A semi-final at the World Darts Championship had to be halted when Adrian Lewis and James Wade complained of a draught.
The darts aces said their game was being impacted by a draught coming across the stage at Alexandra Palace and affecting their arrows.
As such the duo refused to throw and the match was halted -- much to the annoyance of fans who reacted furiously.
Even after a restart the players said the breeze was noticeable and would not continue to play until all doors and windows were closed.
Organisers complied and after ensuring "every air movement was natural" the match started about 30 minutes later.
