In the dart game Cricket, players attempt to "close out" the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull's-eye in fewer throws than their opponent(s).

Closing Out
A number is successfully closed out when a player hits it three times. This is generally denoted on the scoreboard by a diagonal slash for the first hit, a second diagonal slash making an "x" for the second hit and a circle around the "x" for the third hit, signaling a number is closed out.

Scoring
When a player is first to close out a number he can score points by hitting that number again. This opportunity remains available until all players have closed that particular number. The amount of points scored is equal to the target number. In the case of the bull's-eye, the outer ring scores 25 points and the center scores 50.

Bonus Rings
Cricket counts both the outer double-score and inner triple-score rings. A double counts as two hits on a target number while a triple counts as three. That means a player can potentially close out a number with one dart. With bull's-eyes, the outer ring counts as one hit, the center as two.

Bonus Rings and Points
Once a player has closed a number, the double and triple rings act as point multipliers. A triple 20 would equate to 60 points if the player has closed that number. If a player hits a double or triple score but only needed one strike to close out the number, the additional hits are counted as points so long as an opponent still has the number open.

Winning
A winner is declared when one player has closed out the target numbers and has the highest point total. If a player has closed all the target numbers but has fewer points than his opponent, he must continue hitting whatever number the opponent has open to reach a higher point total.

Dart cricket is a game played by two people or two teams competing against each other. Unlike many other dart games, much of the board gets ignored in cricket, in which you try to hit only the numbers 15 through 20 and the bull's-eye. To win, you'll need to throw the darts accurately, but you'll also need to understand the rules to be able to capitalize on your opponent's weaknesses.

1.Close out numbers 15 to20 and the bull's-eye by hitting them three times. If you hit the number in its outer ring, it counts as two hits, and if you hit the number in its inner ring, it counts as three hits. Once you have the third hit, you can close out that number. Not only does this bring you one step closer to winning the game, but it keeps your opponent from being able to increase their score.

2.Score points by hitting numbers that your opponent has yet to close out. For example, let's say that you've already closed out the number 15, but your opponent hasn't. Not only have you earned 45 points by hitting the 15 three times for yourself, you can continue to ear 15 points by hitting the 15 on the board until your opponent has closed out that number.

3.Close out every number and the bull's-eye before you opponent does. Once you have beaten them to closing everything out, add up the scores. If you have the highest score, you win.

4.Continue playing if you've closed everything out but do not have the highest score. Remember that the only way to get points is to try to hit numbers that your opponent still has open. To win, you have to get your score higher than your opponent's score before your opponent has a chance to close out all of their numbers while still in the lead.

Walk into practically any bar and there is a good chance you will see a person or two throwing darts. According to A1Darts.com, one of the most common games played in America is called "cricket." Cricket utilizes only the dartboard numbers 15 through 20 along with the bull's-eye; the other numbers do not count toward the goal. Your goal in cricket is to "close" each number and the bull's-eye by striking that number three times. Learning how to shoot cricket darts requires you to understand how to throw a dart. The rest is aiming and practice.

1.Practice properly throwing darts. Hold your throwing shoulder steady and grip the dart between your thumb and first two fingers. Point the tip of the dart up and aim at your target. Bring your forearm toward your elbow and flick your arm, releasing the dart as your elbow straightens out. Dartbase.com shows an animation on this motion (see Resources).

2.Aim for any number between 15 and 20 or the bull's-eye. Throw your darts at the number. Darts that strike the thin, outer ring count as two; the inner ring counts as three. Darts in the number panel but not in either ring count as one.

3.Keep track of your score by writing down the numbers in descending order, 20 through 15, adding the bull's-eye at the bottom. When you score a point, mark it next to the number. The classic way to score points is to use a slash for the first point, a second slash to form an "X" for the second point and a circle around the "X" to indicate that the number is closed out (when the third point is scored).

4.Focus on the proper throwing technique as you continue playing cricket, trying to hit each number (15 through 20) and the bull's-eye three times.

inches (172.72 cm) from the floor, eye-level for a 6-foot (180 cm) person. The oche /—the line behind which the throwing player must stand—is generally 7 feet 9  inches (236.86 cm) from the face of the dartboard measured horizontally. Another recognised way of dartboard / oche dimensions is as thus... set up the dartboard on a solid wall so that the distance from the floor to the centre of the bullseye (in the centre of the dartboard) is 68 inches (172.72 cm), then measuring again from the centre of the bullseye in a diagonal manner, measure 115.41 inches (293.14 cm) from the bullseye to the rear of the oche and this will ensure true and accurate allround dimensions, provided the floor is horizontal and the walls are plumb.

An alternate means of measuring the distance from the bullseye to the far side of the oche or throwing line. It is 93.249 inches (236.85 cm) from the rear of the oche to a plumb line hanging (right angle) from the bulls eye. This figure is calculated using Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c². This is the recognized world standard as set by the World Darts Federation and is used in most areas.
