In 2001 on the Superior Darts website I had began a database of final player stats each dart season from the Duluth-Superior area. In 2004 I expanded that database to include all venders in MN with published season statistics. Even though this database was easily the most accessed page on Superior Darts, the work required simply outweighed any benefits, so 2005 was the last year any information was entered into this database. I know that players enjoyed watching from season to season, ranking higher and higher with practice and time.
The only way I would try this again for all players is with a great deal of help. For example, if league coordinators could send MN Darts final league stats in workable format, I can write the code to get it done. Somehow I doubt this will happen, as the NDA website offers the same service, and very few vendors send league stats to the NDA. Therefore I have an alternative plan. We could try a top 25 list, or something of the sort. With this I would need help as well, for others to keep an eye on final stats from leagues around the state and notify MN Darts of new top averages.
If all else fails maybe Ken will just have me publish the 7-year-old stats here and reminisce about how good we once claimed to be. Or is it how great we never were? Regardless, we will fill this page with something! I am open for other ideas as well. Send me an email if you have suggestions.
