 Feet behind the line.
 If you step anywhere over the line before the dart hits the board the throw scores zero
no matter what is hit and may not be thrown over.

SCORING
In the wedge or on the target you get the number posted outside that wedge plus
Outer ring – twice (2x) the number hit
Inner ring – three times (3x) the number hit
Bulls Eye – 25 points (if “double bull” is on then the outer Bulls Eye is 25 and the inner Bulls Eye
is 50.
(Various Games Played)
Count-up
The game of Count-up can be played in singles or in teams. Each player or team gets 3
throws per set (turn) and there are 8 sets in a game. The numbers are added together and the
winner is the player or team with the most points. A good score in this game is 350 points or
more. Low Ton means a player scored between 100 and 150 in one set which is considered an
excellent score.
Cricket
Cricket is a game requiring more skill than other dart games. The object of the game is to hit
numbers 15 through 20 and the Bulls Eye three times. Once you close out a number you can
continue to add points to your score by hitting those numbers until your opponent closes out as
well. The game is over when a player or team closes out all numbers or 35 sets are thrown. It is
not the player who closes out first that wins but the player with the most points after all closes
out or 35 sets.
*In class we play “Quick Cricket” or 10 rounds to speed up play.
301
Each player or team starts with 301 points. Darts are thrown in sets of 3 and the score is
subtracted from 301 until a player or team gets exactly to zero. If the score goes below zero
the set is over and the score goes back to where it was before that set began. The winner is
the player to get to exactly zero.
