Live Blogging Live Scoring

OK, so the truth is that this isn't "live blogged".  The first night of live scoring can unequivocally go down as a moderate to neutral pseudo-success.   The "live-scoring" piece went OK, although it was tough to do truly live on the Android.  This did not stop Rich from being on the phone all night.

The bigger issue is that it is potentially impossible to do both live scoring and live blogging.  Perhaps when we are on the road, but when you mix in needing to keep score for reals, as well as actually playing darts, it is a little much.

The good news is that Fred picked up the slack, both by throwing a Ton 74, but also by Facebooking it real-time.

The best news is that The Ship / Outs finally posted a win this season, so there were no ill effects of all this technology.

Stay tuned for more...

Retro-commenting, for anyone paying attention.

Rich started things out with a clunk, dropping both games of S501 without putting up much of a fight. Luckily Braley, who has emerged as a S501 force recently, came on for two wins. Dave and Fred followed with splits, and The Ship / Outs were tied 4-4.

Things got funky in the Cricket / D501 rounds, as we played out of order to accommodate a player that needed to leave.

John / Fred started out with a Cricket split, and then followed with two D501 wins. Rich / Dave did the exact same thing in the final two games, giving The Ship / Outs a 10-4 win for the night. Hurrah!
