George Killington | Darts Profile, Stats & Results

If you?re researching George Killington ahead of a match, this profile is designed to help you make sense of what his numbers typically mean in real darts terms. On DartsStats.com, you can drill into his results, averages, finishing and scoring trends, then compare them by format, opponent type and event conditions. Use this page as a practical framework: what to look for, what tends to travel well between venues, and what can be noise in small samples.

Player Snapshot

Full Name and Nickname (If Used)

Full name: George Killington
Nickname: If a nickname is used in competition coverage, it will usually appear alongside his match listings and player card on DartsStats.com. If none is listed, treat ?George Killington? as the searchable name for stats and results.

Country and Tour Status

Killington?s country representation and tour status (tour card holder, associate, development pathway, or predominantly regional/floor competitor) matters because it often determines:

• Event mix: stage majors vs floor events vs local circuits.
• Match formats: shorter best-of legs on floor days, longer set-play in championships.
• Data stability: a larger pool of recorded matches generally gives more trustworthy trendlines.

On DartsStats.com, use the filters for competition and year to see where the bulk of his sample comes from before drawing conclusions.

Best-Of Formats and Typical Strengths

Different players ?fit? different formats. For Killington, your first job is to identify whether his edge (when he has one) is built on:

• Fast-start scoring (strong first 9), which tends to show up in short races.
• Grinding leg management (solid holding throw and timely breaks), which matters more in longer matches.
• Finishing under pressure (checkout rate holding up in clutch legs), which matters in both but is exposed in set-play.

Best practice: check his win rate by match length (e.g., best of 9 vs best of 11/13) and compare it to his average. If wins climb without big average gains, it can indicate strong finishing, better timing, or opponent-quality effects.

Playing Style

Scoring Profile (T20 Heavy, Switching, Tempo)

Scoring style is more than ?hits 180s? or ?doesn?t?. For profiling Killington, look for three tell-tale markers on DartsStats.com:

• T20 dependence: Does his scoring collapse when T20 isn?t landing? You?ll often see this as a wide spread between his best and worst legs, with a few heavy-scoring bursts and then patches of 60?100 scoring.
• Switching patterns: Frequent switches to T19 or cover shots (T18, bull routes) can stabilise scoring when the T20 bed is blocked or when doubles leave a better out. Switching can also reduce 180 volume while improving consistency.
• Power scoring vs accumulation: Some players build on 140/100/100 rhythm rather than 180 spikes. That influences totals markets (180s, highest checkout) and leg-winning probability in tight sets.

A useful quick-read is the combination of first 9 average and 180 rate. A high first 9 with a modest 180 rate usually points to steady 140s/100s rather than relentless maximums.

Finishing Profile (Preferred Doubles, Checkout Tendencies)

Finishing is where many matches are decided, especially on the floor. For Killington, build a picture from:

• Preferred doubles: Many right-handers favour D16/D20 routes; others are comfortable on D10, D12 or D8. You can infer preferences by looking at frequent ?dart at double? end points and common missed-double clusters.
• Checkout bands: Is he strong in the 40?80 range (clean two-dart set-ups), or does he rely on bigger, lower-frequency finishes?
• Pressure finishing: Compare checkout percentage in deciding legs or late legs (when available) to his overall rate. A drop can indicate nerves; a rise can indicate strong composure.

Pay special attention to the relationship between attempts at doubles and missed doubles. A player can show a decent checkout percentage simply because they create fewer chances; conversely, a high miss count can hide a positive sign if they?re generating lots of opportunities.

Pace and Rhythm Notes

Pace can be a silent edge. Some players thrive in a fast cadence; others need a measured reset. While pace is not always quantified in public stats, you can approximate rhythm stability by:

• Volatility of leg averages: steady players show narrower variation.
• Performance after breaks: does his scoring dip after intervals or long games?
• Match-to-match continuity: sharp spikes and dips across consecutive matches can suggest rhythm sensitivity.

Key Stats on DartsStats.com

3-Dart Average and First 9 Average

These are the two core scoring indicators, but they answer different questions:

• 3-dart average: overall scoring and efficiency across the leg, including the finishing phase where scoring slows down.
• First 9 average: pure scoring power before the leg becomes a checkout battle.

For Killington, the gap between them is informative. A large gap can mean heavy scoring followed by slower set-up darts or finishing inefficiency. A smaller gap can indicate consistent accumulation and tidy routes, even if the ceiling is lower.

