Darts - A Game of Precision, Skill, and Strategy
Introduction
How the Game is Played
Darts is typically played between two players or teams. The most common format is 501 or 301, where players start with a set number of points (501 or 301) and take turns throwing three darts per round to reduce their score to exactly zero.
Scoring: The dartboard is divided into numbered sections (1 to 20), with double, triple, bullseye (50 points), and outer bull (25 points) scoring zones.
Winning the Game: Players must reach exactly zero by hitting a double (the outer ring) or the bullseye on their final throw.
Variations: Other formats include Cricket, Around the Clock, and Killer.
Key Rules & Equipment
Key Rules:
Throwing Distance: The standard distance from the throw line (oche) to the dartboard is 2.37 meters (7 feet 9.25 inches).
Height of Dartboard: The bullseye must be exactly 1.73 meters (5 feet 8 inches) from the ground.
Scoring System: Points are calculated based on where the dart lands, with doubles and triples multiplying scores accordingly.
Bust Rule: If a player’s score goes below zero or they fail to land on an exact double to finish, their turn is void.
Essential Equipment:
Darts: Typically made of tungsten, steel-tip darts are used for professional play, while soft-tip darts are used for electronic boards.

About The App
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
