2. Darts Rules: The basic principles of the game

A good understanding of the rules is essential for an honest and competitive game of darts. In this article we discuss the basic rules of the game, including:

1. How you start
2. The playing order
3. What to do when an arrow falls out of the board

How you start

The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible with darts. A dartboard is divided into 20 fields, numbered from 1 to 20. The point count is as follows:

1. A dart in the outer ring (the Bull's Eye) yields 50 points.
2. A dart in the inner ring of the Bull's Eye (the Double Bull's Eye) yields 150 points.
3. A dart in another field yields the number of that field.
4. To start the game, each player throws a dart in the middle of the dartboard (the Bull's Eye). The player with the highest score starts the game.

The playing order

1. The player who starts, takes turns three darts. The player who scores the highest number of points wins turn.
2. The player who scored the most points at the end of a round wins that round.

What to do when an arrow falls out of the board

If an arrow falls out of the board, it is not counted. The player must put the arrow back in the board and throw it again.

There are some exceptions to this rule:

• If an arrow falls out of the board due to another arrow, the arrow is counted.
• If an arrow falls out of the board after the player has indicated that he has finished throwing, the arrow will be counted.

With these basic rules you are ready to start darts. Have fun!

3. Darting point count: the path to victory

The scoring in darts can sometimes seem confusing, especially for beginners. In this article we discuss the scoring at various darts games, including 301, 501 and Cricket. We will also discuss the strategies for winning these games.

301 and 501

The two most popular darts games are 301 and 501. With both games, each player starts with a score of 301 or 501. The player who comes first to zero wins the game.

At 301, each player takes turns three darts. The player may throw the darts in every field of the dartboard. The score of each dart is added to the total score.

To win the game, a player has to return the score to zero. This is possible in different ways:

• By throwing a dart in the outer ring (the Bull's Eye). This yields 50 points.
• By throwing a dart in the inner ring of the Bull's Eye (the Double Bull's Eye). This yields 150 points.
• By throwing a dart in another field. This yields the number of that field.

At 501 the game is comparable to 301, but the score is higher. To win the game, a player has to return the score to zero.

Cricket

Cricket is a darts game where the players try to score 60 points. The players take turns three darts.

With cricket, the fields of the dartboard are divided into two halves: the inner half and the outer half. The players try to score as many fields as possible in their half.

A dart in a field yields the number of that field. If a player throws a dart in a field that has already been scored by the opponent, the opponent gets 5 points.

If a player has scored all the fields in half, he has a "wood". The player then gets 5 points for each field that the opponent scores in that half.

The first player who scores 60 points wins the game.

Strategies for winning darts games

There are a number of strategies that you can use to win darts games. Here are some tips:

1. Start with a good score. Try to score as many points as possible in your first turn. This gives you a lead over your opponent.
2. Be consistent. Try to score about the same number of points every turn. This will help you beat your opponent.
3. Keep focusing. Darts is a precision sport, so it's important to stay focused. Do not lose your attention and focus on your goal.

With the right scoring and strategies you can improve your darts skills and win more competitions.
