Oxford University Darts Club runs the inter-collegiate darts league which is the fifth best participated sport at the university.[1] Around 300 players compete in the inter-collegiate league each week, representing one of the 25 college teams entered into the competition.[citation needed] The team also competes against a team from the University of Cambridge in the varsity match. This was televised by the BBC in 2005 but has been described as "the worst display of darts ever to grace the BDO World Championship stage and television screens."[2]
