Rules and Regulations for the Game of Darts

Darts is a game that has been enjoyed for generations, and is a staple in many bars and pubs. The game may seem straightforward, but darts has a list of specific rules and regulations that must be followed to successfully play the game. These guidelines,however, are easy to learn with some tips and hints.

Beginning
Darts is a two sided game that requires either two people or two teams. If using teams,the number of people on each team can be determined by the individual. Traditionally,each player is allowed nine warm up throws prior to the start of the game. The player orteam that throws a dart closest to the bullseye during this warm up usually goes first once the game begins. Before beginning, mark a line on the floor to determine where players must stand when they throw. Players who step over this line may be penalized a point.

Scoring
During each player's turn, the individual throws three darts. Darts that bounce or fall off the board don't count. Darts that stick to the board earn a point value based on where they land. If the dart falls in the outer circle, it earns the amount shown on the outer circle for that section. If it falls in the second inner circle, it earns twice that amount. If it falls in the third inner circle, it earns three times that amount. If it falls in the white part of the bullseye, it earns 25 points. If it falls in the red part of the bullseye, it earns 50 points.

Variations
A number of variations have been created for playing darts. One variation is 301, where teams start with 301 points and throw darts to earn points that reduce the initial number. The goal here is to be the first team or player to reach zero. Another variation is Cricket where only the darts thrown in sections numbered 15 to 20 are valid to earn points; the other sections are off limits. Players can make the other numbers valid by throwing three darts into that number's section.
