In all darts events each leg shall be played with a straight start, and the finish must be on a ‘double’, unless 

stated otherwise in the playing format of a particular event.

 

The ‘Bull’ shall count as ‘50’, and if ‘50’ is required to complete a leg, set, or match, then the ‘Bull’ shall 

count as ‘Double 25’.

 

The ‘Bust’ rule shall apply, IE: if a player scores more than the number required then that score shall not 

count, and the player’s score shall revert back to the score the player required prior to the opponent’s last 

throw.

 

A ‘Game Shot’ called by a referee is valid, only if the darts thrown achieve the required finish, and remain in 

the dartboard until retrieved by the player at the time that ‘Game Shot’ is called.

 If a ‘Game Shot’ called by a referee is declared invalid, then the player shall have the right to continue the 

throw, which is in progress, in an attempt to achieve the required finish.

If as a result of the error declared in Clause 11.05 the player has retrieved a dart, or darts, then the referee 

shall replace the dart, or darts, in as near as practicable the same position, or positions, and then invite the 

player to complete that throw.

 

The BDO does not recognise the principle of ‘equal darts’, a player who finishes by obtaining the points 

required in accordance with the BDO Playing Rules wins that leg, set, or match, whichever is applicable.

The only exception to this Clause is in those events when an equal number of darts are allocated to players 

in a specific playing format.

 

Any darts mistakenly thrown by a player after scoring the required ‘double’ shall not be counted, as the 

respective leg, set, or match is concluded by the dart scoring the required ‘double’.
