The World Cup of Darts came to a fabulous conclusion on Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany, as the top seeds England and Scotland faced each other in a dramatic final. After the highly fancied Dutch pairing went out in the semis, the stage was set for England's Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis to take on Scotland's Gary Anderson and Peter Wright. In a tense final, the result went right down to the wire before England won 3-2.

Thirty-two countries contested the four-day tournament, with each nation represented by two players, the highest ranked players on the PDC rankings for each country.

In round one the legs were played out in the doubles format, each player alternating turns at the oche, with the first country to five legs winning the match.

Thereafter up to the final, the format changed to two singles matches, the first player to four legs winning their game. If the singles were shared, then a deciding doubles match was played.

England's run

England were the champions in 2012 and 2013, featuring the trusted duo of Taylor and Lewis, with 18 world titles between them. They began by whitewashing Denmark 5-0 and were just as conclusive in round two, knocking Japan out 2-0. Despite strong local support, Germany fared no better in the last-eight, losing 2-0 to the favourites.

Scotland's progress

Scotland had been equally commanding on their way through to the semis. A first round victory over Singapore 5-1 was proceeded by a 2-0 success over Hungary in round two. Hong Kong succumbed 2-0 in the quarter-finals.

Semi-finals

With the preliminary rounds concluded, the last-four clashes included Belgium (seeded 5th), who sneaked in after a 2-1 quarter-final success over the 4th seeded Australians:

England (1) v Belgium (5)
Scotland (2) v Netherlands (3)

England won two tight singles matches against Belgium's Huybrechts brothers, sealing their final's place with a 2-0 victory. Taylor beat Ronny 4-3, before Lewis overcame younger brother Kim 4-2.

The second semi-final was even closer, with world number one Michael van Gerwen partnering the five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld in the Dutch team. They shared the singles games: van Gerwen winning 4-3 against Wright; Anderson being a clear 4-1 winner over van Barneveld. The Scots romped to a 4-1 success in the deciding doubles match to put the Dutch out.

The final

The final proved to be a fitting finale. In many ways the format resembled the Davis Cup in tennis, with two singles games, a doubles game and then two further singles to complete the drama if required. The first team to three points would lift the title.

Taylor started in scintillating form, whitewashing Wright 4-0 and posting a three-dart average of 113.43, a record for the World Cup. Anderson was almost as convincing, levelling the scores with a 4-1 victory over Lewis.

Into the doubles, which the more experienced pairing of the English duo edged 4-3 but only just. Taylor appeared to have hit the wrong treble on his way to a 101 checkout, but gathered himself to hit double 4.

The match was extended into the deciding singles tie, after Anderson produced a stunning display with an average of 108.04 to overcome Taylor 4-1. Leg 3 proved to be crucial, as Taylor set up double top to break the throw, only for Anderson to complete a 150 check-out on double 15 to take the leg instead.

Lewis was to hold his nerve in his singles battle with Wright though, winning the game 4-1 with a 14-dart finish in the last leg to clinch the title for England.

As for professional game of dart, we recommend tungsten dart, tungsten is an extremely dense metal. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the knurling will last much longer.

The PDC's first televised event in Japan saw an enthusiastic crowd of over 1,000 pack Yokohama's Osanbashi Hall to see eight leading domestic stars take on the sport's biggest names.

Van Barneveld began confidently with a 13-dart leg, but Aida led 2-1, 3-2 and 4-3 with some assured finishing of his own - until crucially missing one tungsten dart at double 16 in leg eight and missing the chance to open up a two-leg lead.

The five-time World Champion stepped in to follow up an earlier 107 checkout with a 104 finish, before moving 5-4 up on double five and then sealing victory with a 146 combination.

"I'm happy with the win but not happy with the way I played," said van Barneveld. "In the first couple of legs everything was fine, but I had a few sloppy legs after that.

"The three big finishes were important, especially the two at the end, but getting the win was all that mattered and I can prepare for the next day now."

