Dart cases FAQs
What is darts?
Darts is a game in which darts are thrown at a target hung on a wall.
It is commonly played in pubs in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
the Scandinavian countries, the United States and elsewhere.
What is a dart board?
Dart boards are usually made of sisal fibers and each section is lined
with thin metal wire. The numbers are normally made of wire. Regional
variations on the standard board still exist in some parts of England.
In particular, the Yorkshire board is identical to the standard board
save that it has no treble ring and has a single, inner bull. The dartboard
itself may have its origins in the cross section of a tree, although
some historical records suggest that the first standard dartboards were
the bottoms of wine casks; this game was called "butts".
How far should one stand from the dart board?
The center of the dartboard is hung 5 ft 8 in from the floor, and the
oche, or throwing line at which the player's foot is placed, is 7 ft
9.25 in from the face of the board.
How is darts scored?
Points are awarded for hitting the various sections.
Hitting a white or black section gives points equal to the number aligned
to that section (1 to 20).
Hitting the outer red or green sections is worth double points.
Hitting the red or green section inside that is worth triple points.
The outer ring in the centre of the board is worth 25 points.
The inner ring (also known as "The Bull" or "Bullseye")
is worth 50 points.
Hitting outside the layer of doubles merits no points.
If the dart does not remain in the dartboard (i.e. it bounces or falls
out) then no points are scored.
The highest score possible from 3 darts is 180, which is obtained when
all three darts land in the treble 20.
