I was recently interviewed by American darting legend and author (“How to Master the Sport of Darts” and “Darts: Beginning to End”), George Silberzahn. The full interview follows. It can also be found at George’s website and if you go there ("How to" Darts) you can also BUY one of his excellent books!
Take a moment and learn more about the birth and evolution of Dartoid (and me), how we got in darts, how we think, why we do what we do, and what we see for the sport in the years ahead...

Dartoid's World INTERVIEWED!
November 6, 2008 Column 337
Crazy as it may seem, Dartoid’s World was recently asked for an interview by a college student named Samantha. Below is my reply.
Hello Sammy...
It is a great honor to be asked for an interview. When I learned that you were interested in my opinions I began to weep.
You can count on me!
I promise to do better than Sarah Palin did with Katie Couric.
Speaking of politics, below is special photograph for you.
I call it "I am a mineral."
Darts give Flint native another chance in CANUSA Games
August 09, 2007 Sports Now Archives
Paul Seigel was a record-breaking swimmer in the CANUSA Games in the late 1960s, but he might be about to set another one this weekend in Hamilton, Ontario.
It's likely that no athlete has had a longer span between CANUSA appearances than Seigel.
Seigel last participated in CANUSA in 1974 when he helped Flint win two relays against the visitors from Hamilton in the annual competition between the cities.
He is making a return to the CANUSA stage for the 50th anniversary games this weekend as a member of Flint's darts team.

If I had ten minutes on television I’d score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, hit the winning home run in the World Series, score the winning basket in the NBA finals, and knockout Mike Tyson. I’d spend the remaining nine glorious minutes wrestling the Miller Lite cat-fight babes.

Who the Heck is Dartoid?

Interviewed by Sherilyn Herkey at The Passionate Darter
Dartoid, AKA Paul Seigel, recently indulged me in answering some questions. Here they are!
What do you do for a living that allows you to travel the world in search of darts, the darters and the ultimate game? And do you need an assistant to carry your darts? (Hint, me, me, me!)
A Conversation with Marylou Seigel, the Woman Behind Avid Darter and Dart Writer Dartoid

Interview of Mrs. Dartoid by Sherilyn Herkey at The Passionate Darter
It doesn't matter what the darter's native language is, all darters understand the lingo of darts, the meaning of a handshake and appreciate a good game. It's not only the sport that Paul is passionate about, but the people involved in playing and running the sport that fascinate Dartoid as well. While he spends so much time on the road playing darts and talking darts with the regular darters like myself, I have been curious to know what his wife thinks about his adventures. Love him or hate him, he's definitely got something to say about the dart world and his heart is in the right place. Here is an interview with Marylou Seigel, wife of Paul, AKA Dartoid:
Feature by Rebecca Fishkin – Darts Player Magazine
December 1999 Darts Player Magazine
Almost every time Paul Seigel ‑‑ or any other player, for that matter ‑‑ walks into a room to throw darts, the scene is familiar.
In a smoky room with dim lighting, Paul sets his beer on a sticky table and shakes his darts from a custom‑made "Bones" Hanson, ebony case, decorated with silver inlay.
Over the sounds of televised sportscasters and the knocking of billiard balls, Paul exchanges pleasantries with his opponents.
That's the moment when the scene becomes foreign to most other darters. As Paul offers a greeting in English his opponents say hello, or the equivalent, in Spanish, or Swahili or Chinese.
