In 1896, a carpenter from Lancashire in England, by the name of Brian Gamlin, invented the dartboard numbering layout of today.

Today the game is most popular in Britain where there are millions of players and thousands of registered club, however it's quickly become an international pastime and lucartive sports. The game also popular in the Netherlands, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

Nowadays, the game of darts has grown tremendously, why i said that because we have the conventional darts (steeltip) and Electronic dart (Softip). In which, there are two major player in this field of electronic darts, korea and Japan.

As for me, i started off with conventional darts in 2014. At first, i was struggling to make a mark in this sport but after talking and meeting my idol 'Phil The Power Taylor' it motivated me to training harder. During that time in the local sceen the person to beat was my Sifu and mentor, Jerry Logitan.

Finally, pure determination, practice and patience, i got my break in 2015. It was a single event organised by Bulleyes dart cafe, i was in the finals, i was going up against my mentor. It was a very intense finals, at first Jerry was leading the game by 2-0, it was a best of 7 games but with focus and support from friends, i managed to turn the game around and successfully defeated my mentor 4-2 in the finals. With all the hard work and passion for the game, it really paid off. After that i continue to participate in a lot of other tournaments.

November 2016, i was introduced to electronic darts by a friend. The following month i joined a major tournament in Kuala Lumpur that was the Phoenix Cup and i was sponsored by OMG dart cafe. I participated in the double event open category. By the grace of God, we emerged champion. It was an eye opener for the players and organizer in West Malaysia, when Sabah team won several division that year.