Checkout Percentage and Missed Doubles

Checkout percentage is best read alongside missed doubles. Use these together to evaluate ?true? finishing form:

• High checkout % + low missed doubles: clean, efficient finishing.
• Average checkout % + high missed doubles: lots of chances created; finishing may be the only missing piece.
• Low checkout % + low missed doubles: potential warning sign that chances are scarce (opponents finishing first).

When assessing a short run of matches, prioritise attempt volume. Ten missed doubles sounds huge until you see it was from, say, 60 attempts across a full day of play.

180 Rate and High Checkout Trends

Maximums matter, but context matters more. On DartsStats.com, check:

• 180s per leg: a fairer comparison than raw counts when match lengths vary.
• High checkout frequency: look at the proportion of 100+ checkouts, not just the single highest finish.
• Correlation with wins: some players can lose while hitting plenty of 180s if they leak doubles.

High checkouts can be as much about opponent pressure as skill: players attempt bigger finishes when they?re forced to. If Killington?s high-checkout rate rises in losses, that can signal he?s being dragged into low-percentage outs.

Legs and Sets Performance Splits

Where available, review splits such as:

• Leg win rate on throw vs against throw (hold/break).
• Decider legs (5th/9th/11th leg performance).
• Set-play efficiency (if he plays sets): opening legs of sets and closing legs can show composure.

A player with an average 3-dart average but a strong break rate can still be a dangerous underdog, particularly in short formats where a single break often decides the match.

Recent Form and Performance Trends

Last 10?20 Matches Summary

The most reliable ?recent form? view uses 10?20 matches and compares it to a longer baseline. For Killington, review:

• Average trend: is the 3-dart average rising, flat, or falling?
• Floor of performance: how often is he dropping below a workable level (for example, repeated sub-par scoring for his level)?
• Finishing stability: is checkout % fluctuating wildly? Big swings can be normal, but repeated low finishing across 15?20 matches is meaningful.

Also check the quality of opposition. A tough run can compress averages; a softer run can inflate them. A good habit is to compare his average against the opponent?s average in the same matchlist.

Stage vs Floor Differences (If Relevant)

If Killington plays both stage and floor events, split them. Many players:

• score similarly on stage but finish worse due to pressure and fewer routine chances;
• or finish well on stage but start slowly under lights.

On DartsStats.com, filter by event type. If the sample is small, don?t overfit. Use it as a ?note?, not a verdict.

Form Indicators to Watch

Before you decide he?s ?in form? or ?out of form?, check indicators that stabilise quickest:

• First 9 average (often stabilises earlier than checkout %).
• Break chances created (opportunities to break throw, even if not taken).
• Legs won in 15 darts or fewer (or similar fast-leg markers where listed).

A common trap is treating a single 101+ average as a new normal. Look for repeatability across multiple matches, ideally across different opponents and boards.

Career Highlights

Major Titles and Notable Runs

Killington?s standout results (titles, finals, televised runs, or high-profile wins) should be read alongside the match stats that produced them. When you see a notable run on DartsStats.com, check whether it was built on:

• elite scoring (sustained high averages);
• timely finishing (winning close legs despite similar scoring); or
• favourable match-ups (styles he handles well).

Breakthrough Moments and Milestones

Milestones can include debut appearances at higher-tier events, first deep runs, or a sequence of wins against established names. These moments often coincide with a statistical shift you can track:

• an uplift in first 9 without a corresponding collapse on doubles;
• a rise in break rate (suggesting improved pressure scoring);
• reduced missed doubles per leg (cleaner close-outs).

Rivalries and Signature Matches

Signature matches are useful because they reveal how Killington behaves when the match becomes tactical or tense. When reviewing these games:

• note whether he kept pace in scoring or relied on finishing;
• check if he won or lost most key legs (legs 3, 4, 7, 8 in short races);
• identify whether the opponent?s style pushed him off his preferred routes.

Best Matchups and Risk Factors

Opponents and Styles That Suit

Match-ups are about who forces you to play ?your? game. Killington may be better suited to opponents who:

• leave plenty of mid-range checkouts (40?80), giving him routine finishing chances;
• don?t punish missed doubles with immediate 12?15 dart legs;
• play a similar tempo, allowing him to settle.

If his results improve against steady accumulators but dip against explosive 180 hitters, that can signal he struggles when opponents create constant pressure on 121?170 ranges.

Common Weak Spots (If Any)

Rather than labelling weaknesses, look for repeatable patterns:

• Double-entry issues: repeated misses when first arriving on a double.
• Late-leg scoring dip: good first 9, then poor set-up darts leading to awkward doubles.
• Volatility: swings from brilliant legs to loose legs within the same match.

These show up in splits like missed doubles, checkout attempts, and leg-by-leg scoring (where available).

