How to Play American Cricket Tungsten Darts

People who dabble in darts don't realize that cricket is a strategy game. Learn the rules, then develop your technique. The instructions of how to play American Cricket tungsten darts is:

1.Play with two people or four people on two teams.

2.Write the numbers 20 down to 15 vertically on each side of the scoreboard. Put a letter "B" (for "bull's-eye") below the 15, and below that write "points."

3.Throw three darts at a time, alternating players. Remove the darts after your turn.

4.Count any darts that land in the bull's-eye or numbers 15 through 20. Don't award points for hits on the numbers 1 through 14.

5.Mark a slash on the scoreboard next to a number when you hit one. The second time you hit, make a second slash to form an X. The third time, circle the X.

6.Count the number twice if a dart lands in the doubles ring (the narrow one around the outside), and count the number three times if a dart lands in the triples ring (the smaller one between the doubles ring and the bull's-eye).

7.Close out a number by hitting it three times. Once an X is circled, that number is closed.

8.Hit a number that you've already closed but your opponent still has open, and you get points: If you closed 15 and then hit it again, you get 15 points, which you write in the points area. If you closed the bull's-eye and then hit it again, you score 50 points.

9.Total up all of the points when one player closes out all of his numbers plus the B. The person or team with the most points wins.

10.Keep playing if you close all of your numbers before your opponent but are behind in total points. You can win only if you accumulate more points than your opponent before he closes out all of his numbers.

Tips & Warnings

Try to close numbers that your opponent has closed to keep him from scoring more points.

Points don't start accumulating until the number is closed.

A variation called "no slop" requires the players to close out the numbers in order starting with 20 at the top and working down to B at the bottom.
