How Do You Score Darts? A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding how to score darts accurately is crucial for success in the game. This guide clarifies the scoring system, addressing common player questions and misunderstandings. We'll cover everything from basic scoring to more advanced concepts like finishes.

Basic Dart Scoring

The dartboard is divided into 20 numbered segments, each with a double and triple ring. The bullseye consists of a double bull (50 points) and a single bull (25 points). Points are awarded based on where your darts land. A dart landing in the 20 segment scores 20 points; a dart in the triple 20 scores 60 points, and a dart in the double 20 scores 40 points.

Understanding the Scoring Rings

Single: The outer section of each numbered segment. Points are equal to the segment number.

Double: The ring immediately surrounding the single segment. Points are double the segment number.

Triple: The inner ring surrounding the double ring. Points are triple the segment number.

Bullseye: The central circle. The inner bullseye (double bull) scores 50 points, while the outer bullseye (single bull) scores 25 points.

Calculating Your Score

After three darts are thrown, the total score for that turn is the sum of the points from each dart. For example, if a player hits a single 20, a double 10, and a triple 5, their score for that turn is 20 + 20 + 15 = 55 points.

Advanced Scoring Strategies

Many professional dart players utilize strategies involving specific finishes and checkouts. A checkout is the final throw or series of throws needed to reach a score of zero. Learning common checkouts, like 160 (T20, T20, D20), improves efficiency and consistency.
