2017 Ladies Pentathlon

The 2017 Ladies Pentathlon was the first to be run by the England Darts Organisation, it was played at Bunn Leisure Selsey and the winner was Deta Hedman, it was Deta's fourth Pentathlon title having also won in 2010, 2013 & 2014.

The Ladies Pentathlon was played at Bunn Leisure, Selsey and the final  scores are below.

(Formation and History)

The British Pentathlon was the brainchild of England President, Sam Hawkins (pictured on the left) who as a founder member of the Kent Darts Organisation (KDO), ran the first ever Pentathlon in 1976 and it continued under Sam's stewardship right up until the 41st anniversary in 2016. A separate Ladies event was started in 2004

However Sam and the KDO decided that it was time to pass the unique Pentathlon events over to someone else and the England Darts Organisation are honoured to have been entrusted with taking the events on and will now be played at Bunn Leisure, Selsey as part of the two established EDO events. The Ladies Pentathlon will be played on Thursday 15th June as the first event of the 2017 England Open festival. The Mens Pentathlon will be played on Thursday 7th September at the start of the 2017 England Classic festival.

For those that have not heard or seen the Pentathlon before it is an invitational only event that is played between just 20 players and as well as the traditional 501 legs, it also features one game of 1001 and one game of 2001. There is also the 'special games' of Shanghi, Halve-it and Round the Board on Doubles (RBD). All the 'special games' have an additional prize for their winners on top of prize money for the top four players overall.

The big difference in the Pentathlon is that the overall positions are decided on a points basis, where every single thrown can score points for the player.

Each of the 20 players play all the other players in two legs of 501, to see the full points system go to the points scoring at the bottom of the page. To see an explanation of all the rules see below.
