Aiming for the (Double) Top
If you were handed 400 dollars, what would you spend it on? A holiday? Some home improvements? Or even a deposit on a new car?
Or how about the chance to realise a sporting ambition?
That's what more than 400 darts players have paid to take part in one of the qualifying events to secure a Professional Darts Corporation tour card.
If successful there'll be the chance to play in televised events around the globe, earning a slice of the ten million dollar prize fund.
But first it's the less glamorous surroundings of a large hall in Wigan in the north west of England, lined with darts boards where up to 32 matches take place at any one time.
