Since COVID and the acceptance of online darts, I believe numbers on new players has dropped off in Australia.Clubs may say that their numbers have grown, but it is just a shift of club.

Then when you find a site, nothing about clubs, yes there is affiliates, zones etc., but that means nothing to the general public.It starts at the top on researching; it looks like DA has had no direction since 2017.

That clubs have no restrictions on when and how they run their club, with guidance from the state bodies, not control from the state bodies.Affiliated...
