Darts - The Game

Darts is governed by the British Darts Organisation (BDO) and professionally by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). The rules of darts can be checked on the BDO site. [Pic of famous player].

Darts is a form of throwing game where darts are thrown at a circular target (dartboard) fixed to a wall.[2] Though various different boards and games have been used in the past, the term "darts" usually now refers to a standardised game involving a specific board design and set of rules. As well as being a professional competitive activity, darts is a traditional pub game, commonly played in the United Kingdom , across the Commonwealth, the Netherlands, Ireland, the Scandinavian countries, the United States and elsewhere.

There are many games that can be played on a dartboard, but darts generally refers to a game whereby the player throws three darts per visit to the board with the goal of reducing a fixed score, commonly 501 or 301, to zero, with the final dart landing in either the bullseye or a double segment. A game of darts is generally contested between two players, or two teams, who take turns in throwing up to three darts.

A throw that reduces a player's score below zero, to exactly one, or to zero but not ending with a double is known as "going bust", with that player's score being reset and their turn forfeited. A darts match is played over a fixed number of games, known as legs. A match may be divided into sets, with each set being contested as over a fixed number of legs.
