The conventional way of playing darts, '01 games are those where two players or teams compete down from a number (usually 501) to zero. Each contestant takes a turn throwing three scoring darts -- the sum of the three darts is reduced from their overall total, so if a player starts on 501 and scores 20, 18, 18, he is then on 445. When a contestant gets to 170 and below, he can win the game by "checking out." This is where the final dart of their game is a double. For example, if a player requires 38 (double 19) for the win and accidentally scores 39 or more, they "bust" their score and must let their opponent throw again before returning to try and check out 38. One completed '01 game is known as a "leg," and "sets" are usually the best out of three or five legs. Furthermore, darts matches are often the best of three sets.

Darts is a game that is played in many different variations, in many different regions of the world. Its greatest popularity may be in UK pubs, and Americanized versions of these pubs, but it is just as enjoyable to play at home or in another casual environment. Because the rules and their variations are not common knowledge, familiarizing yourself with the internationally recognized standards of both boards and rules can give you a competitive edge.

Standard Dimensions
The standard dimensions of a dartboard is 18 inches in diameter, or nine inches out from the center of the bull's eye.

Standard Board Placement
As long as you are playing a type of dart game that uses the standard board, there is a regulation standard for the board's placement. The bull's eye should be centered at five feet, eight inches off the ground. The throwing line is marked at seven feet and nine and one fourth inches away from the board.

"Fives" Board
The "Fives" variant of darts uses the same standard size board (18 inches in diameter), however it is sectioned into twelve equal radials, rather than the standard 20. The points are all multiples of five with five being the lowest, and 20 being the highest. Each number repeats three times on the board.

"Fives" Board Placement
The "Fives" dart board is placed at the same height on the wall as the standard board; however, the throwing line for this board is nine feet from the board.