Van Barneveld now takes on 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor, who defeated Masumi Chino 6-2 in another game which saw the Japanese ace impress.

Taylor landed two 180s as he took the game's first three legs, only for Chino to finish 69 to hit back in the fourth and double ten to pull back to 3-2.

Taylor, though, finished 135 to restore his breathing space before winning the next two legs to progress.

"It's very nerve-wracking coming up against a player you don't know much about, but he's a fantastic player who'll get better and better," said Taylor.

"We've had a wonderful reception from everyone in Japan and it's a tournament that we're all desperate to win tomorrow night."

World Champion Gary Anderson landed four 180s in his 6-2 defeat of Yuki Yamada, who took out 121 on the bull but was unable to match the Scot's power scoring.

Anderson will meet James Wade in the quarter-finals on Sunday evening, after the eight-time major winner defeated double World Championship qualifier Morihiro Hashimoto 6-2.

World number one Michael van Gerwen, who won the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters a month ago, began his bid for another World Series title with a 13-minute whitewash of Chikara Fujimori.

Van Gerwen's quarter-final opponent will be Stephen Bunting, who hit six doubles from eight attempts in a clinical 6-1 win over Shintaro Inoue, whose only leg came with a 118 checkout.

"I don't think the scoreline reflected the game because he missed some doubles to go ahead and it could have been a different game if he had hit them," admitted Bunting.

"He showed what a fantastic player he is but he missed a few doubles early on, and six out of eight for me is probably as well as I've finished all year."

Adrian Lewis swept past Sho Katsumi with a 6-0 whitewash to begin his bid for a first World Series of Darts victory.

Lewis will now take on Peter Wright, who ended home hopes in the tournament with a 6-1 defeat of Japanese number one Haruki Muramatsu, averaging 102.28 in the best-quality performance of the first round.

Wright landed two 11-darters as he took a 3-0 lead, before Muramatsu took out 100 to hit back, but the colourful former World Championship finalist pulled clear by taking the next three legs without reply.

"I knew that I was up against the top Japanese player and the amazing venue and great crowd spurred me on," said Wright. "It was hard being on last after everyone else had played, and won, so there was more pressure on me and it's a relief to get the win.

"I still feel that I've got more in the tank, but I really enjoyed the tungsten dart game. It's going to be tough on Sunday with three games but I can't wait."
As for professional game of dart,we recommend tungsten dart,Tungsten is an extremely dense metal, heavier than lead. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the grip will last much longer.

Gary Anderson in action during the final PDC DARTS chiefs in 27 June clinched a stunning deal to stage the World Series Finals in Glasgow.
Record Sport can reveal the sensational news for Scottish tungsten darts fans which will see the cream of the game head to the Braehead Arena for a £200,000 shootout on November 21-22.
World champion Gary Anderson will spearhead the event with the top eight players from this year’s five World Series events in Dubai, Japan, Perth, Sydney and Auckland being joined by 16 qualifiers from around the world.
World No.1 Michael van Gerwen, 16-times world 
champion Phil Taylor, five-times world 
champion Raymond van Barneveld and Anderson’s Scottish World Cup partner Peter Wright are also set to make the line-up alongside the likes of Adrian Lewis and James Wade.
With two sessions per day and the action live on ITV4, the PDC last night clinched the 
agreement to take the tournament to Braehead.
Darts chiefs are thrilled at bringing another major championship north of the border.
With the Betway Premier League nights at Glasgow’s Hydro and Aberdeen’s Gas and Oil attracting sell-out crowds of 11,000 and 4000, the Scottish tungsten darts scene is thriving with Anderson’s World Championship win at the turn of the year boosting the profile to its highest-ever level. Although The Unibet Masters was lost from Ingliston’s Royal Highland Centre last year, PDC bosses Barry Hearn and Matt Porter have given Scotland another huge show of faith by bringing another big event north.

