Nathan Smith smashed the UoB Pebble Beach record by carding an stunning score of -31 from the two rounds played. With all the UoB competitors playing on the two boards at the Graduate Show, Nathan finished a full 14 shots ahead of John Everest in second.
The game of Pebble Beach is quite a favourite amongst the UoB players, right up there with a the classic game of Wood-Shot. Introduced by Will Burley a couple of months ago, the game scores exactly like a game of golf, where points are taken off your score the better you play on the board. Players take it in turn to aim at the numbers from 1 all the way through to 18 (19, 20 and Bull are used when a play-off is required). On each visit a player must throw all three darts at the number (or hole) that they are on.
The scoring works as followed:
+1 = Player does not hit a single dart in number aiming for.
PAR = One dart lands in the single area of the number aiming for.
-1 = One dart lands in either the double or treble of the number aiming for.
-2 = Three darts land in the single area of the number aiming for.
-3 = A combination of two darts landing in a treble or double
(could be two trebles, two doubles or one double and one treble).
-4 = A combination of all three darts landing in a treble or double
(could be three trebles, three doubles, one double and two trebles or one treble and two doubles).
