The basics of darts

Darts is a fairly simple game to play. It involves two players who take a turn to throw 3 darts on the board. The circular cork board is divided into 20 parts, and each part has a score value to it. The score value ranges from 1 up to 60, depending on the part of the board.

The outer segment is double and the inner segment is a treble, meaning you get double or treble the score of the number in which the dart lands. The centre circle (bullseye) will offer 50 and the outer ring around it 25.

In the game of darts, players are usually required to hit exactly 501 in as few throws as possible. To check out and win the game, players need to hit or double the bullseye. Darts is usually played over several sets or games depending on the tournament.