The Egyptian Darts Federation headed by Yehia Abdel-Kader held a tournament, the second of its kind, to rank players in tungsten darts. From 7-13 June 56 men and women players entered, including 12 foreigners.
In the men’s results, Briton Dave Envis won first place and LE2,500. Egyptian Ayman Mansour took second with LE1,500 while Egyptians Abdel-Aziz Yehia and Amir Shousha came in third place with LE500 each.
It was the first time for Yehia to compete in the tournament, but Envis and Shousha have been there before. They have 24 points in their ranking.
In the women’s, Mariam Fahmi took first place and LE1,000.
The semi-final and final were held at Al-Massa Hotel in Nasr City. Among the attendees was Egypt’s Deputy Minister of Sport Ashraf Sobhi.
Total prize money was LE6,000.
After the launch of the EDF in January 2015, Egypt became the first Arab country to make darts an official sport. EDF became the first Arab federation and the second African federation to join the World Darts Federation (WDF) along with 80 other countries.
The WDF also holds the World Darts Cup every two years and a number of regional and continental championships. More than 650 tungsten darts throwers are registered across the world.
According to how the tournament was scored, the first place winner added 90 points to his ranking, the second place 60 points, third place (two players) 40 points, fifth place (four players) 24 points, ninth place (eight players) 12 points and 17th place (16 players) six points.
EDF collects all the points scored by each athlete in the four top tournaments and presents a list with the final ranking of the players at the end of the season.
“The EDF’s plan for 2015 is to hold four tournaments for ranking Egyptian tungsten darts players,” Abdel-Kader said. “This is the second one. The first was in March. The third tournament will be in September and the fourth in December. These tournaments will give points that will be added to the ranking of Egyptian tungsten darts players. Then, EDF will inform the WDF of the results.”
“Only five months have passed since the official launching of EDF yet the number of athletes increased to 110 men and women athletes. We expect this number will multiply in the coming period after Egyptian sporting clubs join the EDF and increase the number of the members in the EDF’s general assembly.
“EDF’s headquarter is fully equipped so any player can train on tungsten darts,” Abdel-Kader added.
Abdel-Kader told Al-Ahram Weekly: “Youth and Sport Minister Khaled Abdel-Aziz asked me to present a proposal for holding the International Darts Championship in Egypt. I assure you that Egypt has potential and abilities to host such a championship. Darts doesn’t need a large space. It only needs an equipped hall, like any press conference hall or meeting room. These are available in all touristic sites in Egypt.”

Canterbury youngster Jack Warner is dreaming of walking on stage at Alexandra Palace during the 2016 PDC World Darts Championship, writes James Sloan.

Warner has qualified for the under-23 finals of the Sky TV show, The Darts Factor – which will be televised next month – and the winner will get the opportunity to play on the biggest stage of them all.

The 15-year-old has progressed through to the final 24 after being assessed on his high scoring and treble hitting by judges at Meadow Lane – the home of Notts County Football Club.

What Warner lacks in years of experience, he more than makes up for with ability and confidence and he fancies his chances of winning The Darts Factor.

He is also hoping to win a place in the England Youth Team. He said: “I’m one of the youngest and the others have a lot of experience and are at least a couple of years 

older. I know if I play my best tungsten dart game I have a good chance.”

While it would be an amazing experience, the teenager is unlikely to be too daunted by the prospect of performing in front of thousands of fans at Ally Pally, having already played against the greatest tungsten darts player of all-time.

Warner said: “I got to the finals of a competition in Wolverhampton and the person running the competition brought Phil Taylor along and I was picked to play against him.”

The youngster relishes these opportunities and is assured on where he hopes his talent can take him.

He added: “That would be my dream, playing tungsten darts as a professional week in, week out.”

