There was a chant in an early match, I seriously couldn't believe it, something like "who the f*k are you, who the f**kin' hell are you", plain as day. It is impossible to sit in an auditorium like that and sit and watch darts for 4 hours, even if youre the biggest darts fan in the world. The other option is to take the average over all countries and plot the healthcare spendings over time and instead . What this means in practice is simply that we should avoid comparing the three other spending to the total — so for each visualisation, I either use the total or the other three.

Illustration: David Humphries for the Guardian While darts is increasingly fashionable, there is something reassuring in the way that its stars remain anything but. They even chose to cheer Wes Newton instead of Phil Taylor in their match, which is comforting in a way as Wes hasn’t got too much love from many casual darts fans. We've considered going to the PL but in full knowledge that it would be for a piss up and the experience of it rather than to watch darts.This allows for a deeper comparison of the healthcares system between countries, which I found quite interesting.

Secondly, it’s a bit unclear what the units of the Y-axis are, and therefore what it is exactly that I’m looking at. Curling and shooting, both of which are Olympic sports, hardly require great athletic prowess either.I should go back and make the table a bit shallower above the tee slots to give a little more room for parts. thud – and a final “whoooaar” as Smith clenches his fist and Doets is left to look on with a glassy stare.

The production is good enough that they usally catch the board action and just have momentary cut aways for the crowd shots. It also keeps it flexible so that overtime as interest areas change, the table can change with it with low intervention from the developer. It transcended darts, sparking a new wave of fascination with a sport that, on one hand, is so simple and recognisable yet, on the other, produces such unique electricity, generating rowdy crowds, frenetic atmospheres, and gripping moments of tension that are celebrated with the most euphoric release.

Don't think alcohol restriction would work, the crowd will still be chanting at each other even if no alcohol was served. While darts is increasingly fashionable, there is something reassuring in the way that its stars remain anything but. Adding automatic comparisons will enable the user to easily identify how the performance of that data point fits within the larger ecosystem. Most just go to get drunk and sing the same three songs over and over and over and over and over again.

The irony is that while attending most sports is a viewing enhancer – in football the eye sees more off-the-ball runs than TV cameras can catch; at ringside the connection of leather on a boxer's skin becomes altogether less abstract – in darts the action is blurry even before a beverage is sunk. As Yoda hobbles back into the room and along tables double the length of lorries – every inch covered with cups and empty pitchers – a paper mask of Harry Kane with eerie, empty eyes looks down at his pint forlornly, as if his lederhosen is too tight around the waist. The crowd at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool tends to be comprised more of proper darts fans than people just going for a good time. And those who say darts doesn't make you sweat have never seen Phil "The Power" Taylor play a long-setter under lights.I chose a dataset I found interesting, but also one where the original visualisation could use a lot of improvement: The 2020/W42: Health spending dataset with the original data coming from OECD . I really felt bad for Evetts in that match since you just knew the crowd was firmly on Fallon's side but he didn't deserve the guff he got when throwing. For most of the countries, these match up exactly, but for a few of them, such as Switzerland, there’s a discrepancy. Last night at the height of the Taylor potential shock when Azrabo was nearly two sets up all you could here was 'Boring Boring tables' Sums it all up for me , zero interest in the Darts.
