Seriously though:  Who will get to decide what is "moderate"?  Will we trust a government agency or individual doctors or relatives or neighbors or....

We had a related but unrelated thing in a dart league I belong to.  We throw from 25 feet but have a line five feet closer for new, younger players (teens) and for anyone who is infirmed.  OR if a player need to throw from closer or he wouldn't be able to play..mostly for the older players in the league. (We had one on our team last year in his 90's!)

Some teams seem to be taking advantage to have their better players move up and increase their averages so other teams complain.

The only "rule" for using the 20 foot line is if the player "needs" it.  And since we don't play for money and it is a church league it should be on the team and players own conscience if they are cheating just to win a plastic trophy at the end of the season.

A bunch of options have been discussed over the years.  One was for a "permanent disability".  But how do you prove it?  One player had knee surgery two years ago but claims he can't throw a dart that far because his knee still swells. He can work on his roof...but he can't throw the dart.  

So do we get a doctor's excuse? 

And there are a couple guys that there is something "wrong" with them but I bet no one would diagnose them.


So when we talk about keeping guns from people, or taking guns from people, or  putting them in institutions based on mental issues...who decides?

Ha!  I hear you on the rest.

I would think it would have to be a rather lengthy and CLINICAL process.  There would have to be a log of "incidences" and suicidal/homocidal tendencies in order to take it that far.