Over a century ago in 1895, Roentgen discovered the first example of ionizing radiation, X-rays. The key to Roentgens discovery was a device called a Crooke’s tube, which was a glass envelope under high vacuum, with a wire element at one end forming the cathode, and a heavy copper target at the other end forming the anode. When a high voltage was applied to the electrodes, electrons formed at the cathode would be pulled towards the anode and strike the copper with very high energy. Roentgen discovered that very penetrating radiations were produced from the anode, which he called X-rays.

X-ray production whenever electrons of high energy strike a heavy metal target, like tungsten or copper. When electrons hit this material, some of the electrons will approach the nucleus of the metal atoms where they are deflected because of there opposite charges (electrons are negative and the nucleus is positive, so the electrons are attracted to the nucleus). This deflection causes the energy of the electron to decrease, and this decrease in energy then results in forming an X-ray.

Medical X-ray machines in hospitals use the same principle as the Crooke’s Tube to produce X-rays. The most common X-ray machines use tungsten as there cathode, and have very precise electronics so the amount and energy of the X-ray produced is optimum for making images of bones and tissues in the body.

Tungsten market: After a continuous drop last week, today's mainstream tungsten concentrate, APT, tungsten powder product manufacturers offer steady, the current market demand for tungsten light, transactions scarce, expected short-term price of tungsten or tungsten-based market gradually low stabilized, the decline narrowed. Due to the poor overall domestic economic situation, the poor end-market consumption capacity, most of the dwindling number of buyers purchase, resulting in the market's overall trading increasingly bleak.

It is understood that most of the domestic manufacturers that ferrotungsten large domestic steel procurement channels, relatively fixed, resulting in most of the manufacturers take the goods channels are sluggish, turnover is very difficult. In addition, due to the poor economic situation in the country as a whole, poor end-market consumption capacity, most of the dwindling number of buyers purchase, resulting in the market's overall trading increasingly bleak.

It has been shown in Rotterdam on Friday night down again ferrotungsten warehouse offer $ 0.25 / kg of tungsten, tungsten iron offer 75% to $ 27.6-28.1 / kg tungsten, European buyers still larger force prices down.

It is understood that due to the foreign market gradually into the summer break, most of the steel production in poor condition, purchase inquiries for ferrotungsten small number of strong efforts to keep the prices down. Thus, Asia ferrotungsten manufacturers to timely payment and low-priced goods to go to compromise deal.

Two-time champions and 2014 winners Debbie and Ashley Clements (Jacks Jokers) were trying for another title, but despite a 180 from Ashley, they couldn’t get past the second round.
More 180s came from Bradley Marshall (BRSA Ravens), Richard Pennells (Jacks Jokers), Colin Ragless (Friary D) and Gary Miller (Claremont). The last 180 came from Mick Deadman (Aldingbourne SC) in the first round – when he needed only 167!
The first semi-final saw Mazz Tupper and Keith Robinson (Chi Snooker C) beat Tracey Reeves and Marshall (BRSA Ravens).
The second semi-final pitched birthday girl Hayley Gatford and Andy Stubbs (Hunston Club) lose out to Karen Winter and Gary Miller (Claremont).
So the final saw last year’s runners-up Tupper and Robinson against Winter and Miller.
An even start from both teams meant someone needed to break the throw. That came from Winter and Miller with two large scores on the trot.
With nearly a 100 lead, Winter left Miller with double 16 which he took out with his last tungsten dart to take the first leg.
Robinson started the second leg with 99 but Miller followed that with 95 and on their next throws, Robinson hit a ton with Miller again hitting 95.
It was still close between both teams, Winter hitting 85 to leave a finish of 70, while Robinson went up for 111.
Hitting the treble 17 with the first tungsten dart and single 20 with the next gave him one tungsten dart at double top, but he just missed.
Miller stepped up for 70 but had only one dart at double top, but it didn’t go in.
Tupper tried for double top but missed, but still had a chance with the last tungsten dart which touched the wire of double seven, but on the outside.
Winter stepped up to take the leg with double top, hitting it with the last tungsten dart to become the mixed pairs champions for 2015.
