The World Darts Tour may have been cancelled like everything else these days, but the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) is running the PDC Home Tour. Professional Darts players are now competing from home and you can follow online. (Note to newcomers: The shirts are optional, the beer is not!)

But do make sure your WiFi is up to snuff, unlike poor Gary Anderson who was disqualified from the tour for having a poor connection.

The same thing happened to 16-year-old chess prodigy, Alireza Firouzja, who lost his advantage in a chess match against Hikaru Nakamura in the 250,000 U.S. dollar (about 230,000 euro) Banter Blitz tournament because his internet connection went down.

Sometimes it’s worth it to get the more expensive package.
