off it?

do you have a bogey plyer in your league were you try new things to beat him ?

do you need be hardfaced to do it or as there no rules against it u sleep well at night ?

as game darts is said to be a game of bully is gamemanship over looked ?

your thought please.

things tried flicking flights , dropping of darts , baracking, slowing up , walking in line of throw ect.

When I'm playing me brother for practise we do the lot, cough, burp, fart, flick flights etc
In a match or playing a friendly against someone I am less familiar with, no I wouldn't, seen the trouble it can cause first hand, however there are some players in the league, well quite a few actually, who will try every trick in the book - which is why me and me brother try the lot in practise, you learn, not so much to block it out, but you are able to ignore it as it becomes the norm after a while.
I never notice my opponent trying to put me off but am sometimes asked afterwards 'did him doing this and that not put you off?' - so obviously purposely doing it in practise with a good friend or in my case me brother really does help you ignore it, and this in turn annoys the opponent who is trying to put you off thus more likely putting them off in the process Very Happy

I never do it as a rule. I always play the board not the player and take very little notice of what my opponent does on the oche. To be fair it's normally the chalker or shouter that I have to tell to stop rubber necking when I'm still throwing or the chalker is tapping or twirling the pen/chalk. If this happens I just ask them politely to stop and generally they do as they don't realize they are doing it. I am lucky to be a slow player anyway so it's hard for an opponent to speed me up whereas it's easier to slow a fast player down. I personally don't think there is much wrong in doing it but if you are told to stop it by the player then I feel if you don't you are deemed as a cheat but if the player just ignores you then get on with it as it clearly doesn't bother him. To resort to those tactics must mean the person is not confident in their natural ability to beat the other person and I would imagine they know this to be true too.
I had a team put on some System of a Down when I was due to play my game and being a rock man myself just sang along with it which peed them off even more they would have been better trying Kylie lol.
