1.Hang the dartboard so that the center is 5 feet 8 inches from the floor.

2.Mark the throwing line, called the 'oche' (rhymes with 'hockey'), with nonskid tape. The line should be 7 feet, 9 1 /4 inches from the face of the dartboard (not the wall), according to the World Darts Federation.

3.Make sure the tape mark lies so that the front edge is the actual line. In other words, a player may step on the tape, but not past it.

4.Give each player or team three darts, and determine who throws first by having each player or team representative throw one dart. The player or team whose dart is closest to the center, or bull's-eye, gets to go first.

5.Warm up, as competitive dart players do, by alternating throws until each person has thrown nine darts.

6.Once the game begins, take your turn by throwing your three darts.

7.Add up the score. Each part of the board has a number, and that is the dart's score.

8.Count a dart that misses the board completely as a throw. The score for that dart is zero.

9.Remove your darts and allow the other player to throw.

10.Alternate until the game is over. There are numerous dart games, including the simple one in which players throw five sets, and whoever has the highest score wins.

In the United Kingdom, dartboard variations exist that alter the numerical sequence and scoring a bit. One board, known as the Yorkshire or Kent Doubles board, lacks the triple score ring in standard boards. The Lincoln board is similar to the Yorkshire board, but is black and white rather than featuring colors. The Lancashire board matches the Lincoln board, but is smaller and usually made of wood. There are also boards that use only multiples of five as the scoring, known as the London Fives and Wide Fives boards. The London Fives board features thinner double and triple rings, while the Wide Fives board has wider rings.

Aiming: Put your eyes, the dart and the target you want to hit in one line. Focus the target, not the dart or that pretty girl/boy just entering the bar. Use aiming points on the target if you like, or aim in a different way, but: Aim!. Most darters do aiming naturally, but surpisingly some beginners don't do from the start. It's a must DO, so do it.

Backward move: Do this, but don't do it too fast. Many beginners fear the necessary loss of aiming during the backward move, but controlling this is only a matter of practice. There are only few successful players out who omit the backward movement, so it's another DO for 99 percent of us. How far you move back is a personal thing, but it's good to move back quite a bit. If you find it comfortable, you can and should move back as far as possible. You can avoid slamming into your eyes or nose by pulling back under your chin or beside your cheek (the one in your FACE, of course!), that depends on your personal technique. A typical error here is not to pull back enough because control of this is difficult, but you will thus sacrifice a lot of acceleration space and accuracy. Better practice more than going the easy way!

 Acceleration: Not that crucial as you might think. Do it naturally, and don't do it too fast or with too much force. Do it smoothely in one move and all the way to the follow-through. Remember the elbow coming up. IF you do wrist-snap, then your hand goes forward in this phase until full extension of the whole arm in follow-through.

Release: As wrote above, with the right throwing this comes naturally and is no big problem. If you have troubles with the release point, then most probably you do a technical error, don't raise your elbow or don't do follow-through. This is the critical point for your wrist-snap. The hand must be in the correct angle to the forearm here. If it has travelled further, your dart points down at the release point, and this - well, refer to the 'The Dart' section at the end of this document.

In addition to the randomized numbers, standard dartboards also feature two different rings that alter the scoring and focus on dart player skill. The outer ring of the dartboard doubles the points for that section. For example, a dart landing in the outer ring in the 20 section would be worth 40 points. The smaller inner ring triples the score. Games can be played either by trying to achieve the highest score combination with three darts or by starting with a certain score and subtracting points to try and reach zero.
