Dart Board Height: 5 feet. 8 inches from floor to the center of the bull's-eye.

Distance from front of the dartboard to the throwing line: 7 feet 9 1/4  inches.  To mark the throw line a simple piece of tape will suffice.  Major tournaments, however, use a "hockey" which is a thin raised strip of wood approximately 1 1/2 inches high (see image diagram below).

Mounting:  Flush to the wall - not leaning like a picture - with the 20 at the top.

Location: Since darts often bounce out of the dartboard, never put a dartboard up near windows or breakables or where anyone could walk between the throwline and the dartboard.  Also, if you have a hard floor, such as concrete or wood, you may want to consider getting a dart mat.

The dart scoreboard should be mounted to left or the right of the dart board for easy access.

The equipment needed to play darts is as follows:

A good dartboard
   
A set of three darts, either soft-tipped or steel-tipped.
    
A safe, well lit place to play.

Dartboard Measurements

The standard international dartboard is known as the "clock" board.  The standard dartboard measurement is 18 inches in diameter and has 30 numbered, pie-shaped segments of equal size, plus the bull's-eye.  Each numbered segment has a double ring on the outside perimeter of the scoring area and an interior triple ring (which count as double and triple of that number respectively).  The bull's-eye has an outerbull area (also know as the single bull, which scores 25) and an inner bull (also known as a double bull's-eye, which scores 50).

Here are tips about to help you hit your target.

Choose a stance that is most comfortable to you. Some people like to face the board, feet together. Rainwater, who is left-handed, prefers to place her left foot forward, toes pointed toward the board. She angles her right foot and right shoulder away from the board so her body is at a diagonal to the board, with the left shoulder forward. So play around with your stance. "With each person, it's whatever feels natural," she said.

Eyes on the prize: Don't stare at the whole dartboard. "Concentrate on the number you want to hit."

It's all in the elbows: "Pretend that your arm is on a shelf," she said. The power in a throw should come from the elbow, so she keeps her arm at a 90-degree angle to the floor. Hold the dart at eye level, gripping its midsection toward the tip, then pull back next to your ear. While looking at your target on the board, extend your arm straight from the elbow and let go of the dart with a flick of the wrist. At the end of the throw, "your index finger should be pointing at what you're aiming at."

Practice is key to perfecting your throw. If you're interested in competing, you have to prepare your arm for the long days. But don't overdo it; your arm will get tired, and that will affect your throw.

Own your darts: Once you get serious, Rainwater suggests buying your own darts. She said prices vary from $20 to $150, depending on the material.
