Obscure Darting Knowledge (quiz) - World Cup of Darts

Post by vizIIsto » Sat Jun 29, 2024 10:42 am

Let's have another trivia quiz! Here are the rules:

  • The quiz consists of two parts.
    • The first part has 10 questions worth anywhere from 2 to 5 points. These questions have multiple possible answers.
      You score these points only if nobody else gave the same correct answer as you.
    • The second part has 3 bonus questions worth 5 points each. It is up to you whether you choose to answer these questions or not.
      Be wary, as giving an incorrect answer to one of these questions will instead subtract 5 points from your score.


As it is important that your answers are secret to others, send your answers to me as a private message!

In total, 50 points can be scored in this quiz. If interest is high, I might do another one for the Matchplay.

You have until the start of Sunday's evening session to submit your answers.


#1: (2 points) Name a player who has previously won the World Cup of Darts.
#2: (2 points) Name a country from Asia that has participated at least once. (Russia is not a correct answer, nor are Australia and New Zealand)
#3: (2 points) Name a country that has been in a final.
#4: (3 points) Name a player who has recorded a 115+ average, either in an individual match or as part of a doubles match.
#5: (3 points) Name a country that has knocked out England.
#6: (4 points) Name a player who has represented Canada.
#7: (4 points) Name a player who has played at every edition so far.
#8: (5 points) Name a city that has hosted the World Cup of Darts.
#9: (5 points) Name a country that has only participated once so far.
#10: (5 points) Name a country that has lost a match to Gibraltar.

Bonus question #1: (5 points) Which pair of players has appeared most often at the World Cup of Darts?
Bonus question #2: (5 points) What country has lost the most games without winning a single time?
Bonus question #3: (5 points) Out of the following 10 players, only one has actually played at the World Cup of Darts. Who is it?
  • Julio Barbero, Roman Benecký, Corey Cadby, Andreas Harrysson, Scott Kirchner, Koha Kokiri, Sun Qiang, Michael Rasztovits, Tomas Seyler, Benito vd Pas


(to clarify question #4: the pair itself needs to have recorded the 115+ average, and either player of that pair will count as a correct answer)

Since the comments should not have answers to the quiz, instead feel free to argue my ruling that Russia is not an Asian country.

If you go for the bonus questions do you have to do all 3 or can you answer just one or two?

oche epically flounders a tied lead in the first section by answering all bonus questions wrong.
