Advantages to Speed Dating

morphey · 08-13-2009

There are many advantages with regards to the speed dating process. The first has to deal with access. One of the main hurdles that individuals have to jump over with regard to the dating scene is access to other singles. Frequently singles are too busy with work to go out and find places to meet other single individuals. Additionally, some people don’t know the right places to go where meeting a potential mate might be a possibility. For these reasons, the accessibility to other singles which speed dating provides is a very attractive quality of this matchmaking method.

Time efficiency is another valuable quality of speed dating. Because each “date” lasts approximately 3 minutes and first impressions are quite important, one can usually determine even in that small period of time whether or not there may be something there. Rather than go out with one individual for a whole evening and not know whether or not the compatibility factor is there, speed dating takes care of this problem by having mini-dates as a deciding factor with regard to whether or not the individual is interested in having a full-blown date with someone.

Another advantage to speed dating is the fact that face-to-face rejection is less likely to be an option as one does not know who is interested in pursuing the relationship further until after the speed dating session has ended and numbers are (or are not) exchanged. This helps to soften the blow of not receiving an offer of a date at a face-to-face exchange.

A safe environment in which to meet other singles is another positive aspect to speed dating. Rather than venture out on a blind date or first date with someone whom one does not know, attending a speed dating session is a safe alternative as it is a group of individuals in one location where personal information is not exchanged and speed daters can feel secure in knowing that they will most likely be free from any potential harm.

Lastly, at these speed dating sessions, individuals who attend know that all of the other people who are there are attending this session because they are single and looking to mingle. This differs from a bar scene, for example, where individuals do not know who is single, involved or married and have to sift through the crowd to find available potential mates.

Hi,

The Dart Scoring -- Points and Current Score

Each dart is scored by the number where it lands on the target with the thin inner ring being worth 3 times the number indicated and the thin outer ring worth 2 times the number indicated while the two large sections score exactly the number indicated. Thus, the highest attainable score with three darts is 180 by hitting three tripple 20.

Hitting the center ( the smallest black circle) gives 50 points, while hitting the small red circular area around the center gives 25 points.

If, for example, at the end of the game when all you have left is 5 points and you hit a 20, then this throw does not count. You will have to keep throwing until you get 5 or fewer points.

The Current Score IS DIFFERENT from points:

Current Score = (501 - points) * 2 - 5 * dartsUsed

In the above formula:

points are the final points on the blackboard (the best number is ZERO -- completed game) dartsUsed -- the number of darts used in game

Time Bonus

If points left <= 20, Time Bonus equals the number of seconds left

If points left <= 100, Time Bonus equals the number of seconds left / 2

And if you are having a problem about Dart tricks and How to recording top scores, Gamecolony can help you find what you need.

Thanks
