THE BRITISH PENTATHLON

Transcription

1 THE BRITISH PENTATHLON The British Pentathlon is another tournament which has nothing at all to do with the WDF. It was invented, or should I say constructed by the Chairman of the Kent Darts Organisation Mr. Dennis Hawkins, who is much better known to the darting fraternity as "Sam". This tournament form has been duplicated all over the World, and many countries now have their own Pentathlons, often as a National Championship Event. It is the supreme test of skill and stamina, and certainly deserves its place among the "classic" events in Darts.