Format and Distance Effects

Format can change the whole read:

• Short races (best of 7/9 legs): variance is higher; one break can decide everything. A strong starter (high first 9) is valuable.
• Medium races (best of 11/13): consistency and finishing quality become clearer.
• Set-play: momentum swings and timing matter; a single poor set can undo good overall stats.

Betting scenario 1 (legs handicap example): Suppose Killington has a recent 15-match stretch showing a better hold rate than his opponent but only a small edge in 3-dart average. In a best-of-11, a sensible angle can be a small handicap rather than a heavy match bet. For example, Killington +1.5 legs means outcomes like 6?5 or 6?4 losses still win the bet, while a 6?3 loss would not. It?s a way to reflect ?competitive profile? without demanding he wins outright.

Betting scenario 2 (180s or totals example): If the opponent is a known maximum hitter and Killington?s recent 180s-per-leg is modest, you might prefer a market that doesn?t rely on him matching that peak power. In a best-of-9, an example line could be Under 4.5 total 180s for the match: results like 3 or 4 maximums win; 5 loses. Alternatively, if both players show strong first 9 averages and quick legs, a line like Over 8.5 legs (needing a 5?4 result) fits a ?hold-heavy? profile better than picking a winner.

How to Use This Profile

What to Check Before a Match

A quick pre-match checklist for Killington:

• Event type: stage vs floor; match length; any set-play rules.
• Last 10?20 matches: 3-dart average trend and first 9 trend.
• Finishing: checkout percentage plus missed doubles volume.
• Hold/break indicators: can he protect his throw and create break chances?
• Opponent style: heavy 180 hitter, steady accumulator, or clinical finisher?

Interpreting Stats Without Overreacting

Darts is high-variance in short windows. Avoid these common mistakes:

• Overweighting one match: a 6?0 win can inflate averages; a 6?5 loss can look worse than it was.
• Ignoring opponent finishing: your player can do little wrong and still lose if the opponent checks out relentlessly.
• Assuming checkout % is stable: doubles fluctuate; look for process markers like chances created and first 9.

When in doubt, widen the sample and look for the same signal in two places (e.g., first 9 improvement and more break chances, not just one spike in average).

Tracking Improvements Over Time

The best use of a player profile is longitudinal. For Killington, track:

• Rolling averages (10-match and 25-match views).
• Finishing efficiency per chance (checkout % plus missed doubles per leg).
• Ceiling and floor: best performances are exciting, but the floor often predicts match reliability.

If the floor is rising (fewer poor matches) while the ceiling stays similar, that?s usually real progress.

FAQs

What is George Killington’s best format?

Use his win rate and averages split by match length on DartsStats.com. As a rule, players with strong first 9 averages often suit shorter races, while players with steadier checkout numbers tend to improve in longer formats.

What are George Killington’s strongest stats?

Start with the trio that most often travels between events: 3-dart average, first 9 average, and break chances created. Then confirm with checkout percentage and missed doubles to see whether the performance is sustainable.

What should you look for in George Killington’s recent form?

Look for a 10?20 match sample showing either (a) a rising first 9 average, or (b) stable finishing with consistent chance creation. One-off spikes are less informative than repeatable patterns across multiple matches.

Which doubles does George Killington prefer?

Preferred doubles are best inferred from frequent finishing routes and the clusters of missed doubles. Check his match stats and note whether he repeatedly ends on D16/D20 routes or favours alternatives like D10 or D12.

Does George Killington perform better on stage or floor?

Filter his results by event type. If the stage sample is small, treat it cautiously: a couple of matches can distort the picture. Focus on whether his scoring (first 9) holds up and whether finishing drops under pressure.

How often does George Killington hit 180s?

The cleanest measure is 180s per leg rather than raw 180 totals, as match lengths vary. Compare his 180s-per-leg figure to his first 9 average to understand whether his scoring is maximum-led or built on steady 140/100 accumulation.

The Final Throw

George Killington?s numbers are most useful when you read them as a connected story: how he scores early (first 9), how often he creates chances, and whether he converts those chances at the business end. Use DartsStats.com filters to separate stage from floor, short races from longer formats, and recent form from longer-term baseline.

When you?re weighing up a bet, prioritise markets that match the evidence. If his matches are consistently close, a legs handicap or match total can be more logical than a straight winner pick. If his scoring is steady but maximum volume is modest, 180 markets may be less suitable than legs or performance-based angles.

Most importantly, treat darts as a high-variance sport: small samples can mislead, and even ?good reads? lose sometimes. Only stake what you can afford to lose, avoid chasing, and take breaks if betting stops being enjoyable.
