well that's a pdc ref saying it's a treble 5. I haven't read it all though so maybe he's joking.

He's not, the dart entered the board through the T5.

Point scored on the area the dart point enters

If it hasnt broken the sisal how do we determine if it has "entered" the area?

[Rogg]

We only need senna now and the entire jodie club can have a huge brawl.

The referee can see that the point is first passing through the t5 wires on its way to the board.

I'm sure this rule was established a long time ago with crappy boards with loose wires.

So basically its all immaterial and the real rule is "the ref has final say" like everything else.

No it's either under or over the wire

Or split the wire which I think is no score

5.4.2 A scoring dart is counted by reference to the segment into which the point of the
dart enters and remains in or touching the face of the dartboard.

Some vagueness in that.

However

5.5.7 All the wires forming the doubles and trebles segments, inner and outer centre rings
which together form the “Spider”, shall be affixed to the face of the dartboard in
such a manner that they lie flat on the face of the dartboard and feature no gaps or
splits.

So by the rules the wires form the segments and wire should be flat against the board so I assume they judge it as an anomaly to pass under a wire.

But yes

5.4.8 The Referee shall act as an umpire in all matters pertaining to these General Playing
Rules when conducting a Darts Event and shall, if it is necessary, consult with Scorers
and other Officials before announcing any decisions during the course of Match play.

As I recall, Edgar did a video including that image and had Bevins answer questions. He was same as Binks on that one.

I think the answer I would give if asked would be somewhere on the lines of "if the dart goes under the wire, thereby passing from the first segment to the second, it clearly must have at some point entered the first segement before going under the wire, hence it entered the first segment first and is therefore scored on that.

Have you seen those players from Africa? They have curved darts. Curved... darts...
