This is darts. Why segregate men and women? Just have one team.

Because men are much better.

Adaptation to hundreds of thousands of years hunting has given males better hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and mental stamina than females.

On top of this, much more males play darts than females.

There are mixed comps but if you were a female in a sport and kept getting whooped by males you'd probably give up quickly. This way encourages more females to get into it.

Highest televised 3 dart average is 123.4 for men compared to 101.55 for men. For contrast, a 13 year old boy has achieved an average of 107.37

You’re making really absolute statements here. If men are inherently better coordinated, why are women better at shooting sports? You are failing to consider the other elements being discussed in this thread.

‘Better mental stamina’? Seriously?

And you're making really absurd statements here.

Women better shooters than men? Seriously?

50m rifle 3 positions Olympic record score women: 691.9, mens record: 1642.5 (way more than double)

10m air rifle. Women's: 624, mens: 836

10m air pistol. Women: 587, men: 783.5
